Type your problem for a solution...Mbox Pro Driver will not install from the driver CD

I purchased the Pro Tools + Mbox Pro kit. I was able to successfully install the system with my Apple IMac. However, I have not had the same success installing the drivers for my Mbox Pro on my Dell Precision M90 laptop. Every time I try to install the fire wire driver (Avid Mbox Pro ), the windows installer stops the installation with the message “The Administrator has set policies to prevent this installation.” I am the administrator. I have tried downloading the file for PCs from the Avid website and still get the same results. If I attempt to load the other drivers on the disc (Mbox 2 Pro Driver Setup.exe), there is no problem. I suspect the driver provided is designed for Apple only. Please investigate. Any help would be appreciated.

SOURCE: Can Avid Xpress Pro be installed on windows vista?

According to the manufacturer's spec, version 5.8 is not supported for Vista. It also requires a FireWire port ( 1394). The application key (dongle) is shipped in the box for legally obtained (first-buyer) software. If you didn't get the dongle, you will need to contact the manufacturer.
http://www.avid.com/products/1906.htm

The software will not work without the key. (Personally, I avoid such software since dongles get lost or damaged.)

I wish that I could be of more help.

OK; after giving up on lousy tech support I got it working after doing the following (not sure if all required, but this is what I did)
1. Gave admin rights to C:\Program Files (x86)\PFU
2. Updated to latest ScanSnap Manager V5.0 L21
3, Copied C:\Users\<admin acct>\AppData\Roaming\PFU directory to C:\Users\All Users

Good luck...

SOURCE: why am i getting post distortion on my pro tools mbox 3

Perhaps check your settings. I had to change the number of porocessors to four (from single or one) and select minimize I/O latency to get the problem solved.

Installed pro tools 8 on macbook pro. when i try to open pro tools it says the hardware cannot be found. mbox2 is connected but the usb light is not on.

I had this problem as well... If this is a 2011 macbook pro you have os 10.6.7 which is not supported by avid at this time. We actually need to down grade to 10.6.6. You installation cd with your macbook pro is 10.6.6, so you'll need to install that, then go to the avid website and download pro tool le 8.0.5. Everything should work fine just don't upgrade to 10.6.7 until it has been approved by avid. If you need detailed steps look at the avid forum for pro tools. Step to uninstalling and installing the os can be found on youtube.com... Do not have your mbox plugged in when you install pro tools. I hope this helps!!!

Can't get my mini mbox usb working for protools 8 after inserting

You were supposed to install the software first (which holds the drivers for the hardware) before you plugged in the MBox. I had the same problem, but I had to use drastic measures and reinstall my OS.

MBox 1 Compatibility with new Macbook Pro Unibody and OSX 10.5.6?

unfortunately any pro tools application below version 7.4.2 is not compatible with leopard and I don't think you can use mbox 1 with the universal mac I may be wrong but I wanna say I tried a while back and even garageband wouldn't find it anymore but you can check for sure by going to the applications folder then open the utilities folder in there is an application called "Audio Midi Setup" and you can select the mbox in there if you see it but if not there is no patch or driver that I know of to get it working unless you upgrade pro tools which if you do upgrade I suggest getting mbox 2 and getting LE with it

I cant hear windows

Your Windows System Sounds and sounds from other programs are output from the computers preinstalled soundcard. When you use a professional sound card i.e Mbox (ASIO) you can search google for an ASIO player or plugins for Real Player (or WinAmp or Windows Media Player etc) that allow you to use as the output device.
