Virtual MidiPorts - Error in System Device Manager

Hi,
had reinstalled MT.
Now i get errors from my device list in Windows Device Manager.
(W7 X64, SP1)

I reinstalled everything, turned virtual midi ports on/off inside MT.
Nothing helps!

Hi Wurlitzer. I'll pass this along to Florian. He is still on vacation but will be periodically checking email. He should be back in contact next week.

As per Florian's response:

Uninstall Bome MIDI Translator, and when you reinstall select Custom and check "Reinstall Virtual MIDI Ports"

Hi,

tried everything, but does not solve the problems.

ALright. I'll pass this on to Florian and have him get back to you once he's back from his vacation.

any news?

I have the same issues now.

Hi, I'm terribly sorry for this problem.
Worst is, I have no idea what could be wrong.

The bome ports should appear in "sound, video, and game controllers" category, and not in "other devices".

Additionally, checking the "reinstall virtual MIDI" in the MT installer should really remove all the Bome ports from the system and do a clean reinstall.

Now if that does not work, do the following:
- uninstall Midi Translator
- go to device manager, and remove/uninstall, one by one, all the Bome ports
- still in device manager, remove/uninstall the Bome Bus Driver under System Devices
(NB this does not relate to a bome branded bus on the streets, so no drivers or other persons will be put at risk by removing it)
- reboot
- if you like, manually remove all bome* files and folders in C:\Windows\System32\drivers and in C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository
then reboot again.
- cross your fingers and reinstall Midi Translator

Let me know how that goes.
Thanks,
Florian

Solved it by updating drivers from the driver repository of another computer

Thanks

Hi Tabsel,

now that is interesting, for the case that this happens again to a user: you mean you have manually copied the driver .sys files from another computer? Have you had an old driver version?

Thanks,
Florian

I have another computer where v1.7.2 runs smooth including virtual midi drivers.

I copied the driverstore/filerepository/amd..... Bome driver folder to a network share.

On the other computer with driver problems in device manager I updated drivers by pointing to the network share folder.
