I followed your instruction about the sound and the SNDREC32.EXE is not on the list.
Anyway, before I've read you message, I uninstalled AOL and reinstalled it. I got
the sounds but in the sound folder of AOL there are the icons of Real Play, which
it supposed to be the icon you put on this message.
I don't know if the Real Player was installed when I purchased the computer or it
came with some other program that I installed. Would it be a good advise to remove
it from the computer?
As I mentioned before, some of the sounds of Lotus program are not having the icon
that you put it on this message. There were there before. I know because I saw them.
There is only the name of the sound and when I click on it, there is not sound. I
can uninstalled the Lotus program and reinstall it, and maybe it is going to work.
Thanks for your reply.
Marina.
