Bingo! It was a format issue. Apparently the 'WAV' files were LAME MP3 format, although back when I first wrote the code and thus harvested the sound files I didn't know MP3s even existed... strange. But I converted them to PCM proper WAV files, and suddenly both Win98 machines play them just fine. I'm still curious as to why Media Player would play them on the first machine yet PlaySound() would not - maybe it works at a slightly higher level than the WinMM library. But anyway, result!!! -- Jason Teagle [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ msvc mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] See http://beginthread.com/mailman/listinfo/msvc_beginthread.com for subscription changes, and list archive.
