[MoJo2001]

Hey JLO!
You going to be around tonight? Hope so!!
Great to see you!!

[Bethbg79]

No honey. Did you rip this from a CD? It's got a copyright protection on it.

[TheBigB]

Did a popup message say you needed to download a license? Mojo and Ma got that too a couple of weeks ago...if you click to download the license, it takes like a nanosecond, and the song will play. Ask Mojo and she'll tell you it'll work. : )

[MoJo2001]

Bethy...click it. Nanosecond. Wham, bam, thank you Ma'am!
If Ma can do it, so can you!! *HUGS*

[Bethbg79]

It said I didnt have the plug in for it. I tried it on IE too. :-(

[TheBigB]

Darnies. Any ideas, mojo?

[Bethbg79]

Wham bam thank you man....good idea possibly? HAHHAHAHAHAH

Notice it says man not mam..bwahahahahahaha

[MoJo2001]

What version are you running of IE?
Oh! You should also have Windows Media Player 9 or 10. If given a choice, skip 9 and go straight to 10.
