50627	2002-05-25 00:36:00	I am about to venture into the Registry and I need someone to help please. I am trying to repair a minor problem. I have no system sounds. I had posted earlier and advised to go into 'sounds' from Control Panel. No luck there so I searched microsoft and found that I should have these registry keys. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\.Default\ .Default and HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\.Defaul t\.Default Now, when I go to these locations via regedit I find that the only thing there is this: (Default) (value not set) What do I do now? I have already backed up Registry but not sure exactly how to add these resgistry keys. thanks sam m	Guest (0)

It should advise whether or not the entry is a DWORD etc with a binary setting and so on. with that you can then add the entry. Just remember where the entry went so that if you have to remove it can. You should ensure a backup is made of the registry first.	Guest (0)

When I go to |control panel & gt; sounds & gt; there are 2 options there under scheme: 'Windows Default Scheme' & .default. I have played around with both of these without success. In the Sounds Events window there are 3 headings: Microsoft Portfolio, MSN Messenger , & Microsoft Works Task Launcher. There are 'speaker' symbols under 2 of these (not under MSN Messenger). Any help ideas appreciated. cheers sam m	Guest (0)
