Sound doesn't play on HP Memories CD

[Bob Wilcox]

HP Memories CD creates a slide show of images complete with background
sound. I can hear the sound on all computers that I have tried except my
own.

The sound file is in a music directory and the HTML looks like

<EMBED SRC="../../../CONTENT/BG_A0001.MP3"
BGSOUND="../../../CONTENT/BG_A0001.MP3" HIDDEN="TRUE" LOOP="TRUE"
AUTOSTART="TRUE">

It looks like IE doesn't like the ../../ path to the sound file.

I think I have all the updates to IE. Here is my IE info:

Version: 6.0.2800.1106.xpsp2.030422-1633
Cipher Strength: 128-bit
Update Versions:; SP1; Q328970; Q324929; Q810847;
Q813951; Q328389; Q816506; Q813489; Q330994;
Q818529; Q822925; Q828750;

Just wondering why it plays on other computers, is it possible that there is
a later version of IE or what?

HP has replied:

While viewing the Memories Disc through the Internet Explorer browser,
the music is played using the media player application. In this
scenario, the media player version 9 does not support Memories Disc and
hence you are unable to hear the music file.

I recommend you try viewing the memories disc as a VCD, you will be able
to hear the music as the CD has been properly burnt.
