Mbox 2 Mini crashes Windows 7 every time

[Mikhael]

Hello,
I am aware that many people are having problems with the Mbox mini and Windows 7, but I have not seen anyone post with my specific problem. I have searched the forum, but have not found any solution to my problem.

I am trying to run Pro Tools LE 8.04 with Mbox mini on my HP dm4 Laptop with Windows 7 64bit.
The problem is basically that as soon as the CPU recognizes the Mbox it crashes. The Mbox lights up, but cannot run on the CPU for some reason.

I followed a tutorial to try and make it work, which meant: uninstalling PT, reinstalling without the Mbox plugged in, reinstalling 8.04 upgrade without Mbox plugged in and making sure I am running as an administrator.

The install went fine, but the Mbox mini still crashes the CPU every time.

I tried running it with my friend's Mbox 1 and it ran fine.

Is there any way to make the Mbox 2 mini work? or do I have to trade it in for an Mbox 1?

Any help or suggestions would be greatly, greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Mikhael
