The lights, 1 -> 2 -> 3 tells me that the MF is functioning correctly, and that Windows is telling the MF that it's recognized it and installed the drivers.

Your problem lies in your Windows install not reporting the Midifighter as an active MIDI device. Is the Midifighter disabled? Do you get the same results from different USB ports? You say a different machine reported it correctly. I'm a bit lost now. My one Windows ninja trick didn't unjam it for you and your Midifighter seems to be functioning correctly.

Dare I say it.... a windows reinstall?

I read when searching for USBaudio.sys yesterday that Logitech Web Cams can have an effect on that driver so I just tried uninstalling that software and drivers via Add/Remove Programs and then doing another clean sweep of my registry.

Reboot and now explorer crashes on load and all I can see is my wallpaper.
Crtrl+Shift+Esc gives me Task Manager but reloading explorer doesn't bring up my Start Menu.

So now I'm trying to recover via windows CD .... It's going to be a long night.

Restored ... I'll keep trying different things for the MF and post back if I can get it to work.

@Fatlimey Thanks for your speedy responses and for thinking of different things to try!

DONE IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!


It was the Logitec drivers.
- used restore points to get to a clean registry before trying to plug in MF
- Add/Removed programs to removed Logitech Software and Driver (removed one at a time with a restart in between)
- then plugged in MIDI FIGHTER AND IT WORKS !!!!

@Fatlimey - do you think it's worth writing a "How To Install Midi Fighter On A PC" sticky? I can draft something and send it over if you'd like - I think there's some valuable info here !!!




Deckalised is now on the go !!!!

P.S. @Fatlimey - is there anyway I can buy you a beer to say thanks?

The best thing you can do is to use it well, demonstrate it to anyone who asks and show other people why they might want to buy their own Midifighter. My bonus comes from how many we sell, and happy owners are the best salesmen.

So, share the love and it'll come back to me eventually.

I will certainly be shouting it's praises. The Deckalized mapping is insane - taking midi controlling much further than I would have thought of.

I want to write a guide on installing it safely on a PC, I'll post it up when I'm done and hopefully should remove some people's questions and issues installing. PC's are not the most user friendly at the best of times!
