have left a note on the win 2k forum redirecting answers here.
When I select a .mid file windows media player (Ver 7) opens and shows the file as playing but no sound, it plays sound on all other files and .mid is selected in WMP preferences.
Any ideas???

Hey, not many folk have that W89 (sorry, I just couldn't resist it).
Can you confirm that when you do the same with a .wav file it works OK in WMP7?

Go to control panel, multimedia, click on midi tab. Now there should be a dot by the single instrument. Under that you should have it shown, in the box, something like midi synthesis. That is what it shows for my computer's sound card. If instead it shows MPU-401 that is why you don't hear midi sounds. Apply midi synthesis or something like it should get midi working.
Good luck.

Following Ken's idea.
For info, mine is using:
"Microsoft GS Wavetable SW Synth".There is also an option for:
"SB Live! Sw Synth [E800]".Although yours is probably different, the magic word is presumably Synth. I'm assuming .wav files are playing OK in WMP7.

Double click on the speaker icon in your system tray and make sure that in the volume control that your midi synth or something similar is not muted and the slider is moved up.

If the other suggestions don't work, go to Start-->Run. Type mplayer and click OK. Attempt to load a MIDI file into it from your hard drive. If it won't play, most likely you lost your MCI devices.
To install, go to Control Panel-->Add New Hardware Wizard. When it asks if you want to select hardware from a list, do that. Do not let Windows choose. Go down the list to Sound, Video and Game Controllers. From the next list that comes up, choose Microsoft MCI. Then in the right panel choose MIDI Sequencer Device. Finish up the wizard - and then restart your computer.
