hi i was wondering if any one could tell me how to change sound notifications on msn messenger...

i want to change two things:
1) a contacts sign in noise
2)the email pop up noise...

can anyone help?

Go to

Plus>Prefs>Customize>Event notifications

I think you can only chage the email noise by repalcing the email sound file.

Wrong. You can change it to any file, as long as it is a wma or mp3 file

For MSN Messenger you can't change them normally (if I remember correct), but like john-t suggested, you can replace your sound file with the sound files inside MSN Messenger folder in Program Files folder as long as you modify the name of your custom file as the known names like "online" or "nudge".

But I think you are not using MSN Messenger, but you're using Windows Live Messenger, then you have to go from its menu to "Tools>Options>Alerts and sounds tab>Here you can select any sound among the supported types for any kind of alert including Online and New mail alerts.

The path john-t suggested is for Messenger Plus! Live's Event Notifications feature. With this add-on, you can assign specific sounds for your specific contact(s). This add-on requires Windows Live Messenger installed on the system previously, because it is an add-on I recommend it to you if you are not currently using it.
