Hi guy, Please see the note: Note: from MSDN shareable::Initializes the device or file as shareable. Subsequent attempts to open the device or file fail unless you specify "shareable" in both the original and subsequent open commands. MCI returns an invalid device error if the device is already open and not shareable. The MCISEQ sequencer and MCIWAVE devices do not support shared files.
