    What kind of hardware do you use? What's your soundcard?

    First thing you need to do is determine if the problem is a Pro Tools issue, or a Interface issue.
    Is the audio interface working for all other standalone devices ? (iTunes, or any other standalone Plugins ?)
    Did you try powering down the computer and interface, unplug all USB & FW connections and reconnect ?
    Did you install any other drivers recently ? You might try re-installing or updating the M-Audio driver for the interface.

    I assume you preformed a search for the error string 'pro tools is unable to reacquire hardware and must now exit', yes ?
    Was there a specific error code with the message ? (ie: -6008)

    some models of the m-boxes have crappy power, the connection lost can mean it lost power.

    for example, check the cons section on the left hand side of this review
    http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/feb07/articles/mbox2mini.htm

    "There seem to be some power management issues with the current firmware."

    Maybe check for a firmware update?
