Ya, that is cool. Sounds kinda like Pokemon meets Computer Geek meets that game they play in some book...maybe Foundation or one of the Ender's Series books....hell, I can't remember.

And Silky, I don't even know what proper code is, so if you can write ANY, then I 'magine you're better off than lots of people. Cause writing code comes in so handy all the time. In the real world.

That's the great thing about the game though, you can use any coding standard in .NET ... C++, C# or VB. If you know any of those, then you're set.

Besides, a lot of the example code can lay it all out for you. Only problem is, you need Visual Studio .NET which is REALLY freaking expensive.

Ok, start by turning on your speakers...

Are they plugged securely into the back of the computer? The connection may have come loose. ALso, double click on the speaker icon in your taskbar and check to see if your WAV sound is muted.

If all else fails, kick the computer repeatedly, swear at it, reboot it 17 times and that should work.

If all else fails... get thet biggest and most powerful magnet you can find and stick it inside your computer... that should set it right.

Upon further reflection... I feel the need to make sure that for anyone that might actually be a real-life bona-fide computer idiot that the whole magnet thing would actually ruin just about any piece of electronics. Ok I feel better now.

Thanks for your suggestions Dave....I already checked all the connections and properties. I think the sound system went bad. The light on the right speaker keeps going out, and I finally got pissed and hit the thing. It still didn't work, LOL but I felt better...
