purchase a disc with coding for the region in which
you are using your computer.

your speakers.
2 Make sure that the disc surface is clean and not

or Desktop Themes.
2 Ensure that video resolution is set to less than
1024x768x16 bits.
If any of these problems continue after taking the actions
listed, refer to any documentation that may have come with
your modem and sound cards. If you find no solution there,
run the diagnostics programs that came with your computer.
