Whenever I try to view a video that is a flash file on any browser of mine I
cant get any audio. This issue has been occuring for a long time and its
getting quite frustrating as lots of sites now use flash video, such as
youtube. I've tried reinstalling my flash video program and getting a new one
time and time again. This doesnt solve the problem. I believe the problem may
have to do with a file I shouldnt have deleted. A few years ago I foolishly
was trying to clear disk space on my computer and deleted a lot of files
because of it. Its my guess that something I deleted was what caused audio for
flash video files. Is there anything you guys recommend I install that might
fix this problem? Thanks a lot.

I'm haveing the same problem with a PC I just purchused. I've installed Flash
Player 9. Uninstalled it. Reinstalled it. Nothing seems to work. Video works
great, just no sound on any web page. Every other audio program works fine.

***A word to the wise:

While these step by step instructions will help anyone without any prior
knowledge of computers whatsoever...the very first thing you should do is set a
'Restore Point' so that if you experience any problems, you can 'roll back'
your computer to where it was 'BEFORE' you started messing with the system
registry. For the complete 'Newbie' here's how to do that:

1. Click 'Start'
2. Go to(point with mouse but don't click) 'All Programs'
3. Go to 'Accessories'
4. Go to 'System Tools'
5. Click 'System Restore'
6. Click 'Create A Restore Point'
7. Click 'Next'
8. Type 'Whatever you want...be creative and have fun' [I use 'Just messing
with my system registry'] ;)
9. Click 'Create'
10. Follow whatever instructions your computer dictates...(for example
'Restart' etc.)

Notes:

These notes pertain to a 'PC' running 'Windows XP Home Edition' with service
pack 2, 'Internet Explorer 7' and 'Macromedia 9' installed. Where I refer to
clicking in the above instructions; every 'PC' out of the box I've ever seen
MUST be 'double clicked'. I've set mine to single clicking in case anyone tries
to ask me, "Don't you mean 'double click'?" Further, and this is for the
'Newbie', when you 'click' your mouse, it's mostly using the 'left' button.
Therefore, I've specifically stated to 'right click' wherever it was required.
Have fun with your computer and don't get stressed out...anytime you have a
problem just remember you're probably not alone and someone 'out there' will
have a solution for you. One easy way is to go to http://www.Google.com and
type your 'problem' in the search box. Cheers...
