You are bound to have problems if you have two MIDI programs open at the
same time trying to access the same ports. You just can't do that in
Windows, unless you use Hubi's Loopback or some other special software. Is
that what you are doing?

Does E-Loader work reliably for you when don't have any other MIDI programs
running?
