Here, in case I didn't already ask, put a texan accent on this thing if you can, I'd like to hear one.

Yes, as long as its not "justify my love" or "ernie the milkman".

I don't get anything but a blank white screen...

Is there a certain format that I need to have running or any type of media player?

if you are using a PC and have something other than MS media player as your default media player then a lot of these files won't play, so thats what you would need to do, if its something else then I don't know, someone better with computers may be able to tell you, good luck, and don't slag my voice! :wah:

Windows Media Player, which is the same thing as Microsoft, but its probably called Windows Media Player on your computer. Hurry up, we are getting to the good part of bohemian rhapsody! :wah:

You need a little mic, you can use sound recorder (which is in the my accerssories/entertainment folder) on your start-up menu, and then you have to use the attachment icon on your edit menu in FG to upload your vocal opus, clancy may be able to explain it in more detail, I am looking forward to your always useful contributions Nomad.

Wow...I hadn't noticed how much an Irish accent sounds alot like an American accent in comparison to other English speaking accents.

Interesting thread isn't it? Well I suppose the fact that half of Ireland ended up living in America may have influenced things somewhat.

You had the pronunciation right sort of, but a southern accent is alot slower and more drawn out...you spoke rather quickly, which isn't very characteristic of southern accents.

I will take that into account next time, gonna try an Irish accent when you get your sound recorder thing working? I'd love to hear some!
