A third option could be to try a different driver. The hardware VMware 
emulates. SB PCI128, doesn't have any MIDI capabilities as far as I 
know. The original Windows driver contained a software sequencer to 
support MIDI. (Different from the one Windows started to include later 
itself.)

Maybe using a different driver from the Creative site could let things 
work better.
