Hi Gordon,
1. What OS do you see the problem on?
2. What is the version and date of mciqtz32.dll on your system?
3. You mentioned that this used to work on your system. Do you recall any
changes you made that might have caused the MP3 playback to fail?
I am including a MCI sample that plays MP3 files. Can you run this on you
system and let me know if it works or not. The MP3 file name is hardcode in
the call mciPlayMP3.
Thanks,
