Since the question was about Messenger's sounds, I suggested checking Messenger's settings. I can see I'm being naive by expecting other people to know what they're doing, so in future I shall waste my time, spending ages going through every little step in minute detail...</yeahright>
Y'know, if people just took 5 minutes to actually read, search, or explore, I believe about 90% of people's problems would be answered without having to start yet another thread about some tiny problem that's been solved in 1886.
OK, my initial reaction was a little unfair. Usually, I do try and detail what I'm talking about. However, I do assume a basic working knowledge of Windows, and usually Messenger and Plus too (as in you can use the menus and dialogs). One of the first things I do with a program is explore it's menus and dialogs, usually because I want to change some of the settings. Everyone should do this with every program they install - this would be hugely beneficial because, for instance, you can turn off custom names, then wonder why e-mail addresses are shown. Then, you'll remember that you saw in a menu somewhere something relatring to showing e-mail adresses. You find it again, and - what's that next to it - the solution!

A little effort goes a long way.
