I guess you, like me, have one of those motherboards with an on-board
sound card.  Most of these sound cards don't have a MIDI sequencer
chip.  So it's very hard, if not impossible, to play MIDI files using
those softwares that require a hardware sequencer to be available -at
least I couldn't make it work.

I have a bunch of old MIDI files which I play frequently; and to play
them I use 'timidity' (ports/audio).  That has a software sequencer
built in -no hardware required- and the output quality is good; not as
great as a hardware playback but it's good.
