Yeah, I kept trying to get the Mci_Play.SCX one to work - which it never did. The MMSample.SCX one (Which is the one that uses the Multimedia player and the hwnd control to play an AVI) I did get to work - so that's how I'm doing it. I'd rather use the other one, but I guess I REALLY rather use the one that works!

>>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.
>>
>>Sooooo... in a desperate attempt to see SOMETHING work today, I went to the solutions.pjx that comes with VFP6 and tried to run the mci_play.scx - same problem.
>>
>>Does anyone have any guesses on this? Or better yet, is there an .avi-ready .scx that works with VFP6 floating around? -Thanks- Victor

>Maybe a little late here... have you looked at the Solutions sample app? the sample uses the Multimedia player and the hwnd control to play an AVI. I have used this several times, it seems to have no problems with large avi files.
