| 104747 | 2002-12-10 04:50:00 | I run IE6, Netscape 7 Outlook Express 6 on a Pentium 4. I find that when I send and/or receive E-cards I cannot get the music attached to them. (But I believe that the ones I send have music which can be heard). I have MediaPlayer and Real Player and regularly listen to radio stations without any problem. Any help would be gratefully received. | poppy (552) | ||
| 104748 | 2002-12-10 05:49:00 | Poppy, Can you hear any midi files when you visit a webpage that play midi files? If you are unsure visit homepages.ihug.co.nz and see if you can hear the music in both IE6 and Netscape 7. |

| 104750 | 2002-12-10 21:57:00 | homepages.ihug.co.nz Check all volume settings. Click on the volume icon near the clock, or go to control panel - sounds - advanced. There can be up to 14 volume controls in some systems, particularly check "wave" settings, that there are no ticks in "mute" and that the sliders are not at the bottom. |

| 104751 | 2002-12-11 23:09:00 | sorry to take so long to get back to you. Am still having trouble. It appears that I either have no midi files on my hard drive or what is there might be corrupt. My friendly (overworked) computer technician told me to go to a web site and download. How do I download others, can you run this by step by step? Thanks a million. | poppy (552) | ||
| 104752 | 2002-12-12 00:38:00 | The "files" are the driver files for your soundcard (or motherboard, for on-board sound) To be able to direct you to the site, we need to know what motherboard is in your computer, or what sound card you have. You could start by telling us what type of PC it is. If its a "brand name" (HP, Packard Bell, Compaq etc) then also the exact model number (such as HP 8208) and any other details you may have. If it was a "built to order" PC, then you should have a manual for the motherboard which will have the type on it. One step at a time. Did you find ALL the volume controls? |

| 104753 | 2002-12-12 00:39:00 | Poppy, did you check the link Godfather posted (my correct URL) to see if you could hear the midi file? When someone sends you an e-card the midi is attached, so you would not have it on your computer before the card arrived. You need to establish if you can play midi files. | Oxie (1318) | ||
| 104754 | 2002-12-12 02:47:00 | yes i accessed the correct web addess and no I did not hear any midi files. I have a P4 Titan socket 478 motherboard which is only months old. my computer is a made up one from Millenium Technology in Hamilton. | poppy (552) | ||
| 104755 | 2002-12-12 02:50:00 | P.S I don't think I found ALL the volume controls. I'm a bit thick when it comes to groping round the functions of a computer | poppy (552) | ||
| 104756 | 2002-12-12 02:55:00 | the odds are you have a sound card that dosn't play midi files. go into mulitmedia prooperties and look under midi and see if anything is listed. otherwise get a sound card that plays midi. otherwise post details of sound card, OS etc. |
