Portable Grand Portatone

by Kendra Ann
(Cedar Park, Texas, U.S.A)

My keyboard

My keyboard

I have a Yamaha Portable Electric Grand Piano (also known as the Portable Grand DGX-205) and it came with the Portable Grand Portatone Accessory CD-ROM for Windows. I read the requirements for the USB download and transfer, and it's for Windows XP, 2000, and 98 or something. I have Windows Vista and the download wouldn't work, and yes I understand why. I was wondering if I would have to go out to Yamaha to get the upgrade CD-ROM (if they have it) or if I can download it from online. I want to be able to transfer music MIDI files. Also if I finally get it up and running, will I be able to get any song I want, that has a piano in it, and get it on my piano to then teach me it? Like through the "Lesson" part of my keyboard. (I want to get songs that I KNOW wouldn't be on the extra download it came with) If you need more information about my keyboard please go here....

Vista Drivers for Yamaha hardware request
by: SurRealms

Please someone help make or find a Vista driver for Yamaha Keyboards etc. I am running Windows 7 and all my hardware was installed automatically. The Yamaha is the only thing that I can't get working. I even purchased their Yamaha Driver CD for my keyboard a couple of weeks ago and there is no Vista driver support. Most Vista drivers work for Windows 7.
