you're too gracious, Michael! Especially w/ me busting your chops for not replying when you had!
SO just to continue beating a dead equine... you have sound, right? And you're running windows 98? But the problem is supposedly browsers operated in a windows environment? There must be another variable then? Is the problem windows AND something else - like a particular browser? Or did I misunderstand you when you said you had sound in your offices?
