no midi in windows server 2003 SP1

I recently upgraded to Windows server 2003 sp1 and its taken the music tab out of dxdaig and because of that i have no midi at all anymore and i only found this out when i went to play final fantasy 8 pc version

Yes it is true that Windows Server 2003 was not meant to play games on. Why people continually try to put a square peg in a round hole is beyond me.

It was there before i upgraded to sp1 but actually all my games run faster on win2k3 than xp

maybe so but by definition, Windows Server 2003 is designed to be just that - a server, not a desktop OS.

As it seems a service pack issue, you could try calling MS and asking for support on that i.e.

Was there before SP1 and now after installing SP1 it isnt there?

as I'm led to believe from other posts that you can get free support for issues relating to installing Service Pack's.

One thing, is the audio driver(s) still installed correctly?
