Default Digi 003 "Pro tools hardware is not installed or is being used by another program"

I purchased a used Digi 003, installed software a keep getting the same error "Pro tools hardware is not installed or is being used by another program"when i try to launch Pro Tools. Digi 003 display reads " 003 Offline" I uninstalled and installed software aprox. 10 times and same thing over and over.

I am using a Macbook Pro unibody (Mac os x 10.5.8)
Pro Tools version 7.3

You need Pro Tools 7.4.2 or higher for compatibility with Leopard and Intel Macs.

You should do a clean uninstall of 7.3, then download and install 7.4.2 (assuming you're eligible). Otherwise you will have to purchase an upgrade.
