When I'm creating an email, If I use a WAV file for background sound I can
hear it, but not if I use a midi files. The midi file *is* embedded
properly; I've checked, and the recipient can hear it.

I have read somewhere that an activeX control is used to play the midi. Is
it possible that I have a damaged or missing activeX control? And if so,
how can I repair it?

Thanks for any help.

Check your extended volume settings and make sure you can hear midis by
playing them outside of OE first. If you click on one, what program plays
it?

Steve,

Thanks for the quick reply. The midis will play in Media Player just
fine. Also, if I embed a wav file in an email that I'm creating it can
be heard just fine. And to repeat, when I embed a midi it is definitely
there, and is definitely sent, because if I receive the email on another
machine the midi plays normally. It's a bit of a poser!

This is a poser to say the least, and I'm not sure I can help, but you don't
hear the music while you are composing, correct?

Do you hear it in Sent Items after you send it? What if you send it to
yourself?

Since you have access to another computer, what happens if you create it on
that one and send it to the problem one?

Try creating a new identity and see if it works there.

File | Identity | Add New Identity. Create a new one and test it. If all is
well, you can import your messages and Address Book from the old identity
and delete it.

Bruce,

- Can't hear it while composing
- Can't hear it if I open the Sent email
- Can't hear it on my second computer (but if I look at Properties
Details Message source, the midi file *is* embedded

Now it gets even stranger:
- I just tried composing an email with background midi in my second
computer, and I can't hear it!
- I sent it to my primary computer, but when I open it I can't hear it.
- Just to see I re-sent the email, then cranked up Thunderbird and
downloaded that email from my ISP. Thunderbird does not support embedded
sound, but the midi file was there as an attachment, and it played!

Again, on both computers background WAV files play normally.

How could this be occurring on two separate machines, with separate
installs of OE?? I'm baffled.

Is it conceivable that a needed registry entry has been stripped it both
machines? I use the same registry cleaner in both, RegVac. (The program
has never given me any problems before, though, and I've used it for
several years.)

If not RegVac, it would appear that it is something common between both
machines. Did you try in a new identity?

Try a CTRL-F2 on the messages and check the volume setting for when the midi
files were sent in the BGSOUND tag.

Here's the result:

BGSOUND balance=0
src="cid:007a01c73858$60a87a00$6401a8c0@ARTSVAIO" volume=-9640

Is 'volume=-9640' okay?
