- You shouldn't have had to copy your .drv files by hand. To install your
- Windows drivers, you would select "unlisted driver", then point to the
- ultrasnd\windows directory. The drivers should have been copied for you.
- If you installed the drivers differently, then try removing them and
- reinstalling them as I have described. Also, as the docs say, you
- must remove your old drivers via the control panel, reboot Windows,
- and then install the new drivers. You can't just install the new ones
- "over the old", as it were (though, technically, you will be). And since
- you didn't mention it, did you copy midimap.cfg from your ultrasnd\windows
- directory to windows\system?

- Good luck!
