If the sound file is there but windows says it can't find it, it probably means the path to that file isn't correct afterall. So double-check if the path is absolutely the correct one. And if the path/file contains spaces enclose them in quotion marks.

It can also mean, but this is not very likely, that the sound file can't be opened as it is in use by some other program. You can check this by temporarly renaming (or removing and then copying back) the file. If Windows Explorer refuses to do this, the sound file is indeed in use by some other program.

Also note: NEVER do a system restore to simply roll back after an installation of a program. I know the whole internet and whatever advertises System Restore as thé tool for such things, but in fact System Restore will always do more harm than good (as you just experienced)!!! System Restore, thus opposed to popular believe, is NOT a tool to be used for such things. System Restore is ONLY meant in situations where you can't boot Windows anymore in a decent way or something is seriously wrong with your computer. It should ONLY be used as an absolute final resque tool, just before trying to format.

Again, System Restore is NOT a backup tool, NOT a remove-this-program-again tool.
