the vm might not work, but since general audio through the vm does work while routed through my RME internal card instead of the Mbox, i'd like to at least try the correct drivers before writing off the whole concept of using a vm.
The real solution is the one you don't want, and that is to come into the 21st century. A modern Windows 10/11 rig with modern Pro Tools is a thousand miles ahead of any 32 bit OS and software. You have no idea what you are missing This can be done on a very reasonable budget by looking at something like a used(eBay) HP Z4 tower(around $300), a modest interface(Focusrite, Behringer, Presonus, etc. have offerings that start at just over $100 and Behringer is less than that). Your old sessions done on XP should all open on a modern PC(you just need to save them in the new file format).
