USB Audio Device is not compatible with this version of Windows (Vista Laptop).

[jphaudio]

Has anyone got this Microsoft system message on boot up? Do I use only firewire?

After doing some updates I get this message on Microsoft OS bootup:

"Address a problem with USB Audio Device
USB Audio Device is not compatible with this version of Windows.
Digidesign, the company that manufactured USB Audio Device, has informed Microsoft that they don't expect to offer updates to solve this problem.
To search for similar devices that are compatible with Windows Vista, go online to the Windows Vista Compatibility Center: "

Has this message been problem? Has it stopped you from installing or running PT? or is it just a warning message?

Durring instalation Digi tells you to ignore Window's prompts and allow Digi to install the drivers.

I have not been able to get PT LE to run. I was hoping that the audio USB from Digidesign will work on my vista ultimate laptop. thanks...

Here is my config for my laptop. I have the PT Mbox 2 Mini. I was just hoping to get the program to run somehow, maybe with a modification if needed...thanks.

sorry, I have the 7.4 LE which I got updated to 8 but it still did not start up. I uninstalled and reinstalled a few times.

[jphaudio]

7.4. I am having ll these issues on this version at the moment...

1. Again, what interface?
2. You DO realize that you're going to need a physically separate hard drive for audio in order for this to work correctly? A partitioned system drive won't cut it.

IMPORTANT! You MUST use a secondary hard drive (not your main OS drive) for recording and playback of audio in Pro Tools. Recording or playback from the OS drive is known to be problematic and the cause of many different error types. If you are using your system drive and encountering errors, the first thing you should do is get a compatible drive. USB drives are not supported and are known to be problematic, so please do not use them with Pro Tools. If you're recording or playing back from a USB drive and are getting errors in Pro Tools, please switch to using a compatible external firewire drive or internal SATA/ATA/IDE drive and disconnect the USB drive.

Pro Tools supports recording and playback to a secondary drive that meets the following requirements:

7200 rpm or faster
9ms seek time or faster

Firewire drives must have the Oxford 911 (FW400 port), Oxford 912 (FW400 & FW800 ports) or Oxford 924 (FW800 ports) Bridge chip. USB drives are not supported and are known to be problematic.

I was trying to install 7.4. I will take whatever version will work though. Thank you for helping me on this...
