Default sound scheme not working on WinXP

[MDA]

Hi all,

I have a strange new problem with my XP OS. It seems all of my windows default sounds have stopped working. For instance when logging on/off windows, there is no sound. Also I noticed that when I receive new emails in Outlook, i just get a beep, and not the normal Outlook new mail sound.

I checked my Sounds and Audio Devices section and the sound scheme is still set to windows default. In fact if I click on one of the sounds to preview it, it plays fine. So there is nothing wrong with .wav sounds on my laptop. However, it seems a file or setting is corrupt, so it does not call the .wav sounds??

Any ideas???

Thanks in advance for all ideas..

Regards,

MDA
