Summary:
If you run the MCITEST sample program included with Microsoft
Professional Toolkit for Microsoft Visual Basic 1.0 for Windows and
receive the error message
The device is not open or is not known
it is possible that you have not installed the multimedia movie player
driver that is on Disk 1 of the Professional Toolkit. These drivers
are not automatically installed because of their large sizes. If you
need these files, you must install them using the Windows Control
Panel.
This information applies to Microsoft Professional Toolkit for
Microsoft Visual Basic version 1.0 for Windows.
More Information:
The drivers needed to run the animation portion of the MCITEST are
MCIMMP.DLL and MMP.DLL. These files are archived on Disk 1 of the
Visual Basic Professional Toolkit. To install these drivers, you must
use the Windows 3.1 Control Panel. If you have Multimedia Extensions
for Windows 3.0, you must rename the following files on Disk 1 before
installing using the Control Panel:
MCIMMP.DL_ to MCIMMP.DLL
MMP.DL_ to MMP.DLL
To install the drivers, do the following:
1. Run Control Panel from the Windows Program Manager either by
clicking on the icon or by choosing Run from the File menu.
2. In the Control Panel, double-click on the Drivers icon.
3. In the Drivers dialog box, choose the Add button.
4. In the Add dialog box, select Unlisted or Updated Driver and choose
the OK button.
5. In the Install Driver dialog box, specify the drive containing Disk
1 of the Visual Basic Professional Toolkit, and choose the OK
button.
6. In the Add Unlisted or Updated Driver dialog box, select the
"[MCI] Multimedia Movie Player" driver and choose the OK button.
The driver is now installed. You should now be able to run the
animation portion of the MCITEST program.
