Hi John, -Did you perform a full computer virus scan? I would suggest you to perform a full computer virus scan using Windows Defender Offline as it can help remove hard to find malicious and potentially unwanted programs using definitions that recognize threats. Definitions are files that provide an encyclopedia of potential software threats.
Armed with definition files, Windows Defender Offline can detect malicious and potentially unwanted software, and then notify you of the risks. Once the scan is done, check the status with GS Wavetable. What is Windows Defender Offline?: Note: There could be a loss of data while performing a scan using Windows Defender Offline to eliminate virus if any.
Apr 17, 2014 Windows 7 is a complete failure as a performing and recording musician I find the fact that it does not have a MIDI mapper completely ridiculous.
Reply with the status of the issue and we will be glad to offer our assistance. To begin with, it is a 'problem' and not [just] an [associated] 'issue'. In my awareness, Microsoft, back around '96, allegedly started this misuse of 'issue' when 'problem' is required.
I believe it goes back even further to when Microsoft fixed the problems with the Office suite after telling WordPerfect it would fix the Windows 95 problems that were preventing WP 6.0 from running properly after MS had fixed the competing Office's/WIN 4.0 problems (4.0 = 95). WordPerfect was struggling to move from the very commercially successful WP 5.x, which ran on DOS, to the very unsuccessful 6.x versions. 6.0 would not run because of too many bugs on Windows 95 which MS was reluctant and slow to fix for WordPerfect's, an MS competitor, benefit. In effect, what Microsoft did was tell WordPerfect, '6.0 not running on WIN 4.0--AKA Windows 95--is your issue, something we will discuss. Download Crack Loopcad Keygen. But, it's not our problem and we won't fix it until we want to, when we've gotten a competitive advantage.'
Sadly, the US Justice Department failed to fix that largest problem--Microsoft competing unfairly--in the anti-trust law-suit. Now, consumers, like me, are forced to deal with a monopolistic behemoth that is irresponsible and--in terms of expeditious-effectiveness--unresponsive. The larger problem is that Microsoft has failed, with Windows 7 and presumably with Windows 8, to: (a) provide adequate support for other programs (other than Windows Media Player) ability to play MIDI files equally well as they did in prior versions of Windows, and (b) Microsoft, all too often, offers some relatively useless 'support' like, 'Did you run a virus-scanner?' (Now, in MS's defense, I should have stated above that a virus-scanner told me that the computer had a virus, that the virus had been removed, etc.).
The smaller problem is--to begin with, to start to identify the issues that need to be discussed along the way to a problem-solution--that the Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth is not working for all programs. For example, it works fine (after some of my own 'repair-work' on top of that performed by ASC U6, repeatedly running Microsoft 'FixIt' to uninstall affected programs--see parenthetical comments below, at end) with Windows Media Player 12.0.7601.17514, which plays *.MID (MIDI) files correctly. MuseScore Ver 1.3 Revision 5702 will also play *.MID files correctly, with its output mapped to ' Microsoft Sound Mapper', when using MME; MSM uses--as far as I know--MS GS WS to play MIDI files. NoteWorthy Composer (and NoteWorthy Player)--my primary program for practicing drumming and for composing and arranging--using Microsoft MIDI Mapper (MS GS WS does not appear as an option) for output, will not play MIDI files. MMM, as far as I know, uses MS GS WS. I don't know whether ' Microsoft Sound Mapper' is a 'misspelling' of '. The Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth still appears to still be on the computer (Dell Studio XPS 9100, 18 GB RAM, 0.45 TB internal RAID drive with 3 TB external RAID drive, used for live recording, mixing, and production of audio (and occasionally video) recordings).
For example, when the audio output device is set to the M-Audio Delta Audiophile 2496 (my primary, 'Good!' , sound-card, capable of 96 kHz, 24-bit recording), Sonar Home Studio 6.0 shows 'Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth' as an available output for MIDI files, but won't play through it. (When I change to the HDMI/Sony TV as output device, the MS GS WS disappears as an output in SHS 6.). Prior to submitting the above, and based on the info from the scan, I scanned the computer with Advanced System Care Ultimate 6 which found, under 'Items Detected:' 'C: Program Files Harman pro Audio architect 1.00.0 Explorer.dll', with a partial 'Threat Type' description of 'Gen:Heur,M.' I didn't expand the ASC U6 window before capturing the screen, thus, I cut everything off after the 'M'.
But, as I recall, it's a 'Gen'eral, 'Heur'istic (self-learning) malware. (The Explorer.dll malware was 1 of 3 'Items', all of which were duplicated on a backup drive, all of which ASC U6 reported as being 'fixed'. So--as it was duplicated on the backup drive, it was actually 2 of 6 items, all of which ASC reported as fixed later. 2 of which were all old--15-20 years old, 'dead' (unused) *.exe-s which prior scans using everything from McAfee to Norton to AVG to ASC didn't find previously, 2 were IDed as 'C: Windows Softwaredistribution Download 2e92169c8c3dcce.'
And 'E: 9100Backup Memeo C_ Program files Harman p.' --both were cut-off at the ellipsis when I 'copied' the ASC U6 window for forwarding to Sweetwater.com.
Furthermore, restoring the registry from backup wasn't possible as the system had backed up too many times and no good registry was available. Nor was restoring from restore points possible (with which I've only, very rarely had any 'luck') as--on the advice of Sweetwater.com, to optimize the performance of Pro Tools (first MP8, now 10.3.6 and 64-bit 11.0), I've disabled (and won't reenable, due to the past lack of success) restore points. I've got an old system-image on DVD--made when the computer was new and only had factory-installed software on it, but, I hesitate using it as I'd have to reinstall everything that I've since installed (which is essentially what I'm having to do anyway, see parenthetic paragraph below). ( This is just FYI--please don't address this additional, greater problem here.
The Harman Pro/Audio Architect embedded malware--I seem to remember ASC U6 describing it as a 'virus', but, I may be mistaken--also 'broke' most of the major program-/suite-installations on my computer, apparently by corrupting the Windows Registry. Rather than those programs/suites starting normally as they did in the past, MS Win7 would pop up an error window stating that the program wasn't installed properly because installation files couldn't be found, wanting me to locate them on the drive. I'm still in the midst of what will probably be a 6-month process to 'fix' the computer--it'll never be the same--by uninstalling, using FixIt or Advanced System Care Uninstall--or both as has been necessary on occasion, and reinstalling all the affected programs/software suites, including, but not limited to, Microsoft Office 2010 (home/3-pk version), Alibre Design, Pro Tools 10 and 11, several Visual Studio Express 2012 components, and many other programs used on a daily to weekly basis. Those programs that rarely get used, those that get used once a month or so, I have yet to even test to see if they'll start.
The partially fixed computer still has a problem whereby installations stop, popping up an error window which states that a missing installation file needs to be found--often 'VCred.exe' or some such--but, the path below the textual message points directly at the missing file and I simply have to open the file dialog, and click OK to get the installation to proceed normally.). To (Whomever: My apologies, Hotmail--as it so often does--put your e-mail in my deleted folder rather than my junk-mail folder and then failed to move it to the inbox.
Fortunately, I was able to 'skim' it before Hotmail lost it. (Hotmail--as it so often does malfunction--regularly puts e-mail from senders in my contact list into my deleted folder, instead of my inbox--but those are a separate set of associated issues/problems that need to be addressed elsewhere)): Yes. I ran a virus scan. Actually, I ran three, one--before I wrote the original request for help--using Advanced SystemCare Ultimate, then two (quick and full) with Windows Defender Online, afterward.
All three scans were negative (all AVG scans, since the discovery of the Harman-/Audio Architect-installation of that now removed malware, have been negative). That doesn't necessarily mean that I don't have malware on the computer; I have something that occasionally keeps popping up a browser window, when I hit the space bar and other keys accidently/simultaneously, trying to get me to reinstall a media player that isn't installed and won't be installed.
(I have yet to go through all the browsers and disable and uninstall all add-ons to see if that solves that particular set of associated issues and problems. It appears that the various agencies, ioBit, AVG, Microsoft are yet unaware of that particular problem and associated issues.) The good news is that I have moved NoteWorthy Composer over to Windows 8 (actually, WIN 7.1 for those interested in such things) where it runs fine, where Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth, along with Microsoft MIDI Mapper and Delta Ap MIDI are all shown as options for playing MIDI. Thus, since all my NWC 'practice' files (to which I play along with, using a pair of drumsticks and a practice pad) are on a server (tho', I could read them off the Windows 7 'drive' from Windows 8, if I desired), I can now practice again (tho', I need a--free--spreadsheet for Windows 8 to record my practice as my Office 2010 suite is on the Windows 7 SP 1 installation/'drive'). The bad news (which I'm hoping you'll immediately rectify) is that Microsoft has yet to tell me: • The name of the Windows 7.0 *.dll which implements the Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth functions. • The normal location of that *.dll. • How to reinstall that *.dll if it appears to be missing or corrupted (both unlikely or the other programs probably would not be capable of using the MS GS WS). • The 'usual' type and content of registry entries that programs use to point to the MS GS WS as their default MIDI player.
• Anything else I need to know, in order to: • REINSTALL THE MICROSOFT GS WAVETABLE SYNTH, • and clean up my registry. (The fact that other programs on the Win 7 SP1 installation/drive can see and use the MS GS WS implies that cleaning/fixing the NWC registry entrees--where reinstalling MS GS WS might not clean/fix those entrees--where uninstalling and reinstalling NWC hasn't fixed those entrees--is necessary.) Thank you. Sincerely, John E. I'm with you, No Freaking consideration that many, many people use their product not as a fetish device for getting Uncle Fudlo's E-mail and pictures of the Kids at the Cannibal Soccerfest in whatever, but as a device for actual WORK in the Media Arts, MIDI, Just celebrated it's like 40th anniversary, and I keep 'Losing ' my MIDI drivers and to top it off, theres no one to even acknowledge one of the most thorough most stable, and frankly when working, useful and iron solid pieces of code that's why it's still used.

Even Creative, which used to be a decent company IMO, I paid extra for a new sound card when I decided to get new desktop, 64 bit, windows 7 12 gb ram ssd/hdd, all the mod cons, with room, because the way the trend seems to be is these little masturbatory phlobletputers, which a far too overpriced, and etc. Windows folks.MIDI.It's necessary it should be simple to have a patch. You actually do have a bug here.I'm not going to use Windows 8, I care not one bit for touch, I hate the interface, Windows 7 is a good platform that could be better, IF YOU ACTUALLY LISTEN TO YOUR END USERS.If it comes down to it and all you and MAC want is a bunch of hunch backed squinty drones looking at your stupid products on stupid small devices I guess I'll have to go with Linux or something, The Trend toward smaller portable devices is a joke of disposable toys, when you need to create high quality content. What am I saying Microsoft, you don't care.But the Surface or anything with windows 8 will not be in my possession. I really wish That TEAC Or Studer Or Revox would start manufacturing reel to reel Machines again, I'd dump all but the most necessary Computer recording stuff, and go back to analog, And If I come across an unbeatable price for an 8 track rtor deck I might use that and then get a new outboard hardware Multitrack (Thank you Tascam,Zoom for still making those). FIX The MIDI. It's been a while since the MIDI BDebacle.
The leaves have changed, I've burnt my Bronte sisters out of sheer boredom, Hoping like Latoya or whoever that one chick is that Frankenstein would come and save her from the alien in the pile of rocks. Tick tick, Now I just recieved a laptop Yee Haw! But Its Vista, (awww.) But It's 64 Bit ( Hmmm Ok) But, I tried to put on Offiece 2007 One Note took over as the program that default opens everything. Soooo, I uninstalled it, It's still looking for it.
It's Vista, so I'm trying ever so hard to see the good but it's like the slower brother of 7 who goes force them to joinhome on the other buses.I tried to help out with windows 8. Now firmly convinced I do Not want it. It's Ever present in your face. Somebody make a good os that stays out of your way, is ultra stable, doesn't have JAck or some other unexplained linux what not, and when touched by an Apple head It emits Waves of stupid that get people to join a UFO cult. So Still Kinda suckin here windows, N ot even looking foreward to 9. Forget Late SteveSleep, Simon.
MIcrosoft, as it often does--without admitting that some of the alleged malicious software is it's own--fixed the problem, eventually, with a--QUOTE--malicious software removal/update tool--UNQUOTE. Again, forget Late SteveSleep--I've slept too late on many occasions, usually--because I'm a night person and like to stay up 'late'--because I've stayed up too late. Because I am a night person, I'm not going to report his two Replies above as abuse. Helpful, they're not. Whether one loves it or hates it, Windows is here to stay.
I'm in the process of replacing WIndows 7 with Windows 10 ((Windows 9 was soooooooo buggy, SleepySteve, that Microsoft didn't release it)). I'm keeping WIndows 7 on one computer just for fun, but mostly because I need a 'relatively stable' 7 setup to run stuff that won't run on 10 as I can't afford--to Microsoft's chagrin and minisculely lower profits--to buy Office and everything else over again every time MS changes the OS number.
