You presumably know that (for the GUS) drums must be played on
channel 10, and that the note 'pitch' is what selects the
instrument for drums. The answer is that you do not want any
'program change' events on channel 10, so ensure that the
Patch (or whatever it says) column for you drums track in
Cakewalk's track list is set to 'none' (otherwise it puts in
an extra program change at the start of the track), and that there
are no other 'program change' events listed for channel 10 (look
in event list view).
Any program changes on channel 10 will result in CakeWalk trying
to cache a melodic patch for use on channel 10. The Windows GUS
driver says "can't", and CakeWalk rather unintelligently assumes
that this means you are out of memory. Furthermore, I believe that
it then makes no attempt to cache the drum patches (... well, he's
out of memory - there's no point trying).

Subject: ooh aah synth voices
The aaah choir (voice?) of the Crystal clear sample set doesn't sound
too well I think, so I tried the oooh choir, and it sounded worse. As
a matter of fact, it didn't faintly resemble the human voice. Then I
tried the synth voice (choir? I don't remember it's exact name now) and
geee! sounds like an oooh! Does anyone know wether the ooh and the synth
voice have been interchanged?

By the way everyone, the latest version of the Piano program, PIANO21 works
with Power Chords! Thanks Gregor!
