Hi Mark,

Same old same old. Before opening the computer, I did test midi playback in that old program--no difference in the result from that in any other program.

If it were any, I'd suspect NERO media player. But if it's not open, I don't see how it could be at fault.

Also looked at memory usage for the brief time before the crash--about the same as for wav playback, and below available, though physical memory may have been a bit above, but was during wav play, if so.

The only thing in can think of is to reinstall WMP and Composer, which doesn't seem to make much sense.

I'm a bit ideaed out.

best,
mgj
