What causes this? Can anyone help? >Is it because I only have the 256k of memory? And I have to upgrade? > Yes, it is because you are running out of memory on the card for the patches. Upgrade to 1Meg and you should never see a -7 error again. At least, I haven't yet. (1Meg is enough to hold about 40 instruments, since the 130 patches in my MIDI directory takes up about 2.7 Megs.) > Date: Fri, 25 Dec 1992 00:29:32 -0500 > From: KWAN RICHARD SIK YIU > Message-Id: <92Dec25.002939edt.4738@skule.ecf.toronto.edu> > Subject: Unexplainable errors > To: Ultrasound Daily Digest > > I've recently experienced difficulty with sbos and windows.

Note that I don't reboot as you do after running ultrinit. Running playmidi after removing SBOS seems to work just as well.
