Hi! A problem with SD. I haven't had this on Win98, now that I have XP the following problem occurs. When I start Sounddiver (with or without any sequencer in RAM) SD takes a very long time to start. It is displayed that it requests MIDI data from somewhere but my amt8 doesn't show any transfer. I can press ESC but that doesn't accellerate the whole thing. Furthermore, when SD finally shows my setup (only an SY85 and an UltraProteus) it takes another long time (about 45 seconds) when I doubleclick the Proteus and want to open the Memory Manager. SD obviously tries to request the Preset list (just the list, not the presets themselves). At least that's what it did under Win98. But now it takes another long time. However, there is MIDI transfer of some kind during that, but only seldom. The majority is many seconds of doing nothing. After all that I can edit the presets of my UltraProteus as always. All the hardware involved works fine with a sequencer, no timing problems etc. That's why I assume it must be a problem with SD. Can anyone help? MF
