So the correct driver had been installed but the computer wasn't recognizing that the keyboard was connected. Under the properties for the driver it was saying the device wasn't connected but it was. The light on the keyboard was flashing intermittently but it wouldn't fully connect and the device manager was flashing like something was trying to connect as well. The "Human Interface Devices" section was continually expanding open as well when the manager was flashing which I had ignored until I realized that one of the entries was graying in and out. It was the "HID-Compliant system controller" I uninstalled it and bingo the keyboard and the device manger stopped flashing and the keyboard was finally connected and working. Windows was obviously thinking the keyboard was something else even though it had loaded the correct driver. The "Human interface Device" setting was trying to establish itself and not allowing the "Sound Video and Game Controllers" setting to work." I went into my Device Manager clicked on Show Hidden devices under the view tab. Then under Sound, Video and game controllers I saw listed CASIO USB-MIDI ! I double clicked on that and CASIO USB MIDI Properties window appeared. Under general tab I see a box Device Status and it reads " Currently, this hardware device is not connected to the computer. (Code 45) To fix this problem, reconnect this hardware device to the computer." Under Driver tab I could uninstall device should I do this? Under Events Tab I see Timestamp....Description Device install requested Device Migrated Driver service added (usb audio) Device Installed (wdma_usb.inf_amd6..... Same tab under information a box reads "Driver Management concluded the process to install driver wdma_usb.inf_amd64_d4f7f6fd843ed0fd for Device Instance ID USB\VID_07CF&PID_6803&MI_00\6&438BDDF&0&0000 with the following status: 0x0." Jokey Man I tried midiox. I opened up saw the black screen connected cable and nothing popped up to install drivers. I then went to options, midi devices, then looked at midi input. It was blank I turned on my px150 and nothing changed. I also have a akai eie Interface. "One of the problems could be compatibility issues with USB 3.0 ports which your new computer probably has. You also might want to watch device manager while you plug the PX150 into the computer-see what devices are being (or not being) recognized. Or windows 10 being 64 bit instead of 32. I have 2 brand specific drivers installed for other hardware and don't have any problems with windows 7. But I had to use the specific 32 or 64 bit drivers and I use a Midisport interface now." -When I go into Device manager under Universal Serial Bus Controllers and USB Connector Managers sub listed I see IntelR USB 3.0 etensible Host Controller -1.0 microsoft USB Composite Device USB Root Hub (3.0 USCSI USB Connector Manager https://support.casio.com/en/support/information.php?cid=008&pid=614 I do not see px 150 listed in this link regarding casio compatibility with Windows 10. http://www.casiomusicforums.com/index.php?/topic/8970-usb-midi-driver-for-windows-10/ This thread I saw a few weeks ago and before joining to post. Brad Saucier in the thread recommend two links http://support.casio.com/en/support/download.php?cid=008&pid=72 for 32 and 64 bit drivers. I did not see px150 listed but I bieleve I did install both onto my computer anyway and then tried some of this link https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-hardware-winpc/how-to-install-and-update-hardware-drivers-in/a97bbbd1-9973-4d66-9a5b-291300006293 Which talks about converting drivers back to Windows 7 through compatibility mode. I will explore more of this article. I did try some of this a couple weeks ago downloaded the 32 bit and 64 bit drivers on there links provided and then tried to revert those to windows 7 though troubleshoot compatibility mode. It sounds like Windows should have native drivers so I was not going to do much with this. I will order a new cable and keep exploring these articles. Can someone provide a link or recommend a vendor for a good usb cable that would work. T Advanced member for some reason I can not see your posts. thank you everyone, I will keep working this morning and post updates but I do wonder if there is something in the device manager-sound video game controllers - casio USB -MIDI properties window that I should do something with?

I know that I did I try another USB cable to no avail. The past two days just been busy, full time overnight job/ and real estate during the day. I'm 26 and just want to make sure I do not give up on recording/writing even if just for personal benefit. I really appreciate your feedback. I will work on the set up tonight or tomorrow and try your suggestions and post an update this weekend. Thank you so much.

For a short time I was using my Casio Privia px-150 with Sibelius and finale. Now my computer does not make a sound when I connect keyboard to my computer. I tried a second usb I have searched online and have tried downloading Casio drivers not sure if I should have. I have changed my computer to always leave power on to the USB ports. Any help is appreciated for years I have tried pro tools and other recording software but always run into technical issues almost ready to pay some guy at guitar center to work with me on getting set up. Recently I purchased a brand new dell laptop i7, 16 gb ram, solid star drive . Got a nice one if I need to downgrade to windows 7 let me know or if I need to get a new keyboard I will, but do not want to spend if I do not need to.
