To do so, you need to go into the Registry. Select Run from the Start button and then type regedit . This will open the Registry Editor. It is very important at this point that nothing else is touched within the registry other then the key we are about to show you. In a typical installation (XP), the driver entry will be located under: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows NT/CurrentVersion/Drivers32 It’s the one where the Data field says “karmadrv.dll” (should be “midi1” or “midi2”, etc.). Select this entry and DELETE it. (If you have difficulty locating the entry, you can search for it: make sure My Computer from the registry editor is highlighted, click Edit from the menu and select Find… . Enter “karmadrv.dll” and make sure all the checkboxes are checkmarked.) After deleting the entry, you then need to reboot. The DLL will still be there, but XP won’t know to load it. When running KT or MW, you will see “VMD not active” or something similar in the start up screen. To rein
