I have Vista on my PC and I cannot play .MID files either.
Windows Media Player will play MP3 files and all kinds of other things but it won't play MIDI files.
Based on an old post - I cannot find anything called MPLAYER on my PC using search and typing it into RUN does not work for the same reason.
I tried using VLC player and .mid extensions are not listed.
I tried Winamp which usually works but it loaded it and it tried to play it but no sound came out.
Windows Media Player loaded the file and displayed the error message that says no sound device installed.
Is there a missing driver or something? I cannot find anythhing in Windows Help.
