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

I have been tring to get this damn eloader to work all day today...  
I have downloaded eloader 1.1 and downloaded xl7 version 2.0 OS.  I 
got the midi connection correct because I got patch data downloaded 
onto my computer so I know, MIDI hookup is right.  

What happened is that I had both versions 1.0 and 1.1 of the elaoder 
on the computer at the same time and it was not working.  I took both 
of them off and started over again by installing eloader 1.1 on the 
computer.  This helped and got me a little farther to the point that 
I had "select Downloadable OS file" and "Select MIDI Device" 
and "Download OS file to target" all in black, I got the XL7 in ready 
to recieve OS by pressing "power" and "enter" and gettting the 
message - "searching for OS".  So I am ready to rock!  And then, "It 
says, you have chosen to update an EMU XL7, are you sure you want to 
download the new OS to this device?"

I then press Download and this is what I get:
  A big red hand and the message "Download FAILED"

This is really frustraing.  I read the readme notes and it talked 
about the USB drivers and to double check to make sure that the 
drivers for the xl7 was installed.  I checked and I couldnt see them 
listed in the Device Manager.  But, I watched the drivers getting 
loaded and saw Windows identify and get the drivers for it.

I have spent all day today trying to make it work....
