Greetings Steve,
Under the user, do the following: Download and run these .reg files (just download and choose Run) http://messenger.jonathankay.com/downloads/dingfix.reg http://messenger.jonathankay.com/dow...m_soundfix.reg Note: in the last .reg file, if your Messenger installation isn't in C:\, you'll need to open it in Notepad and change the drive letter. After these are imported, reboot, log back into that account and see if they work. ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Windows MVP, Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com "steve" wrote in message ... all users on my pc, have the normal alerts when they recieve a message, someone signs in etc... except on 1 users settings, All we hear is a very quiet beep.

Hi Jonathan.
I have tried as you suggested but still have no sounds, very confused as the 3 other accounts on this computer all have the right notification sound's. Its not that important, just 1 of those thing's that annoy's. The beep when someone signs in is coming fom the tower, not the speaker's, Thank's for your assistance. -----Original Message----- Greetings Steve, Under the user, do the following: Download and run these .reg files (just download and choose Run) http://messenger.jonathankay.com/downloads/dingfix.reg http://messenger.jonathankay.com/dow...wm_soundfix.re g Note: in the last .reg file, if your Messenger installation isn't in C:\, you'll need to open it in Notepad and change the drive letter.

Hi Steve,
The only other solution I have for you is this: http://support.microsoft.com/?id=262256 Note, where it says No Name, it means literally that there will be nothing there (just a blank space). ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Windows MVP, Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com "Steve" wrote in message ...

Hi Steve,
Yes, that's the way it should be (no problems there) -- I'm afraid you've got me stumped, as a workaround, you could just make another user account, and then copy over the users data (of course, with mail, etc. it can get complicated). ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Windows MVP, Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com "Steve" wrote in message ...

It is unbelievable that this little null value deprived my system of
its sound for more than a year, and several times reinstalling the system even could not fix it. I am back to normal baby! The only other solution I have for you is this: http://support.microsoft.com/?id=262256
