Hi, I just recently got a new motherboard and video card for my computer. I had to reinstall my Windows 7 Pro, and therefore all of my programs. Whenever I open a saved project in Protools 8 LE I get the BSOD mid-load.

I saw this similar thread:
http://www.sevenforums.com/crashes-...eeps-crashing-bsod-after-opening-project.html

and followed the instructions for getting the dump file. It's attached.

Any idea what is going wrong?

Thanks

The memory dump blames the dalwdm.sys driver (dated from 2008) which is a component of the Pro Tools program.
This website states that the program is compatible with 64 bit versions of Win7: Windows 7 Compatibility for Pro Tools: Drivers, Updates, Downloads

I would suggest uninstalling the program and reinstalling a fresh copy of the program. AFAIK, this version is no longer supported by the manufacturer - so you may have to get the download from one of the shareware sites on the web.
