Alright so, I recently got an Alesis Photon x25 Midi controller to use with Reason 3.0.
I've plugged it in via the usb cable and installed the drivers that came on the cd, but neither Reason nor any other program i try to use is showing the controller as being connected and useable.
I've looked in the Device Manager and the Photon shows up as 'USB Audio
Device', but then i went into Sounds and Audio Devices and looked under 'Midi Music Playback' and it wasn't listed there (which its supposed to be). So I'm guessing that maybe it's installing the USB device driver but NOT the MIDI driver?
I've spent the day uninstalling, reinstalling, and restarting but nothing
works.

Oh, i also tried installing it on my older pc (dell) and it installs perfectly. It's nice that i finally get to use the photon, but it's such a pain in the that i have to write and record the midi on that pc and then transfer it over to this pc to get my guitar stuff together.

Any thoughts? Any help is GREATLY appreciated.
