"So you went to - settings -control panel -sounds and devices -
and then clicked on the sounds tab and for the sound theme you selected -no sounds- and clicked the apply and then the OK button?"

NO, I NEVER DID THIS!!! I went to my Outlook Express and (because I thought it might be my mail server ANNOUNCING that I had MAIL!!!, I disabled that option). I never went to control panel, sounds and devices, etc.

Now if I did do this and I disable sounds, How can I watch videos on the internet and dvds in my dvd rom thing.

If I go to control panel, sounds and devices and clik on sounds tab and I select NO SOUNDS, does this mean NO SOUNDS FOR EVERYTHING???

Clue me in here. AND THANK YOU MUCH
