hi Kerry
your movie works great, but only for two times after the movie download....
i record and it plays, i record a second time and it plays the new wav, i
record the third time and it doesn't do anything, the buttons go on & off,
but non audio is played......
i used Win Millenium Edition (IE5.5), on a k6-II 500, 128 mb, with 2 audio
boards (Sb Awe 64 gold and Ess 1868 both installed) and director 6.5 and
director 8 installed....
both the download of the movie and the audio xtra was immediately, although
i've a 56kbps modem connection.........
regards
Beppe Zupa
