Even though you may have revamped everything while you were doing so the
DRIVER for your SOUND card may have gone through many incarnatiuon So ,
you need to know the king of sound card you have AND go to their Web
Site and download any upgrades. Lastly, I know what you had worked
before BUT sound files are huge only visual files (photos) are bigger.
512K is minimal RAM. THe king of CPU ypou have can affect sound (is it
part of your motherboard-inregrated-thus no sound cars" Lastly, you did
go to Conbtrol Panel and look at ALL your sound control choices-you can
check the wroing box and hear weird sounds forever, Goods Luck
