VLC will not play midi files.

Is there another Media Player that will play Midi Files, VLC won't play midis. I have Win 8.1 and plan on updating to Win 10, when it becomes available, and WMC is going to be gone with Win 10

I'm 74.

Another person, not from this forum, suggested she go to Control Panel/ Programs & Features and click on Windows Essentials and instead of uninstalling it to do a repair. Would you think this would work? I will give her the information that you suggested.

She used WLM for about 6 months before this started happening. A person, not from this forum, told her to go to uninstall, and install of doing an uninstall to do a repair. This person said that it worked for her. Do you this this would maybe work? I will give her the information that you...

She uses her WLM from the desktop. She doesn't use the start screen for anything.

It only happens randomly. She uses the e-mail from her desktop and not from the start screen. She has her computer set so she does not have to sign in each time also. When she shuts down and reopens it will automatically go to the desktop without logging in.

I've never had this problem with my WLM either. She used a Hotmail address when she set up her Win 8.1, then she installed WLM and only uses that account. She uses a POP account for her WLM. I do the same thing and I have no problems like she does. She never uses the Hotmail Account for anything.

Yes WLM is set as default. I don't know what you mean by is the account set up in her native Modern Store E-Mail app? She installed from the Microsoft Site.

A friend of mine is having problems with her Windows Live Mail. It doesn't happen all the time, but sometimes when she uses her Red X in the upper right corner to close the mail program she will get this message. When she opens WLM again every folder will be empty. Inbox-Sent Items-Junk...

WLN is completely emptied, Inbox, Sent Mail, and Deleted Mail, after getting a pop-up message when closing about being used by another program. Clicked on the pop-up message to close it, and when WLM is opened again all the mail is gone. This started after the last updates from Microsoft. Do...

I'm now using Win 8.1, but I was raised in the era if it's not broken why replace it. That is exactly how I feel about most things. Lots of seniors just can't afford it. This will be the last computer I will ever buy. People living on $1000.00 a month just can't afford new computers and that...

I've had some many problems with Win 8. First a just got a bad computer and had to take it back and get another one. Then I had problems trying to learn this machine. Finally got a start button and it has been a lot easier for me to learn. Now I want to download 8.1 and I'm scared to do it...

I'm winging, learning by myself mostly trying to learn Win 8, because I really don't know anyone who is using Win 8 to give me a helping hand. I'm 73 and I'm a little slower learning now, and if I ask questions that may sound stupid to someone else please just bear with me. Thanks again for...

Thanks for the answer David. I'm glad that I have not already done that.

I'm a 73 year old grandma and this Win 8 is absolutely driving me crazy. I guess Microsoft thinks that seniors don't count when it comes to computers. I've used Win XP for 7 years and loved every minute of it. I had no choice but to buy this crazy Win 8, since I will not be able to use Win XP...

Thanks so much David for the screenshot, and thanks to the others for you suggestions and ideas. Now I was told all those DLLs go in the SysWOW64. I can see that File in your screenshot David. I still have one more question, Can I make a new Folder in the SysWOW64 File to put those DLLs in, so...

I'm trying to download some DLLs to use for my Paint Shop Pro program and I need to put them in my System 32 files, and I can't find System 32. I new at working with this Win 8 so please be gentle with me. I received the 2 dlls in a zip folder. I opened them and saved in a folder in Documents...

I have solved the proglem..I'm ashamed to tell you that it was so simple, and it was the one thing that I had not thought of at all. I'm almost ashamed to tell you..It was the speaker...It was turned off. I picked up the speaker and felt something on the side, and I looked at it and saw that it...
