Please someone help before I lose it and sell my virus

[switchbitch]

yes Im still trying to figure it out and no I havent gotten anywhere. Im trying to do and arrangement dump. My understanding from reading the manual many times and instructions from people on this site is that when I do an midi tx arrangement dump in multi mode I am sending addresses of singles involved aswell as any parameters and effects I have edited on my 16 parts. So it would make sense to me that I may then use the same multi or different multi with different sounds and again edit some parameters etc and then when I reload my sequencer later and press play that the original multi I was working on should be restored with the original addresses and edits I performed. Well it does not do this it just stays as is with whatever I have been doing.
I do not have any filter on in my sequencer. I followed the instructions given. I set up midi channel one track 17 on my sequencer. I create room before song to perform dump. I set multi tx arrangement dump on virus. I press play and record on sequencer and store on virus. Dump completes successfully. Please if there is someone out there that can help me before I give up and sell this thing because Ive had it for nearly four weeks and I am getting nowhere with it.
