Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000

error at 0000:B166
I was about to save a beat that I have been working on for the last five hours and when I went to save all programs I got an Error at 0000:B166 message. All the other times I got this message, any button I pushed brought up a screen with a bunch of number jibirish and the beat was lost for good. I've tried -when I've gotten this error message in the past- to go back to the main screen and a number of other things, and every time I've completely lost the beat for good. I can't lose this beat!!!!!! If anybody knows anything about this please let me know. I'm not going to touch the MPC untill I've lost all hope.

Thanx R.L

chalk that beat up to "not saving often enough"

you were making a beat for 5 hours and didnt save your progress? i had to learn the hard way too. trust me you are not alone, but do yourself a favor and remember to save as often as your creativity will permit.

Thank you for your imput. Unfortunatly this error is not allowing me to save my work at all so it's not an issue with the frequency of saving. In the last 8 years I have only had this problems five or six times, but now it's happened four times since I installed new memory cards so I wonder if it has anything to do with that. Maybe it's just getting old. Either way it's frustrating

Is that a memory address? Maybe you got a bad memory module or something.

I save after each part I lay down. Had to learn the hard way also.
