Roland tr-8 using multiple audio outs via USB in Cubase 7.5

I’m running Cubase Elements 7 on windows 8.1. I successfully uploaded the driver for my Roland TR8 and it shows active in my devices with no conflicts. However now I cant even get Cubase to boot up. It hangs and reads "Initializing: VST Plug-In Manager. Then nothing happens. When I try to restart my computer I get another Steinberg message that says “The instruction at 0x00000000 referenced memory at 0x00000000. The memory could not be written. Click OK to terminate.” HELP!!!
