Hello M.G.,

"When loading a large bank, you will need to modify your operating system's registry settings to alter the set memory limit. This can, however, alter your operating system's performance. Remember to make a copy of your system's registry settings before proceeding."<!-/quote-!><hr size=0></blockquote>I think this warning is a good clue that you might want not to venture into this.

Taking a step back from all of this, I overall have the impression that you have spent 10s of hours struggling with various problems, installing and uninstalling this and that, changing params here and there. Sometimes this kind of activity leads to success. A lot of times this kind of messing around with a system can just make the system worse and worse. I've seen this happen to so many systems. I used to do it to my own systems to the point that my system got so messed up that I finally have to clean up my own mess by reformatting the hard drive, re-installed Windows, and then re-installed everything else. I've done that about a half dozen times in my life-time. My daughter's boy friend does this every couple of weeks, for heaven knows what reasons other than that he just enjoys doing this sort of thing. I don't enjoy it. So, instead, I avoid as much as possible messing around with my system unless I really have a good reason to, and unless I know what I'm doing, and am prepared to back out my changes.

I suspect that your system might be "ill". I'm hesitant to recommend this, because it's so much work, but you might want to consider just starting all over. Save all of your data files (such as MidiNotate .not files!) Reformat your hard drive, and start all over with a clean system. It can do wonders.

Or get a new system, and transfer your data files over to it.

Cheers
