No MIDI from Internet in WMP 11 "Walt Gallus" <_nospam_walt.gallus[ at ]gmx.net> 11/17/2008 5:40:30 AM Good morning XP Pro SP 3 / WMP 11 When I try to play a MIDI-File from the Internet WMP opens and shows ther error message [bad translation ;-)] "When traying to play the file a problem occured in Windows Media Player. Klick on 'Web Help' to get more support." A have tried all the suggestions from this website (e.g. driver update). When I download this same file it is played correctly in WMP. Where to begin searching? Thanks in advance. Walt Gallus
