Jari - I have heard from numerous sources that XP is prone to problems relating to MIDI, but I have no personal experience of this. I also think this may apply to 2000. Like David, I use Win98 and have had no MIDI problems at all (touch wood!). But make sure if you go for 98 that you get the full OEM disk of the updated version Win98SE (Second Edition), and do a clean install (ie not an upgrade). This is what I use - I have two soundcards and two external modules installed and the software is so forgiving. I can (if I am mad enough!) run two MIDI programs and play different MIDI files simultaneously, either using the two cards or even just using one. The soundcard installations were buggy, though, until I discovered the trick of doing it in Safe Mode.
