Emu XL-7 & MP-7 User's Group

Albert,
I'm using the same computer with a USB MIDI interface. First off, make
sure your internet browser is not launched. Back ground tasks may cause
communication errors. If the download fails, re-boot your XL-7 (holding
enter, but you know that) and re select your MIDI device. Lastly, it
might be a good idea to turn your computer off, re-boot and do nothing
else before you launch E-Loader and download your OS. I have really good
success with E-loader and the few errors I get, the re-selecting of the
MIDI device does the trick . Make sure you have MIDI IN and OUT
connected correctly.

For All. Bottom line is, we want all of you to have the latest OS, we
put in on our web site as a convenience to you. If you are having
problems updating, please feel free to contact our service department
and will arrange for your OS to be updated the old fashion way (will
open her up and update her for you).
