1) How did you select the soundfiles?
Did you entered them manually or did you use the browse button when assigning the sounds in your configuration panel for sounds? (note: do not enter them manually, always use the browse button)
2) Did you pressed the "play" button after assigning a sound to an event? Did the sound play or what exact error did you got? (screenshot please)

How to solve the problem of not having Messenger sound notifications anymore after uninstalling WLM
Attached is a registry file, download it, rename the '.TXT' extension to '.REG', and execute the file by double clicking it (or right click it and choose 'add to registry').
It will add (all*) the correct values to the registry.
After applying the file to the registry you must do the following:
- In Windows, 'Start' > 'Run' > mmsys.cpl
(the sound configuration panel should open)
- Click on the second tab: "Sounds"
- Select your sound profile in the upper dropdown combobox
(this is important, sound events are scheme specific, so select the scheme you most often use. If you want the messenger sounds in each scheme you will have to repeat this tutorial for each individual scheme.)
- Navigate to "MSN Messenger" in the lower listbox
(for quick finding, you can press "M" until the cursor is on top of "MSN Messenger")
- For each named event you'll find there:
- select it in the list
- press on the browse button to browse for the wave sound file
(do not enter the file manually, always use the browse button)
- after selecting the correct file, press the play button to make sure the wave sound file can be opened and played properly
Contact Online eg: C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger\online.wav
New Alert eg: C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger\newalert.wav
New Email eg: C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger\newemail.wav
New Message eg: C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger\type.wav
New Mobile Message eg: C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger\ring.wav
Nudge eg: C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger\nudge.wav
Outgoing Phone Ring eg: C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger\outgoing.wav
Voice Call eg: C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger\phone.wav
Voice Clip Finished eg: C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger\vimdone.wav
- Press 'apply' or 'ok' after you've set all the sound events back to their corresponding sounds.
[*]'All', because the registry files or fixes shown in other threads or forums do not include all the proper settings. Other registry files you might find in other threads or forums are specific for certain sound schemes, specific for certain languages, or are incomplete.
-------------------
If there are problems with all this be as specific as possible. State the errors you got exactly and literally. State the exact steps you did before and after. Provide the version numbers (this includes the build numbers) of MSN Messenger and the Messengers you have removed before. If possible, take screenshots of the errors.
