1. Locate the driver. You need the official Setup.exe for v42314.
2. Disable any onboard MIDI synth (e.g., Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth) in Device Manager. Conflicts are common.
3. Run Setup in Windows 2000 compatibility mode.
4. Reboot. You will see "Yamaha XG SoftSynthesizer WDM" in your MIDI devices list.
5. The "Hot" Registry Tweak: After install, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Yamaha\XGSoftSynth. Create a DWORD UseMMCSS and set it to 0. This prevents buffer underruns in the "Hot" patch.

1. Extract the 4MB wave ROM from the v42314 installer using 7-Zip.
