Go to M-Audio's website, download the most recent driver for the Keystudio, and run the installer. It will likely detect your Keystudio and install the proper drivers. Try this first.

And, not to be the bearer of bad news, but, Windows 7 and Pro Tools 8.0.3 has many problems working together. I had to install Windows XP and Pro Tools 8.0.1cs1 just to get a stable recording system. Pro Tools is still in Beta for Windows 7. And, Pro Tools version 8.0.3 has all sorts of issues.

hi i resolved the problem.... right click the pro tools software icon and go to "advanced" ....there check the "run as administrator" box then click "apply'.....all the MIDI problems can be solved by doing so....Thank you for previous responses....

I know it's an old thread... Just dropping in to day running Protools MP 9 on Windows 10 as admin fixed the MIDI issues. I'm glad this came up in my google search-

cheers.
