i am trying to install the beta audio drivers to run protools 8.0.3 on windows 7 64-bit. I have followed the instructions supplied in the digi forum. the installshield wizard keeps getting interrupted with the message 'the wizard was interrupted before digidesign audio drivers could be completely installed' has anyone experienced this problem? any help would be awesome. |

Re: problem installing digidesign audio drivers (beta) for windows 7 64-bit
did you uninstall the 8.0.3 drivers first from PROGRAMS and FEATURES located in the control panel.
Then RIGHT CLICK the Driver installer, choose Run As Admin. Let it load. You can leave the 003R off, it doesn't matter. Then restart. Turn your 003R ON before the PC boots. When it boots. Go to Devices and Printers in your Start menu. You will see the 003 Rack. Right click it. Properties >Hardware tab> Properties. Click the Driver tab. it will PROBABLY say Driver version 8.0.3.xxx, this is the wrong driver. Click UPDATE DRIVER. Browse My Computer. Let me pick. Now depending on if you have another interface like the 11R installed, it probably wont show the version of the driver in the Compatible Drivers area, BUT if the 003R is your only interface you should see 2 drivers. 8.0.3 and 8.0.4. If you dont see them, UNCHECK the "Compatible Only" box. Choose the 8.0.4.223 driver dated 12/16/2009. Click next. Let it load. Then the HOST light will probably start to blink on your 003R. Then you are good to go. Restart, and launch Pro Tools. Remember to have User Account Controls OFF. And always launch PT with Run As Admin.

Re: problem installing digidesign audio drivers (beta) for windows 7 64-bit
thanks for that,
my problem is still that after uninstalling 8.0.3 driver, it will not complete the installing of the new driver. and comes up with 'the wizard was interrupted before digidesign audio drivers could be completely installed'...so i dont have access to the 8.0.4.223 driver you recomend... |

I just received my 003 rack, do you think it is possible for you to instruct me on how to do it? I was reading on the Official unofficial windows 7 thread about people who made with the mbox, but I hardly find anyone who made it with the 003... Please.... thannks cheers |

amoretam,
The 8.0.4 release has superseded 8.0.3 and includes the proper drivers for the 003. Upgrade to this new version following the online instructions carefully.

I find my 003 rack in devices and printers, go to the driver tab and it has the 8.0.3 driver, but IT DOESN'T LET ME UPDATE THE DRIVER!!! The button to press is whited out, so i can't do a thing. I have tried running cubase, which at least loads with out blue screening, but when i get to adding the 003 asio driver it doesn't allow me, giving the following error: Audio Engine Error: Could not activate ASIO Driver ASIO Digidesign Driver FW003 Please help, else i would have spent all this money on the Hardware etc for nothing |

Re: problem installing digidesign audio drivers (beta) for windows 7 64-bit
Interesting thread. My Windows7/PTLE8.0.4 install seems to not have correct driver support. I was wondering whether or not there was a need for manual driver installation--but this thread seems to indicate that all the necessary drivers are now included with 8.0.4, and this makes sense. But it still doesn't change the fact that my hardware isn't found by PT at start-up; nor does the 003R show up in the Windows Device Manager.
Very interesting indeed... TB EDIT: It just occurred to me that I haven't explored this Legacy driver mode. In the 75+ pages of that one thread, I remember reading about it--but sort of forgot about it. There are so many issues mentioned in these W7/LE8 threads, that it's hard to keep them straight. So you have to run the 8.0.4 updater with the fire wire card in Legacy mode, or can you just switch to that mode after the installation has finished?
