SYMPTOMS
========
When you try to play a musical instrument digital interface (MIDI) (.MID) or
waveform (.WAV) file using the Sound Finder, you may receive the error message
Could not play file: <filename>
where <filename> is the name of your file.
The message may continue with:
Not enough memory available for this task.
Quit one or more applications to increase available memory, and then try
again.
RESOLUTION
==========
If you are trying to play an .MID file, the cause may be a missing or corrupted
TIMER driver. Run Control Panel and open the Drivers option. If TIMER does not
exist, choose Add and install the TIMER; otherwise, remove it and reinstall the
driver from the Windows disks.
If you are trying to play a .WAV file and receive the second part of the message,
the MMTASK.TSK file found in the Windows SYSTEM subdirectory may be missing or
corrupted.
