Deleting Incorrect Device Information

Use the following procedure to re-install the driver.

1.Turn off the power of your computer, and start up Windows with all USB cables disconnected (except for keyboard and mouse).

2.After Windows restarts, use a USB cable to connect the V-Synth to your computer.

3.Turn on the power of V-Synth.

4.Click the Windows Start button, and from the menu that appears, choose Settings Control Panel.

5.Double-click the System icon. The System Properties dialog box will appear.

6.Click the Device Manager tab.

In Windows XP, select the System Properties Hardware tab, and click Device Manager.

7.Check whether “Roland V-Synth” with an “!” or “?” symbol is displayed below “Other Devices,” “Sound, Video, and Game Controllers,” or “Universal Serial Bus Controller.” If you find any such indication, select it and click [Delete].

8.A dialog box will ask you to confirm deletion of the device. Verify the contents of the dialog box, and then click [OK]. In the same way, delete all occurrences of “Roland V-Synth” that have an “!” or “?” symbol.

9.Check whether “Composite USB Device,” “USB Device,” or “USB Composite Device” with an “!” or “?” symbol is displayed below “Other Devices,” “Sound, Video, and Game Controllers,” or “Universal Serial Bus Controller.” If you find any such indication, you need to determine whether it has appeared because the V- Synth has been detected incorrectly, or because there is a problem with some other device. To determine this, switch off the power of the V-Synth.

*If the “Composite USB Device” (or other) indication disappears when you turn off the power of the V-Synth, then it is the V- Synth that has been incorrectly detected. Return to step 2 and continue the procedure, and when you reach step 8, delete the information that was detected incorrectly. If the indication does not disappear when you turn off the power of the V-Synth, then this indication refers to a different device. Do not delete it.

“Composite USB Device,” “USB Device,” or “USB Compatible Device” may sometimes indicate a device other than the V- Synth. Be careful not to accidentally delete the registration for another device. If you delete the registration for another device, you will have to reinstall the driver for that device.
