I adore this DMOD, and used to have no problem with it, so my question is NOT reporting a bug. I'm sure most of it is in my PC.
The program debug log says this DMOD is calling for a file called MMSYSTEM with 304 or 296 before the .dll extension. There is no such file on my system. It didn't appear when I reinstalled the game. I'm no programmer, but I've copied MMSYSTEM.dll and renamed it with each number and put both into SYSTEM, but it doesn't help. Midis won't play. Once in a while, I get a popup that says the .mid file can't play with my present configuration, but it is the same it always was. I did reformat C: a while back, and that's when the problem arose. This DMOD is not the only one which has this same problem. The MMSYSTEM numbers may vary, but otherwise it's the same: no midis.
My audio card is a piece of ...., an Ensoniq, with the faked "Sound Blaster" name. It's an Audio PCI128, a putrid synthesizer of SB sound, but crappy as it is, it used to play this DMOD. I've diddled with my configs, to no avail. I also use W98SE. 126MB RAM 2.2Ghz Celeron chip - 40G free - plenty of HD space.
Can you give me some clues what to do?
In addition, when the game loads, it always has programming comments in the upper left corner of every screen. How can I get rid of those?
I've just downloaded the latest version of PQ. Does it incorporate all the earlier patches? I may be lacking an older patch. My game is still v. 1.32. Might that be part of the problem?
You're one talented guy, Simon. I hope your work pays off with a great job.
