    Tanglefoot - I can't find the 'run' bit in my start menu, its different to XP as I use Vista, to see the date and version of Flash Player I have, although updated version earlier today.
    If you scroll down a bit you'll find a grey box with two buttons in it. Click the one labelled 'Windows Vista' to see an animated demonstration.

    Seems to be a similar problem and solution posted here
  • Thanks Julie, scan on Malwarebytes still running from last night!!! No issues found so far though. Still no sound! Will keep you posted :D
  • Julie, just had a look at it, it is what Enigma asked me to try, tried and still didn't work, I am so baffled. Is there some simple explaination I am overlooking?

    Well that looks fine - no nasties.

    Is this what you tried before?

    It might be something blindingly obvious but as you have sound from your CD/DVD though WMP it is just not jumping out at me.

    Yes that is what I tried last night and no solution! Could it possibly be my flash settings? How would I find those on my laptop?

    The sound device is obviously working but Windows isn’t recognising it as being the default setting.
    To change this open the Control Panel by going into Start, Settings, Control Panel and clicking on Sound and Audio Devices.
    In the Sound and Audio Devices properties click the Voice tab. In this tab you will the default devices, click the drop down box and change the device if possible, then click ok. If you have a number of devices you may have to experiment to find the correct one.
