attempting to install a mix system 6.4.1

[Filmusic]

today i obtained the last bit of hardware needed to begin setting up my mix system

i have a intellistation zpro - 2 gigs of ram - 2x3.06xeon procs

i have several cards and 888's - but thought to install a single a mix core at this time - it is connected to a single 888

i have followed the reference guide and installed the software, card, and connected the 888 by way of the cable from the mix core card

when i attempt to run the software - it hangs on 'creating dae and midi command'

i have run the digi command - all reports well with the card

hum...any ideas why i've hit the wall

i'll try a different cable...fingers crossed
