Reply to My VCI-100 Controller Doesn't Control

Heres my issue,

I am running Traktor Scratch Pro version 1.2.1 on a windows vista laptop. I bought a used VCI-100 SE that was originally purchased from DJTT with the 1.3 firmware. After already having Traktor Scratch Pro for a few months, I plugged in my new controller. Windows Vista recognized the device, and said it was ready to use. I went to DJTT, downloaded the V3.5.1 mapping, and imported the "FX Glitch Fix" TSI file into Traktor.

NOTE- I simply extracted the TSI from the zip onto my desktop. I didn't put it anywhere special.

Under the "Controller-Manager" tab in Traktor, i selected "VCI-100SE - Generic MIDI....." from the "Device" dropdown, and set my in and out ports as "Vestax PC-Controller".

NOTE- My "Assignment Table" stayed blank throughout this process.

I closed the preferences window and tried using the cross-faders and knobs, but nothing happened.

NOTE- The "MIDI" light at the top of the Traktor window DID go on whenever I moved anything on the VCI-100.

I went back into my preferences, to the "controller-manager" tab, but the "Device" had reset itself to "Generic Keyboard....". It continued to reset itself to generic keyboard each time i closed out of the preferences window.

If any on these things are not supposed to happen / someone has an answer to my problem, I would greatly appreciate some help.

Thanks,
SS
