Backround music won't play in any browser I have a Toshiba Laptop with Windows XP SP2, and I am experiencing some problems with basically every browser I have. By the way, the browsers I have are IE, Firefox, Opera, and Netscape.
Problem:
The backround music doesn't play on websites for some reason.....I go to it...it shows on the bottom that it is downloading the music file, but it doesn't play. There is no problem with the file hoster of the music since the backround music works on my other computer. I don't think it is any virus, spywares, or other nasties since I restored my computer like 2 days ago. The backround music use to work though before I restored it....so this is a recent problem. Any suggestions will gladly be accepted. !!!!

Sounds like you don't have a media player or the codecs nessary to play the music.
You should take time to update to the latest WMP and you might want to try getting winamp as well

Firefox: no, its not the end all solution, it has its own issues and in time it will be just as insecure as IE, when its hit Firefox 6, if it makes it that far. Oh, and AOL pays for it, incase you didn't know.
Microsoft & Windows: If you hate it so much, move to linux, or bsd, or anything else, stop complaning and move on.

Like I said before, the music just doesn't play in the browser. I have alot of codecs on my computer, especially for music. And I already have WMP10 and Winamp, so I don't think that can be the problem. One extra thing I forgot to mention, it says its downloading the file on the bottom, but it doesn't play. But when I put in the link of the music file that was supposed play in the web address bar and press enter, it plays perfectly. Your probably thinking that something is blocking it, but I took that off the list when I found out that none of the browsers I have play it. I already tried disabling windows firewall and any other thing that could interfere, but no luck. Any other suggestions? !!!!

Well, in my case (although I like music), I am trying to fix this problem because it could be related with other problems which have not yet been discovered.
EX: Lets say it was caused by a security issue(which its not), then that problem could have been affecting other things as well like blocking them or something.
Well whatever :p , lets get back on topic.....any suggestions? !!!!

Like I said in my first post:
So it isn't a problem with the browser, and the resetting the web settings thing, I tried that already but it didn't work. I tried it again right now, but no luck. Thanks for trying though; I would gladly accept any other suggestions. !!!!

Sorry for the double post, but recently cleaned my system of viruses, trojans, spyware and adware, and I've ran a scan with PC Bug Doctor and registry mechanic, but I have had no luck. I would be thankful if I can get some suggestions on this issue. !!!!
