MUSIC PROBLEMS

First off, I have Vista, so this could be entirely the fault of my operating system. I'd like to check, so...

For some reason, certain music files don't play correctly--all you hear are the background drumbeats. There's no real consistency I can see, but the same music files mess up every time, and its happened more than once so I don't think it's a problem with bugs or anything. All other music files work, including MIDIs. Does anyone know what's going on?
I have similar problems- except only with some MIDIs. It's really cost me a lot of good songs.
I too have Vista, but I can't think of anything in the OS (unless it's a bad kernel..?) that would cause this- it's more likely the type of audio cards that come with the computers that also come with Vista.

However, that's just my guess/assumption.
Looks like we have the same problem!

Guess there's no way to fix it, then. Oh well.

MIDIs are pretty shifty sometimes. The problem with them, is that it's completely hardware dependant. On my desktop, I have to turn the software synth on because the hardware MIDI gets stuck on notes randomly.
Do you know if you can adjust the MIDI synth on Vista? I was able to do it on Windows XP, but on Vista there doesn't really seem to be an option...
I've had similar problems with MIDIs, like some won't play the drum beat, some will have random tempos, and some will skip the first 5 seconds of the song. Far as I can tell, only way to fix it is to recreate it or find another version online. I have yet to find another way to fix them...
