Sound from web site

[Oscar]

Hi,

Can someone please help. I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop running xp
home and with IE 7 and I can't get the sound to work on some websites
and I have no idea why. The sound works fine when I play games, cd's
and from websites where you down load video clips.

It will not work and never has worked from sites like BBC Topgear
which plays a little video clip when you go onto the site, Hornby
which has a station seen with sound. My 8 year old desktop running
windows 2000 and IE 6 works as it should. I also can't get any sound
from any youtube video clip, but again my desk top can.

Please does somebody out there know how I can put this right it's
really annoying me.

Thanks


Oscar

No, but thanks for your help anyway. Turns out to be a problem with
flash player, have got a fix from the adobe web site forums, had to
add a missing folder and file into the registry and all works fine.
