I sent a bug report to the developer, Jan, last week and he's been busy updating with some new features. Testers needed!

I've been experiencing crashes on Win7, mainly when changing channels/presets or multisetups. Anybody else?  

An a side note - does anybody still use the USB connection on their Command Station, and if so, have you a working driver for Win7?

Great! I've been experiencing some random crashes recently on win XP,
but I've added new roms so I wanted to set it up corecltly first on
CS(cleaning usless presets, ordering paterns and setups etc.) before
tackling the problem. I'm gonna try it and check how it works.

I spent a lot of time testing earlier versions. Somewhere along the line, I started having lockup crashes of Prodatum on the same XP PC I had pervious success with. The problems you have might be related to Win7, but not necessarily.

For years I had problems with E-Mu usb drivers on XP, then somewhere around XPSP2 or SP3, they started working. I read somewhere that MS did something with usb enumeration that made the XP drivers work at long last. I believe I documented the issue in the group.

I know nothing about Win7, but don't expect E-Mu to release drivers for their legacy gear. However, don't give up--perhaps several years down the road there might be a Win7SP that solves the problem. It was years after I made the switch from Win98 to XP before the E-Mu drivers worked!
