I'm using a PC, Pentium III, 500 Mhz, 64mb RAM, Windows 98, Creative PCI 128 soundcard, PowerTracks Pro and Lime notations programs. MIDI output is to a Yamaha PSR 510 keyboard.
Problem: When I play a MIDI file from the Internet, it wreaks havoc with the rest of my MIDI functioning. Playing MIDI from my notation program or sequencer or from Windows Media Player becomes intermittent. Or MIDI won't even play at all. Or some MIDI files will play while others won't. Or only some of the MIDI will play while others won't. The PC seems to receive MIDI fine, but MIDI output to the keyboard goes haywire.
I've solved this the first time by uninstalling my Creative soundcard drivers and then reinstalling. The second time I had to uninstall all soundcard software and then reinstall. After that, MIDI output was still not fully functional, but then, suddenly, everything worked fine. I'm not sure if it was something I did. MIDI wasn't playing, then suddenly, it was playing. All the while, PowerTracks would play its own MIDI files fine but would not play the MIDI files I had created.
Help me.
