| Hi,
|
| I've searched high and low from microsoft to mcafee's
| suggestions...the problem lies in the registry (in my case). I was
| getting this same error. Also, my event sounds like windows startup,
| email, etc sounds were not working either. As it turns out, I had a
| similar PC at work and exported these two keys to register the MIDI
| and default Windows files in order for it to work again. It worked
| like a charm. I also had an issue with the windows recorder not
| working...again...this import fixed it. If this doesn't work, chances
| are that some software may have overwritten/deleted the codec drivers
| that is installed by windows by default.
|
| NOTE: My work PC is a win2k Pro and my home PC is a WinXP Home
| Edition. Importing the keys below using the win2k registry export
| should not cause problems but you should always backup your registry.
| Also, some rules to know:
|
| 1. If the source file (SF) has keys that exist in the destination
| registry (DR), the destination registry will be overwritten with the
| new value.
| 2. If the SF does not have a key that is listed in the DR, the DR
| entries will be retained (i.e. that key in the registry is not
| deleted)
| 3. If the SF has keys that do NOT exist in the DR, it will be added to
| the DR. It's this one that fixed my issue.
|
| Here are the 2 keys:
| [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
| NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32]
|
| and
|
| [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
| NT\CurrentVersion\drivers.desc]
