Default iMac PT LE 7.3cs1 Rack 003 Error "Not Installed or Used by Another program"

I have "upgraded" from my MacBook Pro to an iMac but have not been able to start PT yet. I receive "ProTools hardware is either not installed or used by another program" error message. I've read some forum suggestions including daisy chaining the G Drive and Rack 003 - to no good end. I read about having the 800 Fire Wire go here and there and converting the 800 to 400 or booting up before the Rack is powered up or checking to see if Core Audio was being used by another program. I have:
Pro Tools LE 7.3cs1
Mac OS 10.6.4 (Snow Leopard? - Just bought the computer)
iMac intel core i3, 4gb memory
Rack 003
G Drive (400 firewire)
Will this work? If not where do I need to upgrade?

Thanks

Protools 7.3.1 is not compatible with Snow Leopard, in fact not even compatible with Leopard.

Your best bet is to upgrade to PT9.

Wow, thanks. Are we sure PT9 is compatible? I saw that PT8 was listed on the "compatibility" chart, but don't recall if 9 is there. Is PT9 too new?

Sorry for all the questions!

PT9 is compatible with Snow Leopard. In fact it's the only Mac OS that it's compatible with. And compatible with your Imac.

I downloaded PT9 to my iMac with 10.6.4 and I receive an error message to contact the developer and PT9 will NOT open. Other ideas?

Did you uninstall PT7.3 first?

Yes, do a complete uninstall of all Pro Tools and start fresh. Following the instructions often works
