(v) Done


TIPS:

- left click icon to pull up control bar

- right click icon to either adjust Audio Properties or open Volume Control Panel

- Internet style Keyboards have mute and volume controls

13098 2005-03-23 17:49:00 What type of sound-card are you using? Or is it an integrated one? Can you enter the "Sounds, Speech, Audio devices" section under the control panel? And can you enter "Sounds And Audio devices" under that section? At which stage does it ask you to "add programs"? Since you are using Xp, you might want to consider upgrading your WMP to version 10. Cheers :) Renmoo (66)
