HI BERT,
I did the registry changes you sent me in the email but that did not solve the problem. I am still getting the Microsoft GS Wavetable Sw Synth and no other choices in the drop down menu.
I sent you and email letter of what I have in the Registry and hope you have some further solution to this ongoing problem.
Best to you and thanks for the help.
Waiting to hear from you again.
