No App Sounds

[Len]

Capn is application software for boat trip planning and navigation.
Among other things, it has audible alarms for various events. The
particular version I have (6.1) is no longer supported by its
publisher.

Capn alert and alarm sounds are enabled and work fine under WinMe but
there are no Capn sounds at all under WinXP (Home, SP1). All the Capn
sounds .wav files are in its Chart_Sounds directory and each plays
when icons are individually clicked on the WinXP PC. But for some
reason they don't play when the pertinent events occur when Capn is
running under WinXP. The WinXP system sounds work fine, so this seems
to be an application problem with Capn. In scanning WinXP's registry I
don't see keys referencing Capn sounds. Any suggested fixes or things
to try would be welcome.

Thanks,
Len

Have you tried running the application in compatiblity mode?
Right click the icon/properties/compatibilty

Dave,
Thanks. Tried that, but the app wouldn't run. Memory problems or
something. Seems like the app is 32-bit and that may be part of the
problem too. Any other ideas?
