It could be that the midi file its attempting to play is corrupted, either
on the server or after it was downloaded.
If you have the URL of the card, goto another computer, if it fails to play
then chances are the midi file is corrupted.

To be sure this isn't system related goto Find, and do a search for *.mid
then double click on the files to see if they'll play.
The midi's that come with win 9x are usually found in  C:\windows\media\

Subject: [PCBUILD] midi


> Hi,
> On the last couple of times I recieved an Electronic Greeting card the
audio would not play. A window came up saying UNABLE TO START MIDI and in
the top left hand corner in the it said DEBUG, so I clicked the OK button
and another window came up saying UNABLE TOSTARYT PLAYING MIDI SOUND and in
the top left hand corner it said MIDI ERROR and I clicked ok on that.I went
into my MIDI file and everything looks OK. I just don't understand why when
I get a ELECTRONIC GREEETING CARD, why it won't play the music? They have
worked fine in the past. I have downloaded REALPLAYER and HEARME and other
Windows and Microsoft upgrades. I'm just at an impasse on this problem.
Could you please help me out. Thanks alot Bruce
