cant' open multimedia tool in control panel - 98se
Hi I am running windows 98se I have tried to open the multimedia tool in control panel and it will not display the contents. Nothing happens - nor error message etc. It may not have anything to do with it but just before I discovered this I was trying to download the latest directx -9? and a patch regarding bus controllers. The multimedia worked before this. Not sure if I installed directx 9 as I'm having great difficulty finding this out. I found the following on the ms search facility and seems to point that there may be too much infor info in the file for it to display. Problem it says go into the file and take data out - but as it can't be opened it doesn't help. I have had this with another file (not control panel related) and it would not open either. Never found a solution. Any body out there with any ideas? Found on ms search: - Object Is Not Displayed in the Multimedia Tool in Control Panel Applies To This article was previously published under Q220963 IMPORTANT: This article contains information about modifying the registry.
