Nope. Win7 support came with ProTools 8.0.3. The old MBox is only supported up to version 8.0.1.

The question was not "Can I use MBox1 with ProTools8 in Win7?"

Not everybody in the world wants to work with protools.
The MBox1 is an audiointerface like every other USB-Audiointerfaces
in the world.

so are you telling us someting useful, ie that there are Windows7 drivers for the MBox1, or that there aren't?

Its not class-compliant, AFAIK, so its not like every other class-compliant USB interface in the world, for a start.

Official Win 7 (64bit) beta support was introduced with 8.03 cs2 or something.

But I have PT 8.01 working under Win 7 32bit flawlessly (with an MBox 2 Mini).

The original MBox 1 will work up to PT 8.01, so there's a chance it will work in Win 7 32bit.

Hey Klever my windows is 64 bits, is there a chance?

My Mbox is far away from where I am living now, so I don;t wanna to ship it unless it works.

Thanks.

Win 7 64 bit "beta" support came with 8.03 with the 8.04 beta driver. And any version after 8.01 doesn't support the original MBox 1 anymore.
But I'm not sure if this "support" is only meant as "you can try, but won't get customer support from us" or "strictly not working".
I guess the latter.

Mbox 1 and Windows 7
