I also noticed that the function fails both in real DOS and in the Windows 98 DOS box on my system. Has anyone seen any difference between these environments, or is the failure consistent everywhere? Yes, this bug is consistent everywhere. It does not matter what OS you are using as long as the OS …

My original plan was to use an ensoniq audiopci 1370, partition the drive and have a DOS 6.22 partition for DOS gaming. However Dos does not like to share a drive with with XP. It kept corrupting the XP boot sector. So I kept it as a pure XP system. Does your motherboard BIOS have a boot device …

I have this in stock, I don't have anything else, everything works for me Of course it can work, even Win32 version of DosBox can run under pure DOS with the help of HX DOS extender. But this does not mean that Midnight Commander (or DosBox) has a DOS version. ;) These are still Win32 PE …

Sorry, my NAS was unavailable. Hi, Both attached packages contain a Win32 PE executable version of mc.exe. None of them are valid DOS exe files. But the 1st package contains files form HX DOS extender (HDPMI32.EXE, DPMILD32.EXE) that enables simple 32-bit PE executable files to run under pure DOS.

No, the VST launches straight away. Then your Midiplayer.exe is not the right version or you must have done something wrong. So: 1. Check that you really downloaded and using the right version. The file version should be 6.5.0.8 . 2. Then check if the vstdelay parameter works for you locally with …

5000, 10000, 300000 300000 means 5 minutes so if you look at Midi player by opening it from the system tray after a system restart you should see that the plugin is not being loaded at all for 5 minutes. Is this what you see? No, the VST launches straight away. Then your Midiplayer.exe is not the …

Not sure if that narrows down any issue or not. I also tried another non Sound Blaster 16 (CT1740) sound …
