I've created a lot of 'party games' (Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy, Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, etc) using different VB tools.
One is like this:
Which has the PlaySound Function in a module see on this Forum from time to time.
I also used the MMControl in some of the programs.
ALL work fine on my XP, my Win 7, and Win 8 machines.
HOWEVER, I have ONE Win 7 machine (without admin privileges) where NONE of the programs produce sound. I use both .wav and .mp3 files in those programs. If I simply double-click on any of those sound files, I hear them perfectly on this machine. However, if I use VB6 to run them, I hear nothing...the VB6 programs continue without error (I even have progress bars on some of them and they do, well, progress). I even created NEW sample sound programs, but to no avail....
So, stumped. What could be a setting on this Win 7, Dell 780, that would prevent VB6 from producing those sounds? (Visual Studio 6, which I use on the other computers) was installed on this computer by one with admin rights without error).
