I see the message, "Abort AVR Init" while Pro Tools is launching and Create New Avid Movie Track is grayed out after launching Pro Tools 6.x on WinXP or OSX.

Pro Tools is not seeing the Meridien hardware. Try the following:
1. Power cycle the Meridien BOB
2. Reseat Meridien cable at both ends
3. Reseat the Meridien PCI card
4. Swap the slot order of the Meridien PCI card and ATTO host bus adapter (fibre or SCSI).
5. Trash preferences
6. Repair disk permissions on the boot drive (OSX only)
7. On WinXP, trash volume.ddb files for all mounted Unity MediaNet volumes. Note - these live on the boot drive. Try unmounting some Unity volumes.
8. Make sure that Programs are prioritized above Backgournd Services & System Cache in Mycomputer -> properties -> advanced -> performance -> settings - > advanced.
9. Try unmounting all mounted SCSI, Firewire, and ATA drives.

Also, confirm that AVoption|XL is authorized via iLok and that the iLok is connected and being seen by Apple System Profiler.
