SUMMARY
When trying to access the Midi Mapper in Control Panel the following error may appear:

Cannot find the MIDIMAP.CFG or temporary file. These files are required to start and quit MIDI Mapper. Copy the original file to your Windows SYSTEM directory, and try again. CAUTION: if you are quitting MIDI Mapper you will lose any changes.

In order to correct this error make sure that the TMP variable is set properly in the System section of Control Panel. The TMP variable should be pointing to a valid path and directory and have sufficient free space to store the MIDIMAP.CFG file.

MORE INFORMATION
This error message can be somewhat misleading. There is probably nothing wrong with the MIDIMAP.CFG file because if the MIDIMAP.CFG file is found to be corrupt or is not located in the SYSTEM32 directory, the following error would appear:

MIDI Mapper could not find a valid MIDIMAP.CFG file in your Windows SYSTEM directory. If cannot run without this file. Do you want to create and initialize a new MIDIMAP.CFG file?
