You need to be a little more specific: what is the syntax of the error message? What 
brand/type of MIDI Interface are you using - USB or Serial or cheapo sound card? Wha 
OS are you using? Do you have the latest driver(s) installed?

Hhhmm, the average size of an AN1xbulk dump is 224 KB - there is no possible way 
you were able to dump 5 MB(!) worth of data from the AN1x to MIDI-Ox unless you 
repeatedly initiated bulk dumps from the AN1x to the same file on your PC. I think 
the data integrity of your bulk dump is suspect.
