not responding

Today when I was connecting my Yamaha Keyboard to my computer in order to use Noteworthy Composer,  I went to options/midi and my screen froze.  I cannot use any part of Noteworthy Composer now.  Is there a way to force quit?   I have the hourglass instead of a cursor except when I try to x the options screen.  Then I get a message that the program is not responding and I can either End Now or Cancel.  When I click End Now I'm told to send an error report toe Microsoft.  I have done that repeatedly, but my screen is still frozen and Noteworthy Composer is unusable.  Help!!

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and suggest a reboot of the PC - it's more likely a Windows issue than an NWC one...

I have a virtual Windows computer on my Mac - VMWare, which is where I open NoteWorthy Composer.  When I close (suspend) VMWare and then reopen it, is that the same thing as rebooting?  Should I shut down my MAC?  Not sure that would have any effect on my Windows, however.

IIRC Suspending it will only store the current state of the Virtual Machine and then restore it when it is reopened- you need to actually reboot the Virtual Machine, not simply suspend it.

Thank you!  I looked around last evening and figured out how to actually close my virtual computer.  When I restarted it I was able to use Noteworthy again - until I tried again to connect my Yamaha piano.  Same thing happened, and I had to reboot windows again.  So I guess my problem is with the cord I use to connect the piano to the computer.  I've had it for at least 12 years.  I'll try a new cord.  Thanks again for your help.  I really appreciate it!

I incurred in something similar when windows in a VM could not gain access the MIDI (or even a serial) port.
It was either because badly configured or in use by something else.
