NOTADOCTOR'S PROFILE

Hi, there!

I've been trying to get winmm - the default #0 windows midi synth to work on Windows 8.1; my attempts to use coolsoft's midi mapper have failed me, and I've found my way here.

Weirdly, RM2K/2K3 were working just fine not so long ago; I don't believe I've updated anything that would mess with winmm, but it doesn't work/render in winamp, either. Microsoft Synth does, however, so if I can just get windows to automatically point to that, it'd be ideal.

I've tried moving a working copy of winmm I use for Quake into sys32/sys64 but even with permissions temporarily granted (ownership taken) it won't let me? I'm at the end of my rope here, and any advice'd be appreciated, thanks!
