Sonar 4 on Laptop - No Midi Output

Hello everyone. I just got Sonar 4 Producer Edition for christmas and I'm running it on my Centrino notebook. I'm not sure how to get all of the soundcard details, but it's just the standard SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio card with WDM Based MIDI Output. When running Sonar, I get the "You have not selected any MIDI outputs" pop-up error. When I select "Choose MIDI Output Now", on the Input side I have no devices listed and on the Outputs side I only have "Microsoft MIDI Mapper" listed. When I select this and press OK, the same pop-up comes up again claiming that there are No MIDI Outputs Selected. I'm not sure how to get around this, can anyone offer some guidance? Maybe a new software synth would help? Please, any insight would be helpful as this sure was an expensive gift :) Thanks for your time.
