Your post is very confusing, mate.

If you are using an MBox or an 003 (which is it?)... you aren't using Pro Tools HD. How are you using 10.6.2 or 10.6.5?

If you are attempting to use PTHD with an MBox or an 003... this will not work. Only Pro Tools LE, or Pro Tools 9.

I think that may be the problem - you should be installing Pro Tools LE.

Do a clean uninstall, then reinstall LE and you should be good to go.

Where did you get the Mbox from? You shouldn't need to buy PTLE, it's supposed to come with the Mbox.
