Sound play is done through the MMSYSTEM unit, which is the interface to MCI (i.e. Codecs). I had no idea that IE might be involved... but it might explain one more of the problems... I might actually be running afoul of my pop-up killer by trying to open two ie windows at once ... now wouldn't that be a laugh! Can anyone confirm if IE would be involved when playing midi, wmi, wave, and mp3 audio files? ----- L D Blake _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
