*Edit* I found the solution. It has to do with the windows USB registry. If the padkontrol gets registered past the 10th slot it will not work. I had mine in the 15th USB registry. If anyone has this same problem where the driver will not work send me a PM and I will explain how to fix it.
I have used the search function but haven't found an answer:
setup:
Dell xps m1710 laptop
xp pro sp 3
Ableton live suite 8.1.1
Akai apc40
Korg Padkontrol
Lexicon Omega
I have read and re-read the Korg manual and I can't figure out how to get it to work. How I have things setup ( a photo essay
)
if i try and trasmit or receive i get:
thank you for your time, any feedback appreciated... new to this stuff and pretty overwhelmed.

up at the top of the midi preferences where it says control surfaces and lists APC and Padkontrol. it shouldnt be saying USB audio device in the input and output boxes,

other than that, go into start programs korg padkontrol or whatever its listed as in there and install the midi driver, duno what the real deal is with installing the PK but when you think your installing the midi driver from disc your not, your installing a program into yur start menu that will install the midi driver. fcuking weird i know, but that seems to be what goes on.

And why not set the sound playback device in windows to your speakers?
ok did made that change, apc40 to usb audio. The korg is attached to computer via usb cable... so it seems like i should have a "usb audio device 2" or something.
As for the sound playback it goes to the lexicon omega because it acts as an external sound card. And my speakers are plugged into the lexicon omega

mine shows up as Akai apc40 on the ins and outs.

well I think I found the culprit
though I have no idea what to do about this, I have completely uninstalled all korg stuff/drivers/editor etc. and then reinstalled it twice. I recognizes I have the padkontrol but the driver won't work correctly
