SUMMARY
=======

When you upgrade from Microsoft Windows 3.0 with Multimedia Extensions 1.0 to
Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1, Setup renames MIDIMAP.CFG to
MIDIMAP.OLD.

MORE INFORMATION
================

The Windows 3.1 upgrade renames the current MIDI patch map file MIDIMAP.CFG to
MIDIMAP.OLD and installs the MIDI patch map for the AdLib card. This will work
correctly with any MIDI synthesizer that is AdLib compatible.

If MIDI files played correctly under the earlier installation of Microsoft
Windows 3.0 with Multimedia Extensions 1.0 and the MIDI files do not play
correctly after upgrading to Windows 3.1, rename the MIDIMAP.OLD file located in
the WINDOWS\SYSTEM to MIDIMAP.CFG.
