Timing problems on XP

Hi !  
 
Sorry for posting this again, but it was covered in antother thread and somehow did not get attention...
 
I try to simply connect a MIDI file player (tried van Basko and MIDI-OX) to a VSTi in Cubase by connecting it through MIDI Yoke and I get tremendous timing problems, like playing with a fully drunken drummer.
 
The system is a 2.4 GHz Compaq Laptop, 512MB RAM and XP Professional. I tried to reduce the system services as much as possible, but no difference. If I route the MIDI out of the MIDI player directly to eg. Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth everything is fine.  
 
Unfortunately, I don't have another system to check right now...
 
Any idea ?
 
Thanks and best regards

What happens when you use Basko -> MIDI Yoke -> MIDI-OX -> GS Wavetable?  If that works try Basko -> MIDI Yoke -> Cubase -> GS Wavetable ...  By switching components you can find where the problem is.

Hi Jamie !
 
That's a clever test !!! I have done so and bingo, the component that causes the trouble is the soft synth !!! Obviously, the two programs competing for the CPU lead to the fact that I loose the exact timing.  
 
What irritated me was, that when I load the MIDI-file within Cubase everything was fine with the same soft synth, but in this case Cubase propably is controlling that everything is in time.
 
So I guess there is no solution to this problem besides a 4 or 5 GHz machine.... Or maybe Hyperthreading.
 
Thanks anyway !!! I should have known... NO WAY that MIDI-Yoke or MIDI-OX could have caused the problem.
 
Thanks and best regards
