[dba-Tech] Why won't my WMP won't play music?

...and I w/WXP and IE6 w/MS Media Player ...are you sure your Win media
player is set to play midi files (the file extension is .mid)? ...or have
you used real player or quicktime recently and then deleted or moved them
...the graphic uses your browser audio but the text link looks for your
default midi file player which it may not be finding ...HTH :)
