3. Type 'system32' (click 'OK')
4. Click 'Macromed'
5. Click 'Flash'
6. Click 'FlashUtil9b'
7. Click 'Install Now' (Adobe Update)
8. Restart computer


If the problem persists:

1. Click 'start'
2. Click 'run'
3. Type 'regedit'
4. Click 'My Computer'
5. Click 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE'
6. Click 'SOFTWARE'
7. Click 'Microsoft'
8. Click 'Windows NT'
9. Click 'CurrentVersion'
10. Right click 'Drivers32'
11. Go to 'new' and click 'string value'
12. Type 'wavemapper'
13. Click 'Enter'
14. Right click 'wavemapper'
15. Click 'Modify'

21. Click 'Enter'
22. Right click 'midimapper'

24. Type 'midimap.dll'
25. Click 'OK'
26. Close the registry editor
27. Enjoy your videos with sound (Restart not necessary)


***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 tell 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
probem 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 in your 'problem' in the search box. Cheers... :beer;

There's many things you can 'try', of course I'll have to guess what kind of
system you have, and what kind of sound card etc. because you didn't provide me
with any info to go on. Saying that, perhaps you can try some basics...is your
speakers/headphones plugged into the right hole. Is your volume turned up. Is
your volume muted? Remember, the instructions I've provided are for a 'PC'
running Windows XP with Internet Explorer 7. Is that what you are using? If so,
and you are still not getting any sound:
1. Go to 'Start'
2. Go to 'Control Panel'
3. Go to 'Administrative Tools'
4. Click 'Services' and make sure the 'Windows Audio' has 'started' in the
'status' column
These are some things you can 'try' but because I'm not there and can't see
what's going on I can't really help you much more than that. There are too many
variables for me to have to consider. Good luck...
