Should work. Check registry @ my computer\hkey_local_machine\software\microsoft\internet explorer\advancedoptions\multimedia\sounds. should show (among others): (Defult): (value not set) CheckedValue: yes DefultValue: yes Text: Play sounds in web pages Type: checkbox UncheckedValue: no ValueName: Play_Background_Sounds.

Go to control panel\internet options click advanced tab, scroll down to multimedia and uncheck 'play sounds in web pages'

also works on xp. i had trouble finding this solution so maybe it needs to stay.

right click the icon on the desktop go to properties. got to the compatibility tab. check the 'run this programe in compatibility mode for:' box. and select windows 98 / windows ME and it will work perfectly.
