Your computer sounds better than mine, and I have no problem. Jon Freeman mentioned in another thread that the requirements are:

Windows 95/98/2000/NT 500KB disk space Pentium 100 MHz or faster (200 MHz recommended) A sound card Internet Explorer 4.0 or later, Netscape 4.08 or later, or AOL 4.0 or later.* Microphone (headset model recommended) Speakers

Have you tried to connect?
