REALLY WEIRD BGM ERROR IN RM2K. -PROBLEM SOLVED-

CloseRight after I downloaded the Rpg Maker 2000 RTP 1.32 optional extension, something really weird started to happen to BGMs. They won't play in a test run of the game or by opening the BGM selector. But the weird part is, if I open up another file in Windows Media player, I can then hear the song being played on top of the file I originally told Windows Media player to open.
At first I thought it had something to do with setting Windows Media Player as the default program for Midi files. So, I went and fixed that. They still won't play.
It was working fine before this download. I also imported some BGMs, but I did that after this problem first occurred. Is anybody familiar with this, or should I just give up and re-download RM2K? I only needed the contents of the RTP 1.32 to play somebody else's game, but I can get rid of it now.
Any suggestions?

This happened to me as well and i remember it having something to do with my computer settings. Something was missing in the settings menu.
I'm afraid that doesn't help me much. You say it was your computer settings? That could mean a great deal of things. Music drivers? Settings on Windows Media Player? I doubt it's a hardware or driver problem, because it was working fine up until I made those recent downloads. (which I've already removed, it still doesn't work.) And I can't remember changing any settings in any programs before it stopped working....
What really confuses me is that I can hear the song that is supposed to be playing whenever windows media player is also playing a file. I have no idea what could be causing that.
I'll look around at my speaker and windows media player settings one more time, though, just to be sure. If you have any other ideas, I'd love to hear them.

I have SORT OF the same same thing happen to me every now and then. Now...it might not be anything like what happens to you, but I shall explain my situation.
Some times, when I open up RPG Maker 2000 and click a music file to play...it will just not work. I had this problem occur a few times in the past, but back then I did not know what to do to fix it. I would open it and close it...but STILL nothing. Then I just went to VGmusic.com, played another midi, and then tried to play a song with RPG Maker and it started working again.
Strange, yes...but it still happens to me on rare occasions.

You know... I, too, made a trip to VG music before this problem occurred as well.
Hmm. I'll look into this. Thank you.
Edit: Nope, didn't do anything. What program did you use to listen to the midi file from the website?

Ah, I see. Then you must have a different problem, then.
And I used Windows Media Player.

1. You shouldn't use the RTP 1.32 thing. It's an unofficial package and most people don't use it.
2. Try restarting your machine. Sometimes MIDI hardware is very finicky and screws up playback.

Your audio drivers are probably tied up by other software. Some soundcards will not interface their drivers with more than one program at a time. You might have had Media Player and RPGMaker open at the same time, which can cause conflicts on such cards.
Thank you all for your time. I've gotten rid of the RTP 1.3 already, I didn't really need it, and I restarted my computer as the problem first occurred... as for audio drivers, I'm not sure, because I've had both programs open before without this problem occurring- and the problem persists independent of whether or not both programs are open.
I'll keep at it, and let you guys know if I get anything. Once again, thanks for the help.
(I'm thinking it's probably just windows software trying to but in on everything like it always does.... I'll fiddle a bit and check up on here later.)
Edit: Well, it mysteriously fixed itself. I was listening to a midis in WMP, set off the repeat option, and let it finish and stop... meanwhile the file I had told it to play in RPG maker was still playing. I close WMP, the file keeps playing. Success! And now it works just fine.
I'm not sure if that's what fixed it, though.
