Hi!

Really struggling!!! Tried most of the recommendations on the DUC, but none have worked...

I could INSTALL the Pro Tools SE software, but when I double click on the desktop icon, the computer just "thinks" for a while, but nothing ever pops up. The program won't run!

Installation went fine, except for one thing: just before finishing the installation, an error message appeared: "Microsoft Windows Register Services stopped working". It has happened every time I try to install Pro Tools again.

I just bought and installed The Fast Track Pro M-Audio USB interface, and the interface works fine. I can plug my keyboard or microphone and use it on other programs such as Magix Music Maker 16 (which I have installed... is that the problem?).

I was very excited about using Pro Tools but it just won't lauch at all. I have tried uninstalling, installing again, disabling anti-virus, etc.

This is my system, which is brand new and supposedly powerful, so it should work!!:

Sony VAIO, Intel Core i7 2.00GHz, 6 GB RAM, 64-bit OS, Windows 7 Home Premium, BD DVD RW, Pro Tools SE 8.0.3, Fast Track Pro

Has somebody found a similar problem? Am I alone in space?

Please HELP!! And thanks a lot for your time if you've made it up to here...

I don't have any crazy peripherials connected, just the wireless printer!!
