I haven't tried it under Windows since I loaded it under Linux but there 
shouldn't be any problem as the driver is downloaded to the MidiSport 
every time it is fired up. The driver is held in RAM on the MidiSport 
not ROM or EEPROM. I wrote a script for Linux to download the firmware 
via the USB port when I want to use MIDI. If you are nervous about it 
let me know and I'll boot up PD in XP and give it a try.
