Sounds - lost new mail notification


This might be silly but I lost my Outlook Express 'New Mail
Notification' sound. I went to: start / control panel / sounds and
looked there to redo my sound and ... it was gone. No 'New Mail
Notification' at all. I don't know where it went or what I did. I do
know that I had some difficulty with my graphics but that is not
sound... ugh. I've searched for hours to find the sound or to download
or if I could just copy that folder from my laptop control panel and
replace the missing one??? I have winddows xp / pentium 4 / 2.40 GHz /
1.0 GB RAM if that helps. Thank you for taking the time... I do
appreciate it!

Why didn't you save your sound scheme. If you did, reload that scheme.

Export these keys from the laptop's registry:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\EventLabels\MailBeep
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\.Default\ MailBeep\.current
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\.Default\ MailBeep\.default

Import these keys (PC) and try again. You might be better off when
creating System Restore points prior to this action.
