I have my cookies enabled. I have checked and double checked everything, and I cannot get to listen to the lesson sound clips!! :(

This is such an awesome site, I really want to use the learning program here. Any help woud be really appreciated..

I'm using I.E. 5.5, windows media player, or Real Player.

I've gotten a handful of email from people who experience this problem. The only thing that seems to run in common is using Real Player, but I honestly don't know why most people have no problem and a few do have a problem with the sound files.

The first step is to try saving the sound files to you hard drive and see if they will play from there. Just right click on the link and choose "Save target as..."

Another thing is to make sure that you can play MIDI files. Most of the sound files are MIDI.

I'm beginning to suspect that having Real Player set itself up as the default player for most media types is causing problems on people's computers. You might want to re-associate .mid, .mp3 and .wav files with the Windows media player instead of having Real Player handle those files.

Here's how:

In My Computer or Windows Explorer, on the View menu, click Folder Options.

Click the File Types tab.

In the list of file types, click the one you want to change.

Click Edit.

In Actions, click Open.

Click Edit.

In Application used to perform action, enter the program you want to use to open files that have this extension, and then click OK.

Thanks dude. I've figured it out. Real Player is not a MIDI player. If any other folks have a problem, send them to this site and have them down load this free player. :D
