The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

I also had the same problem with Win7 Sp1 X64.  

I had copied the install executable from a CD, and saw what you saw.  It was there running as a process but not actually doing anything.  
It did this even in XP SP3 compat mode.  

What worked for me?  I rebooted the computer.  Bam, clean install.

Why did this work?  No idea . . .  :)

But now I have the editor running smoothly and it's so nice to be able to see the matrix on one screen.  

I just bought my AN1X from that guy in Alabama you see on eBay who always seems to have one or two of these along with numerous other Yamaha keyboards.  Paid a little more than I wanted to, but dang, I think it's worth it.  Great sounding synth, very capable.  Love this thing.
