MBOX 2PRO opinion/question (digidesing suppt ans )
HI! My MBOX 2 PRO was installed and running on windows xp media center(which I realized after it stopped working that its not supported). I havent gotten it to work eversince, my computer basic specs are, 80gb, 1gb ram at 533mhz,Intel Pentium 4 Processor 521 (2.80GHz) and 1MB cache. Now my question is, if I buy a new computer CPU that will not be connected to the internet at ALL, would I have any problems re-installing the protools software/ ignition pack? I plan to use that CPU only to record my music. The new CPU's specs are; Windows XP Home Edition, Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 HT Technology enabled 3.2GHz, 2GB DDR2-533MHz SDRAM (2x1024), 80GB 7200 rpm SATA Hard Drive, 2 USB, 1 FireWire IEEE 1394, audio ports, 3.5 in. 1.44MB Floppy Drive and 256MB NVIDIA GeForce 7500LE. Will that get my MBOX 2 PRO working properly again? or not. Also are the new CPU specs good enough or not? (considering that it will not be connected to the internet).
thanx for any replies!!! |

hi,
an internet connection is not required to install either Protools or the drivers for your Mbox2 Pro. as you've discovered, XP Media Center is a hit or miss proposition .. works for some .. and not for others. since your new PC is using Home Edition . i don't think you'll have the same problems. i'm using my Mbox2 Pro on XP .. and have had no problems at all. best wishes on your new machine, jeff ps: i usually put the installs and drivers onto a USB stick and take it to the DAW system and install them there. |
