  1. Where is my DVD player? Or better yet, how do I start a CD?


    This is a question I do not wish to ask as I do not wish to admit my lack of memory due to a combination of specific medications and as all who follow me know, I have been using Windows and Office and heavily constructed PCs with all that was available at the time of construct. I am having sound issues having downloaded and installed FXSound and, no sound. I should clarify that my system is a desktop with a tower CPU. While working on this issue of no sound with this new system in the PC, I decided that if I could put a CD into the player and turn it on and allow to run while I went forward
