Howdy Mark,

I did the above experiment, and it indeed works.

Just a note on specifics of what I did.

1. I first uninstalled the original Pro and Player, but didn't delete the \Program files\midinotate directory.

2. Then, I installed Pro, then the Player into \Program files\test midinotate.

3. I ran Pro, and it took more time than usual to start up (about 9 seconds - it's usually instantaneous), and when I checked the midi configuration, all the devices and ports were listed the same as usual - even the GPO Studio devices. I thought those would only be detected initially if GPO were run simultaneously, or does MidiNotate pickup this info from the Windows system info? That's mostly just one of my "Curious Georgette" questions

4. Anyway, the rest of the test ran just fine, and I got the results as indicated.

ttfn,
Sherry
