| 73406 | 2002-08-23 09:21:00 | I have just bought a new computer running Windows XP Pro and have installed Netscape 6.2.3 on it. I have discovered that when I go to an URL that has sound (midi files) I am not getting any sound. However, if I go to the same URL in Windows Explorer the sound is there. I have Winamp and Real Player on the computer. Is there anyone that can help? On my old computer I was running Netscape Communicator and had no problems getting sound. | Oxie (1318) | ||
