2 users/one has sound the other doesn't
I do have other even sounds under User 2. However, I did
check the Current User under the Regedit and the data does say "Value not set". Any other ideas? Malia -----Original Message----- "Malia" wrote in news:2dfd01c2f0de$fd51aef0 : Hi, I have two users set up on my home computer and I noticed just recently that one of the programs (Quicken) has sound on one of the users (User 1)but not on the other one (User 2.) First; something to check: are any OTHER "sound events" working for this user2 ? I mean like click sounds, menu sounds, all the little blips, bleeps, and thingys that you hear on Usr1 when you click on thingys? NOT music or mp3 files, I mean the "event" in windows? IF NOT, if user2 has lost those too.. then.. A weird idea... something to "check", okies? Log on as the user without sound, and then go into the registry (regedit) and go look at In HKEY_CURRENT_USER, the root of this key, you SHOULD HAVE (Default) and (value not set) Now the weird thingy is this; you will have the "Default" entry there, but specifically look at the "data" column of that entry and make sure it has SPECIFICALLY the words; "value not set" - Okies? ANY OTHER value, or EVEN A BLANK would NOT be correct. Now before you DO anything ELSE.. IF the value is "wrong"; then you need to make sure you know what you're doing in that registry. You don't want to change or delete or do anything if you don't know how. BUT.. assuming you are prepared to do this: if the value is NOT as I stated; then you can RIGHT CLICK on the word DEFAULT in the right hand window and a menu will come up, one of the menu items is delete; left click on delete to delete that ENTRY - Now we are NOT NOT NOT talking about deleting the HKEY_CURRENT_USER folder on the left hand window, we are talking about the DEFAULT entry in the right hand window.. As soon as you delete that DEFAULT entry, Windows will make it again, with the correct value in it. Almost immediately. In fact, you can delete it and hit F5 and find it right back there. That is all I can think about for you. Do that and then go check and see if you don't have your event sounds back now.
