PT 5.3.1 will not load drivers - HELP!

[lexluth]

My PT 5.3.1 has been running fine up until this evening. When I try to launch Pro Tools, I get an INITIALIZATION ERROR. It says "This software requires installation of certain device drivers and a reboot before using. Please reboot or re-install the software."

I've rebooted several times, ran PT setup and chose "repair" option, and I've even un-installed and re-installed the software, but cannot get past this error message.

Digi Wavedriver is working O.K.

I'm running a P4 2.53 @ 533MHZ FSB, 1.0 GB Corsair 2700 RAM, ASUS P4PE BP Motherboard, Win XP, Antec TruePower 430W power supply, (2) WD 80GB HD's with 8MB cache on a Promise 133 TX2 IDE controller card. I also have an ATI 8500LE video card and the on-board LAN & Sound disabled.

I have not installed any new software that may be conflicting with the Digi001.

Please Help.

Thanks in advance.

Wavedriver SCREWED my system. Try to uninstall the wavedriver and digi001 from the hardware devices then restart and install your software again. Fixed mine!

Good luck

I've got the same problem, but with PT 5.3.3 and Mbox.
Still doesen't work yet, if you want let me know how you solved it!
Tried almost everything (re-instelling PT and Windows Xp,updated drivers, prayed,...) nothing worked.

I've been unable to resolve the problem. I've un-installed WaveDriver, PT 5.3.1, my USB Keystation drivers, and removed their entries from the registry. Then, I did a fresh install of PT 5.3.1 when Window recognized the Digi001, and this time I did not re-install the WaveDriver. Still, same error. I am unable to lauch Pro Tools at all.

I don't understand, everything was working fine for the last 2 weeks or so.

I'm going to contact DigiDesign on Mon or Tues and see if I can get this resolved. Maybe there's a bug or something that 6.01 might fix. Who knows? I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

If I get a definitive answer, I'll be sure to post it here.

I was just having similar problems installing 5.3.1, and also my SBlive wouldn't work. What finally solved it was turning ON USB and Plug And Play in the BIOS setup. Don't ask me why, but it all works great now. I haven't tried Wavedriver since I got PTLE working, I'm afraid of it. I hope this helps.

USB and Plug and Pray are already on in the BIOS, but thanks for the input.
