What's going on here: I've got an SB Pro in a 25 MHz 386 with 16 Mb of
RAM, and have been playing around with a few Windows programs that work
with MIDI files. On more than several occasions I've run into the
following problem: Load a MIDI file into Microsoft's Media Player (the
thing that comes with Windows 3.1) and start it playing; the first one or
two measures play fine, but then the music stops and the system
IMMEDIATELY kicks out of Windows, clears the screen, and gives me a DOS
prompt. After that, keyboard commands seem to work and although I can
start other programs, the mouse is dead (I'm sure other things are
corrupt as well). I've seen WinJammer die in the same way, but the
separate player utility that comes with WinJammer seems to work fine.
Anyone seen this kind of thing before?
