Re: Coolsoft MIDI Driver

That sounds awesome mate...Thank you for addressing the issue and giving attention to the matter....Love the program....I used to run all my sound and drum modules,hardware synths through MIDI and a mountain of 5 DIN PIN cables...This put a halt to all that...

Still no fix, sorry. The only workaround available is to change permissions to the registry key (as reported above).
I've found why newer Windows 10 versions have this new behavior, but fixing it could require a lot of time.

I'll work "full time" on it just after version 2.9.0 is closed.

PS, looks like I found it in special permissions. Is it enough to deny removing and storing values?

Yes, it was enough, the driver is still installed without any problems.

I'm still having issues...Not very computer savvy and not sure what to do on my end to fix it...I am using the latest version of windows 10

It should; if not, take note of the current permissions set, remove them all and add an Everyone: Read ACL only.
PS: I'm working on a fix to let the driver work on newer Windows versions.
    It could take a while, but I'm confident it will fix it.

Any progress at all on this fix?  Still having issues and while its fixable just constantly reinstalling the driver very frequently,it is a major pain in the booty...

I appreciate all your work and attention to this problem...It's a great resource and I'd love to continue using it..

Thx!!

Re: Coolsoft MIDI Driver
Add a new Deny Write permission for Everyone (deny rules should win over allow ones) and reboot.

How to do it? I can add only Deny Read or Deny Full access.
