I did it!

I FIXED THE SOUND ON THE LAPTOP!!!!  Now it's perfect!  I have no idea what setting was wrong...I must have messed with 20 different settings, to no avail.  Then I found IBM's troubleshooting site, and in the process of using the troubleshooting application, it gave the keyboard shortcut for volume control, and when I hit it I got a loud beep!  Now it works great.

One curious thing, though, if I use a slider bar of any program (Windows Media Player, for instance) the sound is muted again.  It only wants me to use it's own volume control.  It's fine, as long as you know that, but I wonder where the conflict is?  Actually, I don't care.  I'm just so happy that I have fixed so many technical issues lately.

I wish you could see your dad reading your journal.  He laughs almost as hard as he does at Peter Sellers.

Don't you love that sense of accomplishment when you get it to work finally?? I think every computer has those little 'do it my way' things...
