Pro Tools M-Powered sampling rate problem

On Win XP and I'm starting to have doubts about that

I'm a PC kind of person and I love the fact that there are so many
(free) apps for Windows that Pro Tools has not. Freaky stuff.

Exactly.

Yesterday evening I was messing around again, and suddenly it opened a
48 kHz session! Creating a new session also offered 48 kHz, but NO
44.1... Only 48... :\

I found out that Pro Tools "detects" the current playback rate (which is
44.1 kHz by default). At the moment I started PT, I was playing a 48 kHz
wav with a simple player. PT seems to think that the current playback
rate is the ONLY possibility. Ok, I can live with this method, but
hey... $350 for something that is not working properly? Come on
Digidesign...

I'll wait for their answer.

No errors...

The drop down menu only offers 44.1 kHz...

I haven't found anything like this. I'll post a message there.

Thanks,
