>>>BTW, it seems that the sound does not work in Firefox. In IE I would hear this pleasant voice of Michel notifying me that I have a reply but no sound with Firefox (who will wake me up now?).

>>You need an audio plug-in to hear sound in FireFox. There is a Windows Media Player plug-in for FF but it does not play .WAV files, which is what Michel uses for the notification sounds on this site.

>I have had Apple QuickTime player installed on my PC before and I had some technical issues with it. I don't remember what it was but remember having problems. So I will probably have to live in silence <g>. I will be "moving" to a new Win 7 pc hopefully soon so this will not be a problem there.

I'm on Win7 now, that's not the issue, it's FireFox and its available plugins.

What I object to is installing QuickTime just to play the sounds on this site. Talk about killing a fly with a sledgehammer. QuickTime has had many security holes/vulnerabilities.
