Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! However, I can't figure out how
to play the sounds on the sounds tab. I've double clicked and right
clicked - so what should I do to play the sound?

None of the options is "I'm hearing something I don't expect to hear"
or anything close. LOL

but feeling
:(

My gut instinct is to just turn off the computer and let it fix itself
- EXCEPT I got a nasty message tonight from Windows File Protection
telling me that files required for Windows to run properly have been
replaced by unrecognized versions and to maintain system stability,
Windows must restore the original version of thise files.

I get a window that says "inset your (no mention of what) now" When I
click on "more information" it just asks me if I want to keep these
unrecognized fil versions.

This computer came with Media Center on it, but I had an earlier
version of windows installed (legally) over 6 months ago so I could
still have my beloved office toolbar. There was no problem up to now,
so I don't think I have a conflict.

However, I still have the cannon sound.. I don't know how to play
sounds in sounds/audio devices properties and I don't know what CD the
computer wants me to insert at this point... so I'm at an impass.

TIA
