Casio Midi Driver Install on E310 Problem
I am trying to install a Casio piano MIDI driver on a E310 running Windows XP Home Edition. It won't recogninze the USB connection and thus won't install the driver from the CD. If I try it on my D620 Latitude running XP professional it works fine.
Is the problem that XP Home Edtion is preventing the install or that there is a need for a different sound card in the E310 to make it work?
Any suggestions appreciated
Thanks

Yes, the MIDI driver is for WinXP.There is not a MIDI port on the computer. The cable used to connect the Casio piano to the Dell E310 PC is a MIDI-USB cable.I am guessing that I need a MIDI/Game Port adapter card. Agree?Thanks-250

No. If you have the MIDI/USB cable that is all you need. The game port/MIDI port is old technology, a thing of the past - went the way of Serial and parallel ports on new PC's.Is the driver for a game port/MIDI port instead of USB? That may be the problem and you need to get a USB port driver.
