Hi,

I have a windows xp pro sp3
Intel Penitum 4 CPU 3 GHz
3.01 GHz, 1.00 GB of RAM

I recently bought an ESI MIDI keyboard (ESI keycontrol 49+) and when I plug it in with a usb cable, it finds the hardware automatically but it doesn't work when I try fruity Loops or Reason 4 music software. The music software just doesn't detect it at all when I try and find MIDI devices and the keyboard doesn't make any sound. When I look up Device Manager it names it usb composite device.

Now I have another usb composite device but it works and its my Micorsoft wireless keyboard and mouse.

I am gathering that the two clash because they are both in the same location - 0 and they are both called usb compostie devices.

Is there a way to fix the problem so that my MIDI keyboard can be recognized in my music software? I've already installed and uninstalled software and tried everything under the sun with the MIDI keyboard. I also looked up Microsoft and they only had 'hot fixes' for sp1 and sp2. It should work on sp3 because we tested it on another computer

Help??
*Frustrated*
