Have you checked ctrl panel/sounds & audio devices for the midi music playback default device? l8r ----- Original Message ----- From: Omar Binno To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, March 24, 2011 8:17 PM Subject: [ddots-l] sonar and midi files Hello, For some reason, when I try and open a .mid file, i'm getting the message that "windows can not open this program," etc. I know that when I installed Sonar i selected all associated files, like .mid, to be played through it. When I do a control o from within sonar, i can open the file, but when i go to the folder in its folder and hit enter to open it, it won't open. Also, when the "choose from a list of programs" dialogue appears," after the other windows message, sonar isn't even in the list. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
