Ok, while listening to audio on my Windows Media player, V 11.0, my audio on
the WMP AND my system is completely muted immediatly after arriving at
websites such as weatherchannel.com, atlantafalcons.com, or any website that
appears to be running some type of Java or extraneous video or
graphics....Now, sometimes it will happen and sometimes it won't. But when
it does happen, it ALWAYS occurs after I have just arrived at an "offending"
site and usually just after IE has just blocked a pop-up. The audio never
returns unless I restart my system...Now, sometimes the audio returns after I
close IE but it is very rare...I have checked all my connections, cords,
etc.....when the problem occurs, it always does so after arriving at certain
websites and returns after a restart.... I am to the point that I tend to
avoid sites I really want to visit because I'm afraid the audio i'm listening
to will be killed and I'll need to restart.....



This problem has occurred even after a few repartions of my system!!
Problem did not seem to appear after any Windows updates......I'm very VERY
sick of this... Please help!



System: Dell Dimensions

Windows XP SP 3
 
Hi.Idon,t know if this will help,but i,ve had a prb like that
before.Sometimes programs use popups for video.You might want to try turning
off popup blocker.I rarely have mine on for that purpose alone.It can be more
annoying than the popups.Another thing you will find is that you have to have
the latest java to run alot of programs.Go to java.com and download the
latest version of java this might help.PS.It,s a free download.Hope this
helps.TERRY
