disabling accelerator

[Max Korn]

In order for me to stream a radio station from a website, I ave to disable my web browser accelerator but I don't know how. According to some instructions I followed on websites explaining this, I am supposed to right click on toolbar, then select accelerator and then choose disable. But the accelerator option does not show up on the menu, it doesn't exist. I have internet explorer 6 on windows 98. It should be there but it isn't.

I'm using XP with IE6 and Direct X9.0a, so the paths and directions may be slightly different for Windows 98, but the idea is the same.

In Internet Explorer 6, your browser options are at:
Tools > Internet Options > Advanced (try restore defaults)
There's no accelerator control here, however, there is one if you go to:

Start > Run > (type in "dxdiag.exe" then OK) > Sound (this is a tab)

Under the "Sound" tab you will find a control called "Hardware Sound Acceleration Level". Adjust this to whatever level works for you.

not too sure on this one, but they are probably talking about a download accelerator. they don't do much good in the first place, so if you have one of these programs installed, just remove it. I have tried many of these, and the numbers they display are a bit faster, but I think they are false, because the amount of time is about the same with or without.

I didnt download any download accelerator and I tried the disabling thing and it didn't work. The radio station is at www.kissrocks.com, I don't understand why I can't stream it. Everyone else can.
