Hello,

just added a TMediaPlayer component (Delphi 6) to my program, tested
it under WinXP - everything's fine.

Then I loaded the program on a Win98SE machine, and it says, it cannot
find MMPLAYER275! Is that a DLL ? (No extension given in the Message).
The program was immediately aborted (before I could see anything than
the error message).

Strange is also, that the Error Message uses the full screen instead
of the usual size. The program is set to use the full screen..

Searching the System directories, a DLL MMsystem.dll is there, and
executing WAV files from Windows Explorer successfully launches Media
Player.

Any idea ?

I do not need the features of Media Player in my program. What I need
is a way to alert the user accoustically. The Beep procedure doesn't
work on many machines (nothing heard in the speaker), so I choose to
play a WAV file.

Greatful for any hint,
Klaus.
