  • Microsoft Windows operating system versions 3.1, 3.11

SUMMARY

To enable the MIDI Sequencer warning dialog generated when attempting to play a non-General MIDI file, edit the SYSTEM.INI file and remove the following line from the [mciseq.drv] section: 

   DisableWarning=TRUE
This line is added when the "Don't display this warning in future" check box is selected in the non-General MINI warning dialog box.

MORE INFORMATION

The MIDI Sequencer driver supplied with Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1 (MCISEQ.DRV) reads the header of all MIDI files before attempting to play them. If the driver does not find the flag indicating that the file is in General MIDI format, it generates a warning message reading: 

   This file may not play correctly with the default MIDI setup.

   [] Don't display this warning in future.
The MIDI Sequencer warning message indicates that the file has not been flagged as General MIDI and may not play properly in Windows 3.1.

If the Don't Disable This Warning In Future check box has been selected, this dialog box will not be evoked when non-General MIDI files are read in the future.
