Re: [xl7] E-Loader not working after XP update?

2002-09-18 by Greg Oler

It is annoying, but technically the Midiman doesn't
support the XP driver officially. I asked my wife if
she has any more info on the XP SP issue. She is a
senior manager at Toshiba here is SoCal, in charge of
the Pre-installs and Hradware/Software testing for the
laptop division. Maybe some of her peeps may be able
to shine some light on the issue.
