Hi everyone! Sorry for the noob question but I've spent about 6hrs online and reading manuals to figure what's wrong or what I'm missing but nothing seems to work.

I have just installed Sonar 4 Home studio on my laptop which is a Pentium 4 2.4ghz w/ 512mb RAM, and connected it to my Yamaha PF-500 digital piano. I have installed the MIDI drivers of the PF-500 and it shows up as available midi in and midi out ports but everytime I choose them I get a prompt saying that I have not chozen any input or outputs. The drivers show as "Yamaha CBX Driver". The internal soundcard works fine when I choose Microsoft GS wavetable.

I've gone to the options>audio>advance> and chose MME-32bit but nothing works.

About a year ago I downloaded the Sonar 3 demo and it worked fine. I was able to control my keyboard and vice versa. I just got too busy with medical school that I had no time to work with it since. But now I'm at my residency stage and I have a little breathing room to do what I love doing.

Any help would be appreciated! thanks!

Tough problem. I'd probably start by uninstalling and reinstalling the Yamaha driver. How is the Yamaha hooked to the laptop?
