Ok thanks man, you came through. :worthy:

Let me ask, do your computer have to be connected to the internet while updating? It didn't show that, it says it just has to down load it onto the computer and rock on from there. I like to be sure, cause I ain't having no problems and don't want none when I update.

Funny thing is I down loaded this last week, but I just down loaded it again and it has a list of long numbers behind it.
One looks like this: -MPC2.0.3UpdaterWin.exe
One looks like this: -MPC2.0.3UpdaterWin.exe_736e1bd9e14a0973af1e70d0d6c74e46.exe

I thought that was strange.

:vomit: :WTF:
2.0.3 F*** up on me.

So l installed the 2.0.3 and it was working fine. I went into controller mode and fine. Did a few drums and fine.

I turn off the Live come back and nothing would work properly. Controller mode was outta wack. Im going to try and see if it works if not lm reverting back to 2.0.

When l went to the preferences it even said invalid serial number. :WTF: That is insane to me.

Damm man, I was rooting for you and about to update.

Even with the Ren, the latest is 1.97 but everyone reverts to 1.96 because it proved to be more stable.

We'll see what this gigantic update in a couple weeks, the so-called 2.05

When I first booted the X it also acted f*cked up. I thought that I had a faulty unit. Some pads didn't response properly and the texts on the oled screens above the Q-Links where horizontally cut off.
Rebooted and never once saw the same behavior again.

Even the BLUE usb cable works.. :popcorn:

If you are on a PC Danoc, just reboot without plugging up the live to the computer. Then after a couple minutes of the computer being on, just connect the pc to the live and open up the software. With i did this initially to actually install the software, i had no issues with either product.
