Cant play any midi files anymore ("Unknown file format")

[Guest leethacker]

Today I was getting some phonecalls, and everything was fine (which means: my standard midi ringtone always played). But this afternoon it happened that my phone started ringing with the windows mobile standard ringtone without any reason.

I thought like "wow, this is weird" and tried to set my midi ringtone again. but guess what! it is not possible anymore! even windows media player cant play any midis anymore (mp3 still works). i always get the error message (Player: \Application Data\Sounds\Nameofmymidi.mid Unknown file format!) when i try to play or open any midi file.

Tried to restart the phone and put out the battery, but this did not help. Is this a know issue? is there a fix for it? maybe a cache overrun? are there any caches or logs i can clear?

Just a guess but might this be related to this problem ?

No, unfortunately I dont think so. It must be something more serious.

When I try to play any midi file in Windows Media Player I always get "Warning. Unknown Error 0XC00D11D2"

What I would do is Google the error code and see what comes up on the newsgroups.

Did it, and the funny thing is ... i found only ppl who had this error message on Windows XP. lol Seems to happen when some codec is missing.

But how can my midi codec be missing? I havent deleted any file!!!

Yes..uh..I was hoping you might find something more useful than I did ! :)

I can't see any way round this other than a hard reset I'm afraid.
