Digi002, Protools 8 and Windows 7?

[SimonSez]

Any success?

At this point, its about 50/50. I have a friend that is experimenting with the latest Win7 version and he got PT working(with the 003) on an HP laptop, but it won't work on his desktop that runs PT fine with XP. It seems that the Win7 firewire driver is picky for the moment. You should experiment if you have the time BUT****do it with a separate system drive so your present(fully stable?) system drive does not get wiped in the name of an experiment.

I'm also trying to get Pro Tools 7 (m-powered) to work on 64-bit windows 7. So far it's been no dice. Pro-tools seems to load correctly but it can't detect my m-audio projectmix io audio interface. The Projectmix is working fine in other software under windows 7..... It's really frustrating that digidesign doesn't make supporting new OSes a priority. They are always the last one's to join the club.

i agree, but keep in mind that windows 7 isn't even out yet. i am running pt8 on win7 64-bit right now with no problems (yet), but do remember that it's beta!

As someone who has watched Digi transition from 98 to XP... XP to Vista, and also someone who regularly uses competing DAW software, I'd have to say I like Digi's pace on these matters.
When Digi finally releases a compatible version, it's much less of a "Beta" release than other newest/greatest releases are.
Cubase 4 comes to mind...

I have had problems with windows 7 compat. too. I keep getting the "increase H/W buffer size" msg despite my tweaking the buffer and other settings. Is that what everyone else has had? This is my first post and I believe it will include my specs. if not I will post again:)

[clabmusic]

Guess is doesn't post my specs auto.

MB=ACPI x86
Duel Core pentium(R) D 3.2ghz
I also am running a Geforce 8800 but I'm not sure if that makes a difference.


Reason btw Runs flawless. I'm runnin Reason 2.5.

were you able to install PT8 on windows 7 or did you do an upgrade from vista after you installed pt8...

I seem to be having firewire issues... blue screen.. I installed vista, then PT8 then upgraded to WIN7 32-bit.. can u please tell me more how you arrived at 64-bit win 7 and pt8...

Can Anyone answer these questions:

Will PT8 install on Windows 7 64-bit?

Does anyone have PT8 working on 32-bit or 64-bit Win 7?

and if so, is it working on the Digi 002 or Digi 003.. ?
