Reply to NanoPAD/Korg Kontrol Editor problems

Sorry for posting this in this community , but I know you guys will give better answers and in a more timely manner than other places.

My NanoPAD has worked great, but I am trying to use it in conjunction with my VCI-100SE, so I am trying to change some of the note values in the Kontrol Editor to not conflict with the new mapping. To do this I am using the Kontrol Editor, which in theory is an easy way to configure the unit, but when I try to communicate with the NanoPAD to write the new configurations, I get "Failed to open MIDI port". I know it is communicating with the computer since I have used it previously with the factory configuration. I followed the trouble shooting guide and all is ok with my settings and I have an updated driver. Is this a problem with Windows 7? I don't see anywhere that it supports Windows 7, but I would believe it should. I also searched the korg community s without success.

I am a MIDI newbie, so maybe I am missing something obvious. Thanks.
