OK,
a really dumb question but.......
How do you get the navigation sound in IE9 to work on Windows 7?
Before you jump in and tell me to check my settings in Sound Manager I have already done that. I have tried all the things I can think of but still no sounds when you click the forward, back navigation arrows in IE9.
I have to say that this is not a problem for me but I am being nagged at by my wife who likes to hear the click as she navigates through various websites. I never use this, in fact I always disable Windows Sounds as I find them damn annoying, but she swears blind it was working OK in IE8. However, yesterday her laptop updated to IE9 and now...... no click!
Please help as when my wife goes off on one, I really don't understand her.... she swears at me in Japanese and I'm sure it isn't at all polite.!
-
Don't take that sh*te off your wife mate! Give her as good as you get.... and then run fast!
I don't have any sounds in IE8 so stop her taking all those tablets and tell her it was all in her mind. ;D
-
Much as I would love to take your advice DM that won't help.
She wants her sounds and they were there before!
I use her laptop and I always found the clicking sound, when navigating the web, bloody annoying so it doesn't bother me that they aren't there now.
Is it a difference in IE9? Doesn't it make sounds when navigating in the same way IE8 used to?
-
OK Panic over I found the answer here: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2011/02/14/enable-clicking-navigation-sound-in-ie9/
Apparently IE9 doesn't use the navigation sounds by default and you have to manually enable it if you want the sounds.
Now if I could stop that damn clicking when my wife navigates the web, peace would reign in the absic household!
-
Nice one mate. I haven't got sounds on IE9 on my review computer because I haven't any speakers connected and that's fine by me!
-
The real question is why do you let your wife use IE in the first place!! ;)

Ogg, She's Japanese, nuff said!
I have tried getting her to use Firefox, Chrome and a plethora of other browsers but she just won't switch. It's not from a lack of effort on my part, I can tell you. :-[
-
She just threatens him with a bit of her origami and he has to back down! ;D
-
She's got a black belt in Origami and I'm a coward when it comes to pain! :P
-
That's a fair enough reason in my book! I can stand anything but pain.
-
Pain and her cooking mate, that's what I have to deal with! ::)
We have some very fat Gods in theis part of the world thanks to her daily burnt offerings. :o
-
And that is bad for Sushi ! :o
-
It's not just sushi pal, you should see what she does to the salad! :P
-
Never mind mate , if you can't stand it any more there is always Hara Kiri ! :'(
-
No I don't like him.
In fact no one liked Hari at school and no one would play with him in the school playground because he was very, very strange.
-
Japanese! obvious! ;D

Well, she seems like a wonderful wife and I am glad she was not in Japan when the earthquake and tsunami hit!
I just downloaded and installed IE9 and immediately the problems began...
First, I could no longer move any of the icons on the desktop to the trash bin...
Then, I other hard drives began to freeze up and act up!
Auuugghhhhhhh! Everything was working perfect before this...
I do not easily blame system problems on IE, but in the past, IE has burned me so many times that I decided not to install it again.
Well, believing the best about people, I was thinking maybe MS finally go their act together with their new IE9.
I think not!

Yes I would have agreed with you a few weeks ago Soar, I downloaded and installed it on my main machine and almost instantly started getting problems and lockups so off it came again and I went back to IE8 which I have been using for ages with no probs. However when I set up the review system I ran update and it offered to put on IE9 and with some trepidation I agreed. Well it seems to be fine on that system so far. We shall see how it pans out. :-\

Interesting...
Ok, what is the review system and where did you find the updates?

Hi Soar,
The review system is the one I have posted on here already the GA-P67A-UD5 and I was referring to the standard Windows update.
-
Hi Soar,
I now have IE9 running on a laptop with Windows7 Home Premium, also on my main rig running 7 Ultimate (both are 64bit OS) without any major issues.
Both systems also have the latest MS updates.

Absic,
Hmmmmm....interesting. Well, perhaps it is something on my system that I am not aware of. I will definitely look into it.
You know, many, many people here in the US avoid IE due to security and other issues. Firefox and Google Chrome are big here now.
I used Google Chrome for a few months but it began to crash consistently. Fire Fox's new version 4 seems to do ok.
You are saying the new IE9 is working well for you?
Soar
-
I tend to prefer Google chrome as my browser of choice Soar, but I also have Firefox 4 and IE9 installed and tend to jump between browsers, depending on what sites I am visiting.
I have not encountered crash issues with any of the browsers but, I could just be lucky. Of course, I don't visit sites such as: Madam Fifi's Den of Erotic Delights and I try to avoid websites that I believe could carry potential threats to the OS.
Another potential problem with web browsers can come from the annoying toolbars that almost every piece of software you install wants to add. These can cause browser instability and I make sure that I never install them to avoid such issues.
-
Agreed, I never install any of those toolbars as they just eat up your desktop and resources. PITA.
Can you send me the link to Madam Fifi's, seem to have lost it! ;D
-
Do you think I would get in madam fi-fi's wee a kilt on???? ::)

Possibly Jannie. The saliors in that part of town will take anything in a skirt! :D :o
-
Dodgy ground there absic, you know what these Scots are like about their kilts :o
-
yes but, you know what it's like round at Madam Fifi's! The sight of some naked legs and the natives go wild!
-
You are right. A pint of dark rum and they won't be able to tell the difference ....until the morning!

I thought sailor was a pop group :o
-
Sailor by name , sailor by nature I think. ;D
-
Well, after "A Glass Of Champagne" everyone looks like "Girls, Girls, Girls!" to a Sailor.
(for those who are too young or too old (DM), Sailor were a pop band who had two hits in the UK in the mid 1970's) :P
