[suggestion] Kill msn's auto sound-reset by DeltaBlast on 10-13-2004 at 08:57 AM
Everytime I restart MSN Messenger, the thing resets the sounds back to the annoying original... Is there any way that can be disabled through plus? I would be soooo gratefull ^_^
how are you sure it'd be a nice feature if you don't know what I'm referring to?
Anyway, I'm reffering to the fact that if you start msn, it automatically resets it's sounds (the sounds you hear when someone talks to you, or when you get a new email).
It's goddamn annoying to go to the config screen and load a previously saved scheme each time you restart your computer.
And now that I talk about it, I also have the problem that msn changes my display picture each time I log in.. anyone got a fix for that?

Because i think there is a problem with storing the preferences on you computer.

Tools | Options | Secrecy -- bottommost option: untick (rough translation from Swedish)
Does that help at all?

I have the same problem with the customized sounds being reset every time I startup Messenger.
I solved it by renaming my customsounds to the same name as the original ones and put them in place of MSN Messenger's original sounds.
Quick n' Dirty.
But first I made a BACKUP of the original sounds.

Now for the display pictures, is it a display picture you previously used? If so it might be MSN Messenger not actually saving the information on exit. You can try the following.
Press CTRL+ALT+DEL to open a task manager (If using Windows XP, click on Processes) find MsgPlus.exe and end the process.
What you will want to do next is sign on to MSN Messenger (if you aren't already) and set your DP. Then sign off and exit MSN Messenger from the system tray. Reload MSN and check to see if your DP is different.
For the sound exit MSN Messenger, goto the Control Panel (Start (> Settings) > Control Panel > Sounds (or Sounds and Audio Devices)
Click the Sounds tab, and change the sounds for MSN save it as a scheme and hit apply. Reload MSN and see if the sounds have changed. If they are the default ones you can replace the default sounds in C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger with the ones you want them to be or try changing them form within MSN Messenger.
The other option is try changing it in the registry. If the others don't work I will give you the steps for that.

That didn't work though. But leif's did, so that's all good. I guess that adressbook=contactlist

Could be a good feature for plus anyway; custom sounds for everything, not only contacts
Tnx for the tips, all. ^_^

yeah custom sounds for everything would be a good feature for plus.
RE: [suggestion] Kill msn's auto sound-reset by gnownoskcid on 10-14-2004 at 07:54 AM
for the sound problem, i used to have the exact same problem. I wanted to disable the sound when someone signs in. But everytime i exited messenger and restart it, the sounds goes back to before. This problem somehow doesn't exist with me anymore, but I forgot what i did to get rid of the problem. Im sure I didn't rename any sound files to fix the problem. I think the problem may have been something to do with polygamy overwriting the config of each other. I guess im not being too helpful here....

This is an MSN related problem.. not Plus.. i think...
Same thing would happen to me if I log in onto an account that isnt the .net passport account.. it doesnt remember my msn settings or display.. whether plus is installed or not..

Ok, for the sounds problem, that is a long going bug in MSN Messenger.
The ONLY fix that always works is to replace the sounds in your MSN Messenger directory.
Even editing the registry will not always work! Hence posting registry fixes is useless (see: "Fix MSN sound problems" and "MSN sounds...")...
see also:
"CookieRevised's reply to MSN sounds..." and "CookieRevised's reply to MSN sounds..."

- signing in
- signing out
- changing status
- changing name
- and the others events are the basic sounds from MSN Messenger

Dutch version. Only says adress book
RE: [suggestion] Kill msn's auto sound-reset by CookieRevised on 11-06-2004 at 04:47 AM
Well why didn't you say that you use a dutch version, I wouldn't have replied that then
Anyways, there are more not-so-accurate things in the dutch translation though. Many are fixed by now, but I guess still some things are left 
If you like you could report this to MSN though, so they can fix it
