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

Okay, I just got my XL-7 a week ago, I love it and you can't imagine 
how excited I was to find out that, just a week after it arrives I 
can upgrade it with features that I wouldn't have dreamed of ever 
getting.
So I'm a total newbie to working with the midi interface with my 
computer.
I've got it all hooked up, looks great, sending data back and forth, 
BUT, when I go to update the OS I get the message, 'Multiple messages 
need to be resolved' and the download fails.  So close yet so far.

Additionally, the XL-7 is not recognized as an independent MIDI 
device. The E-loader program is only recognizing my MIDI hardware 
address.  
Any help? Should I try the USB route? I thought I read you couldn't 
do an OS update with USB.

I'm so excited for the upgrade, please tell me there is a simple 
solution to resolving the multiple message issue.

Ever grateful,
