Hi

This might be your problem, I know I've run into this a few times.
I copied this from a Chrome support page...

It's interesting to learn about. I was trying to learn Java Script programming for webdesign. The Windows XP didn't let me play Java Script from the Windows but allowed me to play it from the server (in several web browsers I guess). Can I play my own new-bee Java scripts from the machine after the actions suggested above? I guess not. Am I?

Hi

Funny just a few minutes ago my sound stopped working while I was watching a Youtube video.
After messing around with it for a few minutes and finding all my sound was out, I rebooted and it came back, but I have no idea why it just suddenly stopped.

That's computers I guess. LOL
