wine users - Sep 2001 - Newbe Question

Greetings,

Can anyone tell me what to do about "Can't open MIDI device
'/dev/sequencer'!
(No such device): Load MIDI sequencer kernel driver !" ?

Is there a way to do this without recompiling my kernel?  I have sound 
working for everything else.  I get this message whenever I try to run 
any M$-Office app, such as M$-Word.  Lotus Notes v5, et. al. work fine.  
I'm a newbe at sound and kernel drivers.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Are you sure that you need to play Midi sounds in MsWord
and Lotus Notes ? Why not ignore this message ?
IIRC this message is displayed only with very old
Wine versions. I'd say to upgrade but Wine is currently
in bad shape for many apps :-/
