Scanned for malware lately?

If this is a recent problem, you could do a System Restore to last date available when things were ok. Personal files won't be lost, but any Microsoft updates or other software originally installed after the date used for the Restore will have to be reinstalled.

Click Start>help&Support
Click "Undo changes..."
Follow prompts and pick latest date when you know it was ok. Assuming that fixes the problem, immediately go to MS update site and let it scan your system for missing updates.

Yes i have done the system restoration and also loaded the previously loaded softwares but it didnt work. I am havng zonealarm security suite installed on my Machine also AVG antispyware so i keep on scanning for the things once a week atleast... still not getting the audio..... i have tried to use some of the codec pacs like K-lite full version and also tried running it on different players but its not working somehow.....   If required i can send the driver details and everything.....but i need to fix up the things.....

Try uninstalling (add/remove programs control panel) and then reinstalling the latest version of the player. Ron

Can someone tell me what SWF extensions are? Is that Flash player? I can't open them. Can I install this? Where do I go to do that. I am new here and dont know if I will get a personal email answer or if I have to return to this forum. Please reply to my email address: Modemania@aol.com Thanks

Try the Swiff player (free)   http://www.globfx.com/products/swfplayer/

Or, you can download latest free Adobe Shockwave Player
And, latest free Adobe Flash Player

After you've installed them, restart your browser and go here to test that they work correctly:
Test Shockwave and Flash Players

These are plug-ins for your browser to allow it to play certain types of video files, and use features of some websites, including on this forum to access "Resources" in lower lefthand corner.
