I think we're on the right track...

I tried with just the two lines you mentioned as my system.ini, and the
app starts and then hangs.   These are the messages at the bottom:

trace:mmsys:mciSendCommandA (00000001, MCI_GETDEVCAPS, 00000102, 4054637c)
trace:mciwave:MCIWAVE_DriverProc (00000001, 40357F30, 0000080B, 00000102, 4054637C)

I also tried the system.ini from documentation/samples/.  Same messages.
Although I no longer get any messages about MCI_LoadDriver failing to load.
Any ideas what else I could be missing? 
thanks,
tom
