Well, closer I guess, at least it doesn't crash VFP6!!

When the ThisForm.ocxAVI.OPEN("xxx.avi") runs I get an error saying "OLE IDispatch exception code 0 from Animation: Unable to open AVI file.."

I tried it with several different .AVI files, and they DO run with the media player. Any ideas?

thisform.ocxAVI.AutoPlay = .t.

>I'm trying to play an .avi video with VFP6 for my splash screen. In VFP5.0a I used a videoframe to do it, but if I run the same thing in VFP6 one of two things happens:
>>>
>>>1) VFP6 gives a GPF error and it crashes, or
>>>2) I get an error saying "276: MMSYSTEM276 The device driver is not ready. Wait a minute and try again". The only thing running on my PC at the time was the VFP6 app.
