Default Pro tools LE 8 wont recognize mbox 2

I recently upgraded to Pro tools LE 8 and I continue to get the same error regarding the digidesign hardware. It ran just fine on Pro tools LE 7.4 but now when I connect the Mbox 2, the Mic lights for both channels are lit but the USB light is off. Please help!

(Running Mac OSX Leopard v.10.5.8, MacBook 2Ghz Intel Core 2 duo Proc.)

What version of PT8 are you running? How did you apply the upgrade?

What I meant by "how did you install?" was... did you install over your 7.4 installation, or did you uninstall first?

Ideally, you should have uninstalled any previous version of Pro Tools before installing PT8. Follow the instructions carefully, and see if it lights up on the first go, before installing any updates. That way you can rule out a hardware issue.

You might also want to try plugging the MBox into a different USB port and see what happens.

I did not uninstall first. I was unaware that you had to do so. I did however uninstall and reinstall after coming across this problem. I have also tried a different USB port as well to no avail. Thanks for answering so promptly by the way.
