    Hey there,

    i've searched threw this forum and didn't found any solution for my problem.

    I've installed

    Avid Pro Tools HD v12.5.0.395 WIN X64 READ NFO-AudioUTOPiA

    from Audioz. Before i made this i had the demo of pro tools installed. Ive uninstalled the original demo and installed the cracked version.

    When PT starts it says something like: ASIO Driver could not be load try to choose another.
    I cant even try to choose one because there is no menu for this or any option.

    When i plug in my apollo it is the same failure. When i use ASIO4ALL its also the same failure.

    Now i found here that i have to do a clean uninstall. Ive found every neccessary file and deleted after uninstalling with iobit. Cleaned my registry also.

    I will try to install it now again. Maybe it works.
    Can you please help me, if it doesnt work?

    try a fresh install. i would advice you to delete these paths:

    these two are invisible, so don't forget to activate seeing invisible/hidden folders!
    C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Avid
    C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Avid

    C:\Program Files\Avid
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Avid
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Avid
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Avid

    and this registry (hold windows + r and type "regedit" without ")
    Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Avid
    Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Avid
    Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Avid Technology
    Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Avid

    these are all for windows 10 but shouldnt be much different from those in windows 7

    deleting all those avid folder wouldn't that result in deleting all the plugins as well (especially this one should not be deleted if you use 64 bit windows: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Avid). I'm not a Pro Tools user myself but it don't sound like a good idea to delete all the plugins.

    By the way try out another DAW (Reaper, Studio One, Ableton) just to see if that asio error also is present there. Then there is a windows issue and not a DAW issue

    I also found this on another forum that had similar problems:
    Before you are cleaning all the Asio drivers you should unplug your audio interface. After you have cleaned up asio and Pro Tools do a sfc /scannow in command prompt (this will repair window system files). The turn off you computer completely then install asio4all or a dedicated asio driver for your interface, then after all this plug in your audio interface. Then install pro tools
