I've heard that it's my soundcard. Is there a program or something that I can download to subvert the soundcard to make .mid files not sound like crap? --------------------

And there really isn't much you can do to circumvent the midis sounding like crap. Now if you were to install at the very least Windows 2000/ME on the laptop, something in the programming upgrades the soundcard to make MIDIs sound more realistic. -------------------- Currently seeking talented and dedicated Python users for assistance with an important project.

Whoa, you already have XP on there and they still sound like old MIDIs?

I've got nothing else then, because the card upgrades were from ME on up ):

If you ask for help you must accept that which you are given, don't be an ass if it doesn't work.

My only suggestion is to get a new PC/soundcard, otherwise, you'll have to live with it. -------------------- [ I am Black Squirrel, read about me \| Blog Squirrel \| The Obscure Ripping Project ] [ SHPDMBGWL4 \| Super MFGG War \| Player Adventure ]
