I am a novice to a lot of the folks here, but a question for the more tech. advanced. I recentlhy purchased a Gateway notebook. My needs are limited to homework and watching movies and Internet. I changed my software to Yahoo for my home browser. My account is with Yahoo and it is on my desktop. When I installed the yahoo software I noticed that I was no longer getting sound thru the Microsoft Media that came loaded on the laptop new. I tried updating it and it didn't fix the problem. Is this a common problem and is there a solution for it?
