two questions - Windows Media Player & drop down boxes

I'm seeking assistance on two fronts.
My Windows Media player doesn't give ANY sound on some sites that have music on but I've tried some miniclips that I have within email folders and can here the sound on these. Why would this be? There isn't any mute on and the volume on my speakers isn't turned off.
On a separate issue, how can you clear the info that automatically comes up by way of remembering (I assume) when you go onto a website that has boxes to insert details and it asks you for info - address, postcode, username, etc. My P.C is secondhand and has details of previous person. Hope that this makes sense!
Help much appreciated.

One hundred years from now it won't matter what kind of car I drove, what kind of house I lived in, how much money I had in the bank, nor what my clothes looked like but the world may be a little better because, I was important in the life of a child.

In firefox there is an option to clear private data. Go to Tools>Clear Private Data and check all the boxes.
In Internet Explorer go to tools>delete browsing history. Then select them all and the same will happen.
All I can suggest about the sound problem is to install Real Player aswell. Some websites (I belive the BBC is one of them) have realplayer as default playback. I think.
Anyway, hope that helps.

I don't get an option within Tools to delete browsing history. Nor do I within the properties section.
I'll try and re-install Windows Media Player though.
With Media Player on some sites, it scrolls across as playing but there is no sound.One hundred years from now it won't matter what kind of car I drove, what kind of house I lived in, how much money I had in the bank, nor what my clothes looked like but the world may be a little better because, I was important in the life of a child.0 -
What version of internet explorer (if that is your web browser) are you using?
This can be found out by going to Help> about.0 -
I have version 6 of Internet Explorer.
Still cannot workout how to clear the details within the boxes and it's driving me mad!

Not using IE 6, but from what I can remember.... Tools > Internet Options > Content > Auto Complete or something close to that. Once there you can choose to delete all the previously remembered settings.0
