live 8.01 max 5.06 rewire problem

max is not connecting to live as master. has anyone got this working?

system is quad core vista 64 laptop from hp - dv7 2040us. tried with either
live multiprocessor rewire switch on or off.

max error is

ad_rewire: unable to register rewire device Max, error 666
ad_rewire: please check ReWire installation and restart Max/MSP.

upgrading max to 5.07 caused the error message to stop. live now sees
max as an audio source. still playing, to make a test setup.

ad_rewire still not functioning with max 5.07 and ableton live 8.01.

ableton is master. input set to max, channels 1,2

ad_rewire gives message
ad_rewire: timeout waiting for audio to start

pressing audio setup button in dsp config gives error
ad_rewire: doesn't understand "setup"

system is vista sp1 quad 2mz hp dv7

ableton is using asio driver for firebox firewire audio from prosonus. this driver works correctly with ableton standalone.

ableton using mme/directx with max as rewire slave, puts audio from ableton to onboard audio. still no audio from max

max mme driver set output to onboard audio. plays tone via max, no ableton.

ok, I found a combination that works, at least.

using asio direct x drivers in ableton passes audio from
max to ableton.

no explanation, though, how to make the prosonus firebox work.

still no midi signal showing
