Default PCIe drivers not installed

So every time I turn my computer off and turn it back on it says the drivers for my accel core card aren't installed. I have uninstalled and reinstalled pro tools a couple times and it works when I do that, but I want to know what im doing wrong. Am I not supposed to shut down? Is there a shut down checklist that I'm not following? Please help.



Btw I'm new to this hd realm so don't bash me if you read something YOU think everyone else should know.

Hi,

Drivers are built into the software! so i'm surprised you're getting this message and i can't recall ever seeing it before.

What exactly does the message say? or could you grab a screenshot of it?

I would start with uninstalling pro tools. trash all prefs. repair disk permissions. reboot. re-install pro tools. Don't panic its not as difficult as it sounds

All the details and more can be found here...

Uninstall and reinstall Pro Tools
-Run the Pro Tools installer from your CD-ROM or web download.
-Click on the Custom Install menu and choose "Uninstall".
-Click continue and then choose the option for "Clean" uninstall
-Click OK when it reports that the uninstall was successful


Delete Pro Tools preferences.
-Go to Users > “your user name” > Library > Preferences
-Delete 'com.digidesign.protoolsLE.plist', 'DAE Prefs' (folder), 'DigiSetup.OSX' and 'Pro Tools preferences'.
-Empty trash, then restart the computer.


Repair Permissions
-Quit Pro Tools and launch Apple's "Disk Utility" application, located in:

reboot and re-install
