VirtualMIDISynth 2.x - Release Candidate 2 released

So I uninstalled Winjammer Professional and re-installed it and I still find that if I use VirtualMIDISynth 2.0.0-rc2 then as soon as I hit OK in WinJammer's MIDI confiure dialog box everything locks up.

I will point out that I have had strange happenings in the past with older MIDI software, even some I have made myself.  For example, should such an application crash while holding open a MIDI port, the process UI would sometimes appear to close and disappear yet the process itself would hang on for 5-10 minutes, not showing any CPU or IO usage but still holding the MIDI port(s).  It would be unable to be killed by the operating system either.  Telling Task Manager to close it would have no effect.   It would finally complete its termination after a seemingly-random amount of time later.  It was always annoying when it would happen because there was no way around the strange delay.  Even shutting down the operating system did not help.

Maybe Process Explorer by Mark Russinovich (SysInternals) worths a try.
It sometimes give much more info then Task Manager and, also, has a feature to show active handles.

Will give it a try ASAP, but I 'can't make any promise ;)

...just making the final steps for first 2.0 stable release.
Actually there's no critical bug waiting, so I'm almost confident it can be released.

I also expect a new storm f (small) bugs coming in when all non-beta users will install it, but that's ok.

One of the things that needs attention is translation: a lot of languages are incomplete and some are unsupported.
Translation task is very easy and can be done completely on-line, no need to download/install softwares and send/receive files...

Please have a look here and, if you think you can help, please contact me.

I intend to try the demo version soon but I haven't had a chance yet.

Let me try that again, without missing out words :-)

It seems the same as the full version in that, for me, you can't click OK on the MIDI configuration dialogue with VirtualMIDISynth 2rc2 installed without it freezing up.

Maybe I can manage to try the two together on another PC soon.

I don't remember ever being able to change the MIDI device in FF/Chrome, how do you do that? The MIDI selection is supposed to be automatic in the browser, and it relies on your MIDI system settings (through CoolSoft MIDI Mapper for example).
