Stef,
Thanks. Yes, I did a folder copy to my HD first but tried opening
it both ways (from the HD and from the CD drive)to no avail. The
write protection on my Win 98 Explorer doesn't exist; there's no tab
for it when I right click (as it does on my business WinNT Explorer).
I'm begining to think this is one of those quirks that other users
have been warning about.
By all accounts I'm still a MIDI novice. I was getting an education
on the first hook-up I had with my older pc. Too bad it bit the dust.
If all else fails, does anyone recommend a suitable program that's
relatively idiot proof and still DW8000 compatible? When you think
of it - wow, that's asking alot: relatively new software to run 20+
year old hardware...but, you know where I'm coming from.
