Default Pro Tools unable to reacquire the hardware

Digidesign hardware is either not installed or in use by another application" error when launching Pro Tools with a Digi 002. anyone solved this problem?
when I reboot I get the "Pro Tools hardware is either not installed or used by anther program"
no other programs are installed.

Macbook Pro 2010 10.6.8 - Pro Tools 10.3.10 with digi 002. I've eliminated the digi 002 as the problem. I have reinstalled the protools on a new hard drive and get the same results. I think it has to be a driver issue but have tried all the drivers. System worked fine for the past 2 years. Now it just started doing this... this is frustrating. I even went up to 10.7.5 with same results. Thanks in advance for the suggestions....

Exactly how did you eliminate the 002 as the problem? Are you aware of the "power harness" issue that hits almost all 002/002R boxes? Can you verify that the 002 works on another system? The latest 003 mixer driver should be the correct driver.
