Make sure that if you have a SmartMedia card installed, that it is removed when you boot up the Fantom-S. If there is no SmartMedia card in the SM slot, the USER storage area may be corrupted. I'm not aware of any way to perform a factory reset without access to the MENU button. Someone else might be though.

thanks for the help
i tried that and at first it didnt work...then i unplugged a cable that was in midi out and it started to load???
i had a huge sample on that card
i wonder if that had anything to do with it
i have always wondered if there was a way to initialize it if you coudnt get to the menues like by holding down certain buttons while powering up? alot of keyboards have this as i am sure you know

again thank you
