System.Media.SoundPlayer problems in 98

[lvolle]

I wrote the code a while ago and everything works fine on all of the machines I've installed it on. I am now trying to put it on the daycare's old pentium 3 with win98. I wrote it in VB.Net 2005 and installed .net framework 2.0. When the sounds are supposed to play, I get nothing. No sound, No error, no nothing.. Here is the code. Any ideas?

Sub PlaySound(ByVal Filex As String)
        Dim Sound As New System.Media.SoundPlayer()
        Sound.SoundLocation = Filex
        Sound.Load()
        Sound.Play()
    End Sub

Does System.Media.SoundPlayer come from the framework (I think it does ) or from the OS?

here is an example of how I am calling this

FormMain.PlaySound(System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory.ToString & "Counting\Question1.wav")

It does come from the framework, but the framework also relies on the OS for many things. It is possible that Win98 does have have what the framework is looking for in this instance.

I want to state this is only an hypothesis.
