And remember . . . always read the FAQ first !
You also now have the further options of checking out each individual forum's "Read This First" section; and you can also visit the "Tech Support's Greatest Hits" forum for even more FAQ's.
Also, please only post your question in one of the forums, preferably
the one that you feel is the most relevant. Posting in more than one
forum is what we refer to as crossposting and is not cool whatsoever !
If no-one has answered your question after a few days and your thread
disappears off the first page, simply post a reply in the same thread
to bring it back to the top again. A simple "Please help, anyone ?"
will suffice, unless you can add any more info to help us further.

If none of the above are of any help, then please try the search facility before posting a new thread.
It's still quite possible that your question has already been asked & answered before.
Examples of some of the more popular search keywords:
MMSYSTEM032; MMYSTEM002; MMSYSTEM004; Invalid page fault; kernel32.dll;
msvcrt.dll; Playlist size/resizing (pe_width / pe_height); Line-in commands; etc.
And remember . . . always read the FAQ first !
You also now have the further options of checking out each individual forum's "Read This First" section; and you can also visit the "Tech Support's Greatest Hits" forum for even more FAQ's.
Also, please only post your question in one of the forums, preferably
the one that you feel is the most relevant. Posting in more than one
forum is what we refer to as crossposting and is not cool whatsoever !
If no-one has answered your question after a few days and your thread
disappears off the first page, simply post a reply in the same thread
to bring it back to the top again. A simple "Please help, anyone ?"
will suffice, unless you can add any more info to help us further.
