   N8 and audio question   
   02 Aug 05 08:42:11   
   
   From: joemackey108@adelphia.net   
      
     I've been a loyal Netscape user since 1996 and started with Netscape   
   3 and continued with each update since then.   
     Last week I installed 8 to give it a try.  (Had tried the beta and   
   dumped it in no time).  There are some things I like and there are   
   several I dislike (such as having to use Outlook Express for mail.  {I   
   use Agent for the groups}  To me having to use OE is mixing two   
   browsers without much success.  I don't care for IE and the reason I   
   went with Netscape in the first place.   If I wanted to use IE I   
   would.)   
     My question is this.   
     When I attempt to listen online some sites will work and others   
   won't.  (They ALL worked with 7.2).  When I click to listen the reload   
   icon will change to a X then back to reload.  I'll wait a bit.   
   However, nothing happens.   The icon will spin a couple of times then   
   quit.  I can download the .ram file and click that from Real Audio and   
   listen.  This seems to be a round about way of doing things, but then   
   it seems the power-that-be at Netscape now are trying to be that way.   
   But there are some sites that I can click and listen with no problem.   
   Is this a problem with N8 or a config problem?  If so, how do I   
   correct that? I have disabled the pop up stopper (which I LOVE and   
   glad it was kept from 7) and that makes no difference.  I'm using   
   Win98SE.  I also still have 7.2 installed.  Didn't want to be hasty in   
   deleting.  :)   
     TIA for any help.
