Hi,

I took my 10.5 external drive and hooked it up to my xp laptop and RealBand works fine.

So to answer your questions, I tried using Microsoft Midi mapper and my USB midi sport as outputs. I get a window saying my mircosoft GS Wavetable Synth is missing, but it was crashing before it was missing. I think the driver install update for the M-audio USB midi sport threw it out, maybe not, it was not missing a couple of days ago before I put the midisport in.

I'm not using Dxi/VST, I'm just trying to strip the drums off some midi files so I can get them into BIAB

I have Ver B, I'm not sure how to get the update but will look into it.

Thanks,
Gary
