have you selected the proper midi port in reason?

I wonder if you have the GAME to MIDI port converter..??
If not, you'll need one so you can physically connect the midi cable to the PC.
They go for about $25 US here and includes some cheesey software.

Connect the keyboards MIDI OUT to the MIDI IN on the PC - Ivre read about 'mis-marked' converters - so make sure thats not the case.

Then select 'KX UART MIDI IN' - (or something like that - the key element is NOT UART2) in your midi host/sequencer software.
In reason - I think all midi inputs are enabled and 'merged' by default - but make sure.

Then in reason you have to enable which track will receive the midi in data - its a little keyboard icon (as I recall) for each track in track view (below) - not rack view.

But... to more answer your question directly.
No driver (other than the KX driver) is needed - it should already be installed -

To make sure look at the device manager and see if you have in 'Sound, video and game controllers' a '10Kx Game Port' in addition the the KX Audio device.

Be aware - there may be an alternative game port driver that I think I read something about - I think some may use the original Creative game port, but I dont know when/why.

Yeah! Once upon a time I had such converter. Both in and out midi jack were marked by arrows pointing "outside" (and coloured dots - in order to distinguish which is what ).
