Sound not working by Thomas154321 on 05-25-2006 at 11:40 PM
A few days ago I downloaded the Windows Live Beta, and didn't like it, so I removed it with Add/Remove programs. However, the sound on normal MSN Messenger now doesn't work, for example when someone starts a conversation I don't here the sound. Also, there is no sound when I am nudged. I don't know how to fix it - all the sound options say that sound is on.
Thanks.

Go to:
Start > Control Panel
Then double-click "Sounds and Audio Devices", press the "Sound" tab, then scroll down until you get to "Messenger" or "MSN Messenger" or something. Then highlight each one and browse to C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger\ and choose each sound in the list.

ty for your help anyway 
I made a new account on the same PC and there it seems to be fine, also tried to copy those files to my current account but didnt solve the sound issue. I think it might be profile related.

1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
2. Click HKEY_CURRENT_USER, click AppEvents, and then click Schemes to expand these registry key folders.
3. Click on Apps and then right-click on MSNMSGR.
4. Click on New and then Key.
5. Name it by right-clicking on the key (it has a folder as icon) and click Rename.
6. You need to name it MSNMSGR_ContactOnline.
7. Follow the previous procedure 3 more times. and name the new keys with these names:
MSNMSGR_NewAlert
MSNMSGR_NewMail
MSNMSGR_NewMessage
