Mike, I'm working on a friends compaq preserio Win98se. She lost her sounds, so I removed everything in device manager's sound,video & game controllers. Then restarted & it found everything & reinstalled them all. I went into the properties of all of them & updated the drivers. So that took care of that,...But now I can't get the midi's to play anymore. I uninstalled the Ultra player & tried the default media player, still no midi's. I copied the midi's & put them on my computer & they work, So I uninstalled them from her's & reinstalled them. still don't work? The Cd player works, just can't get the midi's to play. any Ideas? thanks.

You need to associate the player to the type of formats it should play. If you download Windows Media player, go to Tools-Options and open the Format Tab, check the types of files you want it to play, one of them is Midis.

I checked all that. I'm beginning to think it's the onboard audio. I'm going to try & use another sound card.

Is the Sound Card sharing an IRQ ? If it is, that may be the problem.

Thanks, I didn't think about that.
