Hi everybody,

I am trying to play a MIDI file under XP and it doesnt work.

It works ok under Win98 and WinME but not under XP.

I put in a bit of debug that went like this

M = PlayMusic("mysong.mid")
Print M

Under Win98 and WinME, a large positive number is printed.
Under WinXP, a Zero (0) is printed.

Any thoughts, filename upper/lowercase?
Anybody else have this problem.

btw the MID file plays fine from XP's media player

Hello me,

Problem solved.

The DirectSound control panel had funny settings.
