Windows 7, Pro Tools LE 8.0 and Original MBox. Is it possible?
Is it possible to run Pro Tools LE 8.0 on a Windows 7 laptop with the original Mbox?
I have Pro Tools LE 8.0.3 running fine on my desktop PC. It has WinXP connected to 002. I recently purchased a new laptop with Windows 7 pre-installed and tried to connect my old Mbox but cant find the drivers USB for it. When i launch Pro Tools, it doesn't detect any digi hardware even though the mbox is connected. Ironically the mbox loads the drivers fine when I connect to my desktop machine running XP. Is there a way download the USB drivers for the original Mbox? If I manually try to install the drivers for my Mbox, the only drivers i find is for MBox 2. Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance |

So it should work. I have Pro Tools LE 8.0 installed on my laptop but for some reason i cant find the drivers for the mbox. Is it because Windows 7 is installed?

I am "running" PT 8.0.1 with an Mbox on a desktop with W7 64 bit, after significant fixes and troubleshooting....so it is possible. But not fun to get working.
And I say "running" as certain plugins will cause the HW buffer errors to go crazy. No problems getting the drivers up for it ok though. |

The original Mbox is EOSS as of Pro Tools 8.0.1. The Mbox will not work with Windows 7.

Re: running original mbox protools LE on windows 7
You MIGHT get it to work with Pro Tools 8 software($149) and the 8.0.1cs1 updates(which are the last to work with the old Mbox). Instead of paying $149 for the software(your old version will not work), you might sell the old Mbox and buy a newer Mini or Mbox 2(which will include the newer software and allow for using the latest and future updates). Keep in mind that 8.0.3 is having issues for many(but I don't know if its related to Windows7 or XP). Read over some of the threads related to that for more info.
