Talking Installing Mbox2 Win7 64bit drivers WITHOUT Protools 8 - Have you done this? :-)
Hi Guys (and gals!)

I am wanting to install my MBox2 on my brand spankin' new Windows 7 64bit desktop computer.

Thing is - I have the old Protools 7 disc which I know doesn't work with W7.

What I was wondering is - is this possible?

Any help/instructions/etc welcome.

Thanks,

Graeme

You could buy LE 8... or dual boot an XP partition.

Do I really really need PT8LE to do this?

I'm happy to go ahead and buy it if it does - but will it really work, and can I run other software (such as Ableton via ASIO) and use the Mbox2?

Or is it a "your mileage may vary" situation?

(also I'm over dual/triple boot systems!)

go ahead an purchase PT8 then update to 8.0.4 since 8.0.4 is the first official version to be qualified for W7 64 bit. or you could stay at 8.0.3cs2 until the bug that is placing sound early in 8.0.4 is worked out. Either way, you will need PT8.
