With extreme caution [:P]
>how do I open the instruments?
Open VE Pro 5. Select 'Channel' and click on 'Add Instrument'. You should now see one Vienna Instruments player - click on 'Patch', look through the folders and sub-folders to find the instrument and articulation you want (for example, HO-8 staccato), then drag the patch into the first play slot. You can now play the patch over MIDI. Beyond that, read the manual and check out the videos on this site, they are excellent!
