I am so glad you got your instrument off the ground again.
I had exactly the same problem about a year ago after upgrading to HW4.
The Midisport seemed hot so I assumed it had broken down, I had got 3 years out of it and assuming these things do not last long these days bought a new one. I didn't work: HW couldn't see but windows said the install was satisfactory.
After discussions with Milan and the manufacturers I concluded that it was not their fault at all and eventually partitioned my hard disc and loaded a clean windows 7. All went well for a while until I had to move the instrument during which I had to disconnect the PC from the MIDI. Big Mistake I was back to square one
At my wits end I trawled the web to see if anyone else had the same problems. Eventually I found one post amongst hundreds that said that on a different model he had found the manufacturers drivers were useless (his words not mine). I re-loaded the Midisport with the windows drivers only and Hey presto it goes like a dream.
I just hope we both continue to have good luck but if you have any more problems you have the benefit of my experience above.
