thanks for that - the problem is that my default windows sound scheme has no
..wavs associated with any operation. rather than manually link each sound
back, im hoping to restore the scheme either by copying a file over from an
identical machine or, more probably, change a value or set of values in the
registry - it must be corrupt!
any clues?...when i look at the system sounds console, there are no speaker
icons against any operations, even though the default windows sound scheme is
set.
