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

Hello, 

I got a new XL-7 (v. 1.31) today and it seems as though it is meeting 
exceeding my expectations---I'm having alot of fun w/ it.  

I am, however, having a bit of diffiulty w/ e-loader on my Mac:  I have 
installed the MRJ 2.2.5, E-loader 1.1.  But when I start-up e-loader, 
the E-mu E-loader screen comes up and then a short time later a dialog 
box saying "The Native MIDI System could not be initialed" appears.  E-
loader goes no further than that--it doesn't hang the computer--but 
there's not even a way to quit E-loader short of re-booting.  

I have the XL-7 communicating w/ my MIDI interface (MOTU MTP) and 
FreeMidi.  E-loader is just unhappy with something...anyone else have a 
similar experience?

Any hints are appreciated.

Thanks

Rob Michael
