1. You might be presented with the UAC so try pressing alt + Y. 2. Press windows applications key and type the first few characters of the word narrator and press enter. give it a few seconds to load. 3. Get a thumb drive and place a single MP3 file on it. Launch it by pressing something like X:Random.mp3. This will tell you if you have sound coming out of your computer. 4. Go to start menu search and type run followed by enter. Now type the word media and press enter. Press the end key to go to the last wav file and press enter. You should hear the sound effect play. Andre

Someone gave me this laptop with vista and I have no idea if there is something preventing me from functioning on the screen or not. It looks like I'll have to have someone sighted look at the screen for me and see what's going on here. The windows music comes on and I hear the hard drive going, but that's as far as I am able to go.
