For some reason i can hardly ever get the backing tracks to open up for me. I think its just my computer cause its really messed up but maybe someone could help me out. Like in the box it always has the choices: Backing, Slow Backing, Tab. the tab always opens up fine but the backings when I click on them it normaly does this loud beep sound and it like refreshes the page. I try clicking it a hundred times in a row really quick and all that gets me is a hundred loud beebs. I try opening up in a new window does same thing. I've tried saving it and opening up in different programs and that doesn't work. But every once in a while it opens up just fine. I don't get it at all. Someone please help me out if you can.

Perhaps if you klick the link in the supposed melody of the backing track it will play, but as beeps. :-) Just kidding

Clear your cache (from within your browser select Tools->Internet options)

If that doesn't do the trick perhaps you should manage which plug-in program that opens. I used to get such files open by Quick time after I installed it and I hated it. That had to be deselected within Quick time. Open it, the Quick time program, and change the settings so that mp3 (or whatever the backing tracks are) will NOT be opened with Quick time. Perhaps that helps?

So i figured it out. If anybody else has this problem all you have to do is hold control and click the button. It makes it work. WIERD!!!

Not wierd at all.

It's because you have a pop-up stopper. THe backing track "pops up" in a new window and you have an application that stops this kind of behaviour (to reduce the ammount of spam-pop ups). And these applications generally have an allow-button, in this case your application has the ctrl button.

No wierdness at all as you can see
