Problem in pops and clicks with Pro Tools

Hello Experts! I have Mac PC with Snow Leopard 10.5.8 and I also SpeakerPhone Plug-in into it. But lately, I started having issues with this application as it is making some pops and click. I’m not sure if the issue is because of my outdated AVID Pro Tools 8.01 but I still upgrade it to the latest version in any case that this is the root cause of the error. But after that, whenever I started to run Pro Tools, I am getting an error as stated below.
When this error showed up, it was leaving me no choice but to force-closed the Pro Tools. I installed Pro Tools Prefs & Database Helper hoping that I can fix this but I failed. How can I make Pro Tools work again?
Please help me.
