Carolyn Can you hear any midi files? Go to start/find (might be search in w2k)/files and folders and search for *.mid. If you click on them and can't hear anything double click on your speaker icon in the systray at the bottom right of the desktop and check if midi volume is turned down or the mute box is checked. If that doesn't work you might try associating the midi file type with another program. When you click on any of those midi files what program opens to play them? If windows media player doesn't open try right-clicking a midi file and click Properties. In w2k the properties dialog box has a button labeled Change. Click this and the Open With dialog box appears. Select windows media player and files with the midi extension are automatically associated with that app from then on. Let us know if any of this works. tc

I can no longer hear the music in my profile, I think it is your taste in music. I use to like it.<G> Where is the Sarkie bug when you need her? Have you verified that you can hear other peoples profiles or any other sounds?

Carolyn, I run Windows 98, and have both Netscape 4.76 and IE 6. Had no problem with your music in Netscape, but it was not working in IE 6. I have it working now, and I'm 99+% sure this is how I did it: It seems media player has to be enabled for MIDI files. My IE6 invokes mplayer2.exe to play media files. If you find that file, double click on it. Navigate View => Options and select the Formats tab; check the box that says MIDI file, and OK out of the window and close the player. Next time you refresh your profile or anyone else's with a MIDI sound file you should hear it. Not sure what to do if you have another version of Media Player, but it is probably similar. I have Real Player on my machine and it needed to activate some plugin to play the midi files too. So how does one find out how to post images and sound files to their profile? Dan
