Sounds scheme

[Kathy]

Tried to create my own sound scheme deleted it and now I
have no sound. I can listen to Real Player and Windows
Media but I have no sound when Window's is booting up or
when I'm closing programs. What did I do? And how do I fix
it. Changing sound scheme to Windows default does not
work either.

Kathy, after changing to Windows Default did you click on Apply, Ok?

Try using System Restore to take you back to a time prior to when this
began; Start\All Programs\Accessories\System Tools\System Restore.

If that fails to resolve it, go back to the same applet from which you
deleted the scheme, from the dropdown list, choose Windows Default and click
apply. You can then customize that as you wish. If Windows Default doesn't
appear in the list, you can simply set sounds to the various actions as you
wish, save the scheme and click apply.

Kathy,

It sounds like you're profile is corrupt. The only option is to create a new
user profile and transfer your settings to the new profile and delete your
old one. I spent over an hour online with Windows Tech Support, and that was
the advice they gave me because they could not solve the problem. Here are
the steps to transfer your profile:
