Re: Would that be an Epson printer sitting there?

Actually, no. I think I said upthread it was, but it's a Canon BJC-4400.

Honestly, I'd been hearing so many great things about XP I thought I was in for an unexpected treat, but so far it seems to be the same old half-assed turd like every other version. I brought home a couple of .WAV files but it won't play them. It will make some sounds, but nothing I tell it to. It also likes to mark files to my Zip drive as In Use so I end up having to reboot (What a surprise!) to get rid of THAT problem, blah blah blah. Just the same old babysitting of Winblows just to do anything simple.

Well, one thing fixed. . .

Okay, figured out XP sound problem. It worked fine for a while, but then I tried to play some MP3 and .WAV files and all of a sudden, no sound. Odd that.

So I went into System Sounds or whatever, and found that it was set to Mute. Okay, turn it off, try again from Control Panel System Sounds, it works. Try playing MP3 again, no sound. Go check and it's set back to Mute. Turns out some stupid utility called Music Match or something would always turn off the sound before playing anything. That's a useful feature. I think it was punishing me for not going to its fucking internet site and signing up.

It still seems to have a problem with thinking files are in use when they're not. Reboot, reboot, reboot. You'd think I was using Win 3.1 again. . . .
