GAry,

It's been a while since I looked at the code but I suspect that the 
program looks for MIDI interfaces and expects to find at least 1, in 
which case it's sloppy error trapping on my part.  If that is the 
problem the quick fix would be to load something like MIDI Yoke 
which will give you a few "software" MIDI interfaces.  You can find 
it at :-

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
