I have a program that contains a BMP file and a WAV file. The program was compiled successfully and when the EXE was run the BMP was displayed and the WAV was played, however when I copied the EXE program to a CD or flash drive and copied this to my lap top the BMP displayed but the WAV did not sound. I am using bb4w
any thoughts.

Obvious question: were there any error messages? If not, maybe the WAV file's format is unusual in some way (non-standard sample rate, for example) and not supported on the laptop. Try playing it in situ, i.e. where it has been extracted to from the EXE on the laptop, using your normal Windows media player.

No error messages so will look at the file format.

As I suggested, try playing the file in situ on the laptop. That will test more than just the format, so is a better use of your time.
