Hiya.. if you have a com-port yeah.. plug it in.. from your config it lookz like itz all registered. (coz u havit in device mngr) etc..

how are you testing it?

sometimez. there are settings in the bios for com ports 1,2,3 etc. where 3 and above are emulationz of 1 & 2.. you can try going into the bios and disabling any com ports not in use..

you may try a printer port.. as a last refuge.. these work as well..

i got an amt8 which is similar. running on xp sp2 via serial/com.. with cubsx/ableton etc.. works fine. you'll need to turn on your device before you intitialize the audio app.. otherwise it wont detect it...

! it shouldnt matter whether u have other midi ports or not. i have a lynx with midi and a gameport/midi serial cable.. i can use them all concurrently!
