You don't have the most recent Windoze Media Player.

What I did to get around this is go into Tools (in our menu; not IE's menu), select My Settings and set "Sound for New Message Notification" to "None".

The problem is that iHub is trying to play a sound to notify you of a new message, but you don't have the latest and greatest software for doing that.

I'm not at all pleased with IE lately with some of these changes.

Like how they "accidentally" made it so Flash content (like ads) won't respond to the first click (but will respond to the second one) if you're not running the version of Flash that was put out to get around that problem.

Edit: In other words, Microsoft needs to get some anti-trust attention again. They seem to be going even more out of their way now to make sure that every computer uses only their software, and always has the last several-MB patch to fix security holes in it.

Edit 2: Oops. They're not "patches". They're <cough> "Service Packs".
