MIDI problems resolved

eMedia was kind enough to send the current version of "Piano for Dummies" at
no charge (once I surrendered the version I already owned). This fixed the
problems. The program can now play the keyboard.
The keyboard can also be set to play through the computer, but there's a
noticeable delay (which you're warned about). The MIDI interface must present
an incredible amount of overhead.
Am I unreasonable in saying that MIDI doesn't always work the way you think it
"ought" to? This is an issue that most documentation (on any subject)
generally fails to address.
Again, thanks to those who responded to my initial request for help.
I'm not sure that your promblems had anything to do with MIDI. I think
they arose from a praticular combo of OS and driver(s) and app version,
etc.

When Windows users complain about a lack of "intuitiveness" in anything
else, I chuckle.
MIDI works exactly as you'd expect when you know enough to set up a
system. Each system might require something pretty specfic, as if your
case.
