Hi McCoony;
I have the same problems with my front page, I also uninstalled and reinstalled to no avail. Did anyone ever respond to this? I would sure love the answer if you have it. I get the sneaking suspicion that i dropped a file in my windows temp.....but ....not knowing what it might be, I can't correct it.
Would love to hear if you know the solution to this problem.
Thanks

Usually when something is grayed out like that, there's something else that's either checked or unchecked that's causing the problem (I ran into this with Word; we couldn't get a feature to come up until we unchecked something else that didn't even seem related to what we were doing!).

Dear all...
Go to Tools |Page Options | Compatibility set everything to Custom and tick everything else.
Now no features will be grayed out. The
purpose of this setting is to prevent you from adding things not supported by various browsers. By setting everything to custom you can put features on your page that not everyone will be able to see.
For example, Netscape does not support the bgsound tag in other words only IE users will hear your sound.
If you want to add a background sound everyone can hear, you could use a JavaScript or you can use the <embed> tag which is simpler.
Here is some html -insert your own url and name of sound file and path- (which both browsers can play.
<EMBED SRC="ue" AUTOPLAY="true" AUTOSTART="true">
Just go to Insert > Advanced > html > and copy in the above text (using your path to the sound file for the text in quotes).
The bgsound tag is limited to IE. Remember lots of people do not like sounds and music on web pages,you might want to add controls allowing folks to turn it off if they want to.
