Which demo did you run when you had the problem--PatchPro or Proteum?

If it was PatchPro Demo 1.0, first check your midi configuration:
(1) Select MIDI | Open. This opens the midi drivers window.
(2) Make sure the correct midi ports are selected for your output 
and input devices.
(3) Click OK.

Next, make sure your sysex ID is correct.
(4) Select Synth | Get configuration.
SYSEX ID should either be (a) 127 (all broadcast-assuming the 
computer is only connected to one e-mu on the selected midi port) or 
(b) whatever sysex id your e-mu is set at. (The default is 0; but 
you can check one of the midi menu settings on the e-mu.) Also, note 
the channel you are using. (The default is 1.)
(5) If you have not done so already, continue with the configuration 
setup by reading the roms in your e-mu. 
(6) Save the configuration when done, if you have not done this 
before.

Next, double check your configuration by getting a bank.
(7) Select Synth | Get bank.
(8) When the Preset Load window appears, try to load some presets.
-->SUGGESTION: bank: 0, Rom: User, Start Preset: 0, End Preset: 10
(8) Press start; monitor the progress bar.
Does the software load the presets? Or, do you get a timeout message?

Assuming you get the 10 (or more) presets, try to edit.
For this step, make sure you are looking at the e-mu in view preset 
mode (the third button between the main lcd display and the bpm 
display). You can monitor changes if you are on the same channel as 
set up in the software configuration--for example, C01A, if you left 
it as channel 1 and your midi in on the e-mu is routed to port A.

(9) Double click on one of the presets in the User Bank window.
Does the preset change on the e-mu (for example, 008^0)?  If so, 
continue:

(10) Select Preset | Layers 1 & 2
(11) In layer 1, click select (right below the rom instrument name).
Does the list of rom instruments appear? If so, continue:

(12) Select a different rom instrument; look at thedisplay on the e-
mu.
Does an asterisk (*) appear after the name of the preset?
If so, the editor should be working properly.  Press audition and 
listen for differentce when you change rom instruments.

If there are problems at any step along the way, your results can be 
used to try to diagnose the problem.

Hope this helps.

PS: I did these steps on my P2500 (OS2.0) with PatchPro Demo 1.0, 
not the paid version, to make sure they work.
