don't know which one...but the file i was trying to play was a .wav file anyway.
by the way, which is the program called by the code ?
i mean ..wmp.dll or anything else ?
First i tried with a form in which i loaded a windows mediaplayer object , i mean an OLE object and it worked
actually i was trying to skip all that big application I don't need but i had this problem
