Click Tools and then Internet Options

AskWoody LoungerHi John,
You were absolutely correct – while nothing seemed to be wrong, everything was enabled and functioning properly – did as you suggested and went to knowledge base – searched – there was an article about no sound after installation – bingo – system sounds were off – one click and it worked.
Thanks!!
Peace.

AskWoody LoungerHi Big Al,
Sadly – nothing I am doing seems to be doing the job. The mute boxes are not checked, the devices are operating properly, the speakers are on. Didn’t have the box off during reinstall and the speakers worked prior to it. Thanks for your help – I am at a loss.

AskWoody LoungerHi Joe,
Thanks – ran Norton and then this morning did what you advised – downloaded MS03-26 – then KB833330 – didn’t work the other way around. I am grateful for your help. I am learning!!! I suspect the Blaster worm likely caused me all sorts of trouble and I addressed it by the clean install. With any luck, it won’t revisit, now.
Peace.

Thanks for the help – an A/V scan is the Norton Scan (I hope)? I will run it now.

AskWoody LoungerJohn,
Thanks very much. While I don’t know too much about either Win98 or XP, I am grateful for the feedback. Alas, I am hopeful the fix will work as it is annoying to find my moden has decided not to release the line as I have only one . . . all too few phone calls to be sure, but if needed, someone should be able to get through and I find that I fail to check it faithfully . . . I should perhaps develop better habits – thanks again.
Peace.
