Subject:MIDI and Windows XP Posted by: PaulJG Date:7/22/2002 6:50:02 AM I cannot find anywhere any help on the VMR for XP. The help Knowlege base etc, talks about 98, ME, 2000. I try to use them but XP told me not to do it because it may mess it up. Anyone know where I can find step by step instructions to get this thing to work? I would also need the XP vertion ofVMR for this. My e-mail is LaMerlot@hotmail.com I will be checking this knowlege base and my e-mail untill I can find a answer. Thanks PaulJG
