Once again I forgot to check to make sure the spacing was okay. I just assume it
will be posted as I wrote it. The box that says "to preserve spacing" says not to
check it unless you really need it".
Apparently without it, the message all runs together with no paragraphs and breaks?
Why not make spacing the way it was written the DEFAULT on the board? Like other
boards seem to do?
I'm going to respace it and check the box this time and hope it comes out okay....

no sound in Win Media Player

I put this in SEARCH (here) and came up with many posts about it, but they seemed
to be more WIN 2000 and up, and no clear (or any) answers. I have WMP9 installed,
and it works fine, except there's no sound.
When I play online clips I usually see them but no sound. Everything I can find is
turned up. When I try playing CDs from the D drive, (or audio files I have saved)
error boxes come up saying there is no sound card, or another program is using it.
I've tried older versions of WMP, and the same thing.
Someone suggested I run tests for the directX and the sound test failed. But I never
learned what to do to fix it. And I have sound, everything else (sound) works, and
other player programs do. Just not with WMP.
I have Real Player, which plays audio files but not the CDs. It says it has to have
an update or plugin, and will contact their homepage to get it. Then says what I
need isn't available. I also have used WinAmp, which works with my sound files AND
CDs, but isn't an option for clicking on websites (usually only RealAudio, WMP or
one of them is). This started because I was given a link to webcasts of news from
around the world. It said Real Audio player or WMP was required. At the time I was
using WinAmp (which seemed to work for my audio files and CDs). Right now Real Audio
plays the sound files, and the "generic" (I think it came with WIN) CD PLAYER (which
is in ENTERTAINMENT) plays the CDs.
I've tried taking out and changing and changing the settings (default) to, and installing
older models. I have WIN 98 SE (hp Brio). I'm sure I had both WMP and Real Player
in at one time. In the 2 years I've had this computer I've reinstalled WIN 98 SE
two different times.
What I'd like is a player that I can use for everything. Audio files, CDs and webcasts/
videos I might find online to click on and open. I like the new WMP, how you can
open it to full screen, and the visuals. But, if I could get Real Player to work
for everything (or anything else for that matter) I could use that. Also, I'd like
to find out why WMP (any version of it) says there's an error with the sound. No
soundcard or another program is using it. I've tried taking everything out BUT the
WMP and it still says this. Only the little generic WIN CD PLAYER was in. I don't
want to take that out, because it's sometimes the only program that I can play CDs
with. And I might have to reinstall WIN again to get it back.
I also have a cd burner (hp) and software that came with that (RECORD NOW) and NERO
(I downloaded but haven't figure out, so don't use). And CDex I've been using to
record cassette tapes onto the computer and then making CDs from them. How do I find
out what, if anything is clashing, or using whatever WMP is supposed to use?
Thanks,
Carrie
