AUDIO HELP:

It's now easier than ever to demo audio. Each demo has it's own player with used Java Script. All you have to do is click on the button and the player will expand and begin. The "play" button will become a "pause" button if you want to stop the demo. When the demo finishes playing the player will close. To repeat a play just click the button again.

If your browser or operating system doesn't allow java, there is another way to listen. Just click on the word "here" where it reads "(Download here)". Most times your default audio player will open and play the file. You'll see a screen (like the one to the right or one like it) which will give two choices. One will be 'Open file from it's current location'. This means it will play the audio from MY web site and not download to your computer. The next option is 'Save file to disk'. This will allow you to download the file and store it on your computer the same way you would text or pictures. If you choose this and a player pops up and you hear audio, then you're fine. If not, it'll ask you to choose a player to play the file. If your Windows Media player doesn't start up and begin to play you may need (or want) to install a third party player.

Sometimes when you don't hear any sound, before you panic, try this. (I know these things sound crazy...but you'd be surprised at how often, it's the simplest things.) Check to be sure your speakers are plugged into your computer. If they use power, then check to see that they're connected to an outlet and are turned on. Also check your system tray on the bottom right of your screen. You'll see Icons that look something like this. Click on the volume control or the speaker to be sure the sound isn't being muted. You'll see a slider that looks something like this.

I hope this helps. These instructions are mainly for Windows 98. Windows XP is very multimedia friendly, and should have no problem in launching the audio by itself.
