KathyN Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 About a month ago, my son downloaded a program called WinRAR to my computer, which has since been opening my PTE downloads (I've since asked him PLEASE NOT to do that any more!). A couple of days ago, it started telling me my trial period had finished and I had to pay for it. So I uninstalled it. Since then, I'm not hearing the sound on my downloads. I imagine I need to go in and tell some program to open them, but which one, and how do I do it? Winzip is unzipping them, but when I double-click them, all I get ins the pictures. Thanks for any help you can offer me!Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRR Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 Kathy:WinRAR and WinZIP when unzipping, to my knowledge, should not affect the sound track.I assume you can still hear the sound on the previously downloaded ones and you are saying that you can't hear it on the newly downloaded ones?Pls try a new and old one and confirm.Can you pick one that you did earlier and can still hear the sound track and try downloading it again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KathyN Posted November 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 THANKS so much for your prompt replies!! I did a bit of fiddling and then restarted my computer (should have tried re-starting it before I yelled for help--that seems to fix a lot of problems) and I have my sound back. I'm not sure what the problem was, but I can now enjoy watching the PTE slideshows again. THANK YOU!!Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
