No alert sounds
Hi folks,
Something I've seen posted about before, but I haven't seen any solutions that work. Basically I have no event sounds for MSN Messenger 6.1.0207. I haven't had event sounds for quite some time now, although they did work for a few months at least. I'm running Win XP. Curiously in OE6 and Outlook 2003 the event sounds don't work either, so I'm sure this is linked. Sounds are shown in Control Panel, and when tested in Control Panel they work. All other sounds work in Window's, as far as I can tell. Any ideas? Thanks |

I'm loathed to have to migrate all the data across to a new account... |

And then the other day I nearly jumped when a friend sent me a message and Messenger made a noise! It continued to work until (as I suspected) I rebooted and it hasn't worked again since. It's very frustrating - if I'm not in front of the screen I have no idea if someone is trying to contact me. Sort of defeats the whole purpose I think. -- *-------------------------------------------------------------------* =Z= Remove NOSPAM to reply.

Sort of defeats the whole purpose I think. Agreed that it's frustrating. There's obviously some bug in Window's, or something caused by some other software. I've migrated all my settings across to another account now to solve the problem. -- StainlessSteelRat http://www.stainlesssteelrat.net http://flash.to/oblivion - Outlook Express QuoteFix, great for OE Users David Aames: Look at us.

I too have experienced this problem too and are finding it very annoying. What new account did you set up? A new MSN Messenger account? I tried this and it keeps bringing up all my old settings and I STILL have no sound. What am I doing wrong? I had to create a new user account. |
