Can I get some technical help with this

http://www.boston.com/news/necn/Shows/news_night/

The top link 'Iraq War Dominates Campaign Talk' is a video of the TV thing I did last night, but I can't get it to play. Is there something wrong with the page, or with my machine?

Edited on Thu Sep-23-04 01:33 PM by johnnie

28. I am going to say it is your audio setup

The commercial is in stereo, the show is only on the right side. Try to listen to the commercial and see if it is only coming from one speaker. If it is, then you might have one bad side, and you can maybe check to see if you have the balance set on your soundcard to the middle.
You might be able to change the audio cable too, if you only hear the commercial come from one speaker. make sense?

35. Did you listen to the commercial again?

If you only hear it coming from one speaker, then your other side is bad. Could be the speaker or the cable. You can wiggle the plug that is going in to your soundcard too. That might help. Pull it out and stick it back in a few times.
The settings for your soundcard should be on the task bar by the clock. It looks like a little speaker. Double click that and check the balance.

Good job, Will....

Who WAS that moran who just spoke so cavalierly about just "going into Falujah and leveling it" ?

Death is liberating, I guess....What do they want, life or liberation??? God! How selfish. Sheeesh!
