Hi Chris, Before you can get rid of the popping/static sound, you have to know what kind of video card your computer has in it. The way you describe the sound you're hearing, it sounds like a SoundBlaster Card. I too had that static noise, but got rid of it by installing some drivers from the gateway site. I have those files saved in case I need them again. I will tell you this, updating the drivers is something you have to follow to the letter. E-mail me off list if you'd like. But first and foremost, you have to know what kind of sound card you're using.

I recently installed windows XP and it works fine, but I have encountered some problems. First, when ever I use Jaws version 6, it makes a popping sound after JFW is done talking. I have all of my drivers installed and I am thinking it is a Jaws issue. Also, does any one use easy CD Creator version 7? I had to upgrade mine and I went to the store and purchased it, but now I find that it isn't accessible. Does anyone have any scripts, or if any of you have used it, can you offer advice as to what you think I should do? I would appreciate any help you can give me. Thanks, Chris P.s.
