"OK, snap! That's it! You all happy now?!"

I'm on a verge of hysteria.

Seriously. I've waited for new season for months, only to find out that fate really hates me.

My comp died a week ago and a friend of mine, who always takes care of such problems, had no time to repair it. So, I borrowed company laptop for a weekend, had new eps of SGA and SG-1 downloaded, only to find out that damned thing won't play the audio! I mean, I knew it's pretty old and operates Windows 98, but I didn't think it would be too old to play current
media files!

Since this morning, I've tried several media players, downloaded about ten
different codecs packs and nothing helped.

I'm furious and close to banging my head against the wall.

I know patience is virtue, but I was always lacking it :-)

This must be some kind of punishment...

Guess all I can do is pretend new eps are not up yet, go read some more fics
and pray I'd get my comp soon.



So not fair...

Have you tried vlc? I know you have tried several programs but this s the one that had always worked for me. Granted I have a newer comp but...if not I can try, try mind you to download it and and then upload it for you.

I've tried vlc, too :-( I'm starting to think it's more complicated than just the player. I suspect that someone must have accidentaly (though I can't imagine how) delated a part of Windows responsible for playing audio, as the music files are muted, too.
So I'm just gonna have to work on my patience.
