Charlie, if these are freebie downloaded midi files, be advised a lot of them suck and need some work. Try double clicking on one with RB closed and see if WMP opens and plays it. If you have your internal laptop synth set to play midi (it's probably the default) then WMP will play it. If WMP plays it then we can look at how you have RB set up because it'll be something simple in your driver setup.
