ASIO Driver won't install on Windows XP x64 Edition

[globex]

I have recently upgraded to a new Intel Quad core computer running Windows XP x64 Edition (running SP2). I have been trying to install my MBox on it (which was previously running on an Intel Pentium 4, Windows XP SP2 machine), but I can't get the driver to install.

1. I have followed the instructions in the "Getting Started with MBox 2" manual for Windows Installation. All the necessary steps have been taken before install.

2. I inserted the Pro Tools LE 6.8.1 CD which came with my MBox. During the installation process, during the installation of the ASIO Driver, I got an error message : "Unknown error -536870347". I clicked "Ok", and the rest of the installation finished without problems.

3. I rebooted the computer. As Windows was loading, the MBox's lights did not turn on, or flicker and after I logged into Windows I got a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) and the computer rebooted.

4. As directed in the manual. I unplugged the MBox from the USB. Rebooted. Windows now loaded fine. And it told me I had an error report:

"BCCode : 1000007e BCP1 : FFFFFFFFC0000005 BCP2 : FFFFFADF93A950DC
BCP3 : FFFFFADF9298F7E0 BCP4 : FFFFFADF9298F1F0 OSVer : 5_2_3790
SP : 2_0 Product : 256_1"

The details said:

"The following files will be included in this error report:

C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\WERc7ae.dir00\M ini081407-02.dmp
C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\WERc7ae.dir00\s ysdata.xml"

Then, it opened an internet page which said:

"You received this message because a device driver installed on your computer caused the Windows operating system to stop unexpectedly. This type of error is referred to as a "stop error." A stop error requires you to restart your computer."

5. I tried to plug in the MBox again, while already logged into Windows. The Hardware Wizard came up. I tried to run it, but it didn't find any available software.

6. When I reboot Windows with the MBox plugged in, I keep crashing and getting the same error.

Troubleshooting already attempted:

1. I have tried using the Hardware Wizard. It doesn't find any software.

2. I downloaded "Pro Tools LE 7 Setup" from the Digidesign website, but when I run it, it says "Installation and Operation of Pro Tools(R)LE requires Windows XP with SP2. This is very strange because I am already running Windows XP x64 Edition with SP2.

3. I downloaded the "Digidesign ASIO Driver 6.1.1" from the Digidesign website, but when the installer finishes, I get the same error as I did in the Pro Tools LE install : "Unknown error -536870347".

4. I downloaded the "Digidesign Audio Drivers 7.0" from the Digidesign website, but when I run the installer I get the this error message: "String WINDOWS_VERSION_WARNING was not found in string table." and the installed quits.

Please tell me what I should do. The Digidesign website says that it supports Windows XP x64 Edition. So why won't my system install the driver?

Protools is not supported on Windows XP 64-bit OS (as far as I read, it doesn't work at all). Go back to 32-bit for now. Digidesign is working on a Vista compatible version but we're not sure it will be the 64-bit version. I'm assuming this applies to the ASIO driver too.

The digidesign ASIO drivers are 32 bit, so you have to install them twice to run on a 64 bit OS.

I'm kidding of course. Protools don't work on any 64 bit windows OS.

The digidesign ASIO drivers are 32 bit, so you have to install them twice to run on a 64 bit OS.

...and since he's got a Quad...make that 4 times.
