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

Oh certainly, Aaron, I read the text file!
Thanx for answering.
This is exactly what I did:

1 - reboot XL-7/MP-7/P2500 holding down Home/Enter
2 - if you already have 1.17, skip to step 6
3 - using E-loader, download commandprep10.dli
4 - when asked to "Replace bootloader?" press enter
5 - when instructed, reboot XL-7/MP-7/P2500, again holding down 
Home/Enter
6 - using E-loader, download command118.dli
7 - follow prompts

There is a html-textfile on your website, that explains the updating 
process further: after the mp-7 received the midifile 
commandprep10.dli (which worked fine) I should have pressed the enter-
button of the mp-7 (checksome test etc.) I forgot that step which is 
not mentioned above. So the mp-7 stayed with the 1.01 version, 
showing 1.01 and straight behind 1.0x, I believe. When I tried to 
download command118.dli after that I receive an error  message on my 
computer saing: the file type doesnt match the requested file (or 
similar to this). nor ca I repeat step one with commandprep10.dli , 
same error. Now I am stuck and can´t update. How do I solve it?
