Hi KeithB,

Yes, that is exactly what I tried to do....I moved the file onto a floppy & when I pressed Load, it told me "The file you tried to load is empty"... ...I checked the properties on the file & it shows 309 Kb, but for some reason my board doesn't recognize it.....that's why I was wondering if there was something special that had to be done....

Thanks for the reply,....

Hi Flutteringby,
some checks:
1. be sure you disk is empty (maybe you have other files on the disk or for example place 03 is occupied with another song or style?)
2. copy the ast-file to this disk
3. put the disk in the KN
4. when you whish to load (e.g. World-styles): in this case you should see on place 03 in your diskload-menu on your KN7: 03world_ and on the right square only 'all custom styles'
3. when highlighted 03 .. press load
Then it should work and you shoud have the 'original' KN6000 styles, including sound settings.
Success,
Cees

Hi Bill,

At a loss to explain why your cd has duplicate sets of KN5000 styles. Checked all
the CDs I have in the manual and it stock and all read with the correct information. Please let me know how many files are on your cd when you have a chance.

Open the roof of the CD in Explorer, edit menu than select all and then file menu and then properties. That will give you the number of files and folders.

Thanks,

Walt

HI WALT,
I opened the cd today after a fresh boot and I only have one set of the Kn5000 files, instead of two as I had yesterday.
Used space is 271,001,600 =258 MB
835 files
22 folders
using 94.7 MB
size on disk is 95.5 MB
I was prining out directly from the disk the names of all the 682 custom files there when I got to the KN5000 it had duplicate files in the Windows Explorer index and all the files in both duplicates could be accessed. Strange.
Thanks
Bill

Hi Bill,

Good news!!!!Your cd is perfect, you have the correct amount of folders and files. I have alerted our Quality Control department (me) to stop checking our inventory of cd disks since they are fine.


Please consider the following for additional problems:

1. Write to Bill Gates

2. Punch computer, if that fails punch printer, if both fail try kicking each computer part in any order you like.

3. Check your prescription bottle for correct dosage of medication.

4. Be sure you have the proper glasses on for correct vision. I have three and they all do a different function. Time for Lasak surgery.

5. If all the above fail - never hit the KN7000 - you could void your warrantee.

Glad the problem is solved.

Walt

Hi cees,

Thank you for your reply & help....


>>4. when you whish to load (e.g. World-styles): in this case you should see on place 03 in your diskload-menu on your KN7: 03world_ and on the right square only 'all custom styles'>>

All this happens except for the "right square"....I don't get that appearing....

I guess the problem is that I don't have a Kn 7000, but I have a Kn 2400.....& I've found that some 7000 styles work & some don't....obviously this is one that won't.... ...

Darn!!...& this was the first Irish Jig that I had come across, as that rhythm (6/8) is not on the Kn 2400 & I use it a lot....

I'll keep looking,
Thanks again,
FlutteringBy

Hi flutteringby,
I didn't know that you had a KN2400. But if you whish I could copy the wanted custom-file(*.ast) (Irish Jig) to a KN7 composerstyle (*.cmp). Maybe than it could work in your KN2400?? If you whish, please mail me your mailadress and I mail it to you (with 2 other Irish-cmp's).
Greetings,
Cees.

So if the cd is perfect and everything that should be there is there ONCE and you have not got double vision then it sounds like it's time to bite the bullet trash your computer and splash out on a new one

Hi cees,

Yes, you hit the nail right on the head... ...I checked the styles that work on my Kn 2400 & they are in *.cmp format....as you can gather I'm still getting this board figured out....

I will email you the exact styles I am interested in....

Many Thanks for your kind offer,
FlutteringBy

FlutteringBy, you already have these styles in composer format....
