Yeah, with the information you provided (NONE) we cant help much. BTW, that's primarily a PRO TOOLS INTERFACE and wasn't intended to be a general purpose soundcard.

I can't select mbox 2 in the Sound Playback default device lists (Sounds and Audio Devices Control Panel), because no Digidesign audio interface in the list.

StandaloneWaveDriver (http://download.digidesign.com/suppo...WaveDriver.zip) does not working. when i try to install it, appears error "the driver installer could not find the hardware". But mbox is turned on and USB LED is lighting!

May be this is USB or power supply problem?

In XP you need the MME helper to play non-PT audio thru your PT interface. (Just did a search for it and was unable to find it as easily as before they "improved" the website...)
but since it's free, you can get it here:
http://www.southwestrecording.com/do...E%20Helper.exe
Note that this is SINGLE client, so only one program can access it at a time. And it will NOT work with I-tunes. The majority of us are using our on-board sound cards for all the incidental audio and just using the PT interface as a PT interface, NOT as a "soundcard."
You also are going to need a separate dedicated audio hard drive. I only saw your system drive listed in your Sandra. That USB drive is not supported and won't work.

Digidesign MME helper does not solve the problem. It is not important, whether there is an application in the list or not, it works only with motherboard soundcard.

Did you actually "opt in" all the programs you want to access your M-box? And remember, only ONE PROGRAM AT A TIME will work.
