Jim,

I used to run my Realtracks/Realdrums from an external USB and because I unplugged it and plugged it back in periodically, the settings weren't remembered. To overcome this, I plugged the USB drive into my computer and then used Windows Disk Management to set a permanent letter for the drive (I used P:). Then I always made sure that I plugged the external drive into the same USB slot. That worked for me. The computer definitely seems to treat an external drive that is assigned a specific drive letter differently than a drive that is randomly assigned a letter, even if the letter assigned is the same.

I hope this helps,
