I GOT IT!! WINDOWS 7 64 bit AND 003R DRIVERS!

[Ke productions]

Ok. I have been trying to load my 003r drivers for three days on a different computer than mine. (My computer is working great!) I followed every step on the digi site but I kept getting the bsod. Finally, what I decided to do was install the drivers (8.04b) in SAFE MODE.

I booted up in Safe mode (hit F8 at computer startup), went to control panel, device manager, sounds video and game controllers, clicked on digi003r, update driver software, browse my computer, let me pick from a list, click have disk, clicked browse, went to C:\program files (x86), Digidesign, drivers, dg003rack_64, clicked on dg003rack.inf, installed the drivers, Computer said finish, rebooted, and VOILA!!!!! A BIG GREEN BLINKING LIGHT ON THE 003RACK!!! Started PT8, and everything is GOLDEN!!!!

I hope this helps somebody. Don't give up you guys!!!! Pro Tools runs smooth as a sewing machine in Windows 7 64bit!!! It's a monster!
I absolutely love it.
Good luck.

This has been difficult for many. Do to white noise bursts and clock issues, please be cautious. The installation is not the big hurdle. We have all been wanting 64bit compatibility for a long time but... This is a BETA.

Hello everyone. So just registered here on the DUC and this is my first post. Just thought I would chime in on this topic and hope I help a few people! I've been really excited to switch to Windows 7 64-bit and wasn't going to give up until I got it running! I couldn't be happier. So far my system is running fast and stable. I haven't fully tested it yet with a large session but so far no audio problems.

So I did pretty much the same thing as Ke productions recommended. Except I didn't install the drivers in safe mode and I am using a 002mixer. Here are my steps.

1) I booted windows 7 normally.
2) Installed PT 8.0.3 with my 002 disconnected, as per digidesign instructions.
3) Then I tried to install the 8.0.4b drivers but the installer told me drivers were already installed and to remove them via Windows control panel. So I did that.
4) Then I reran the 8.0.4b installer. The installer never prompted me to connect the 002 like the Digidesign instructions said it would. So I was a little nervous.
5) I connected and powerd on my 002. It was detected and installed. But PT would BSOD on startup.
6) So I did basically what Ke productions recommended and manually updated the 002 drivers. went to control panel, device manager, sounds video and game controllers, right clicked on digi002, update driver software, browse my computer, let me pick from a list, click have disk, clicked browse, went to C:\program files (x86), Digidesign, drivers, dg003_64, clicked on dg003.inf, installed the drivers, Computer said finish, rebooted, and VOILA!!!!!
