Hi Joe,
Sorry for the delay responding to your questions.
First, about opening MIDI ports: QWS uses the standard Windows functions
to open the MIDI devices. Windows is reporting an error when QWS tries
opening your keyboard port. Unfortunately, there is very little that can
be done by QWS.
Regarding the save location of files: if you try and save to the
installation directory of QWS, Windows is likely to "virtualise" the
folder. This is because normally you aren't supposed to write to
c:\program files (x86). So instead, Windows creates an equivalent folder
from your Windows profile folder, under c:\users\<profile name>\... (as
you say, buried deep).
Your best option is to make sure you know where you store all your
files, make sure that you choose a folder of your choice, not the
computer's choice.
I hope this helps and sorry I cannot give you a good answer about the
MIDI port problem.
God bless,
James.

Hmmm, how strange.
What kind of keyboard do you have? If it’s one that requires you to
install the driver, it could be that your driver is corrupt and it
needs to be reinstalled. Also something to consider, sometimes QWS will
say on start up that it can’t open a midi port, but sometimes you can
still choose it in the track properties dialogue and it will work
anyway.
God bless!

Hello,
Seth,
Thanks for writing. I'll definitely take your suggestion.
It turns out that after uninstalling QWS, my files remained in their
places.
Unfortunately output ports still won't open with a fresh installation.
If I can't solve this, I can't do any sequencing.
I need the "powers that be" to consider this and let me know what can be
done.
I thank you.

You can choose where you want to save your files when the Save as
dialogue comes up the first time you save a new file. Personally, I
don’t keep my files in the QWS folder, but in a different directory
within my documents folder. This way, if something goes wrong and I have
to uninstall QWS, My Files won’t get deleted, and I can resume work on
them when I reinstall it.
God bless!

Good evening,
I now have a new synthesizer and I still have the situation where QWS
cannot open the output port.
I have to believe that the software is corrupt. I will install it again.
My question is what happens to my songs which are buried many layers
deep. It will be difficult to replace them even though they are backed
up.
How is it that my files end up in that remote location rather than in
the main QWS folder?
I truly look forward to your thoughtsand ideas.
Thank you for reading this.
