| | Vista sound schemes I've managed to erase or mangle the sound schemes included in Windows Vista Ultimate. That is, when I click on "sounds" in control panel, there are no sound schemes present. How can I restore them? Thanks! -- Old Prof |

| | Re: Vista sound schemes You could try this: Copy the following (between the dashes; i.e., don't include the dashes), and Paste it into Notepad. ----------------(dashes)--------------------- Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Names] [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Names\.Default] @="Windows Default" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Names\.None] @="@mmsys.cpl,-801" ----------------(dashes)--------------------- Save the file as Schemes.reg (no .txt extension). Double-click on Schemes.reg, and allow the merge. This will put the names back under Sound Scheme on the Sounds tab. Whether or not the Scheme is still intact in your registry may be another question. I hope so...

| | Re: Vista sound schemes Thanks, "Dean-dean". Your suggestion brought back at least two sound schemes: "standard" and "windows default". I'm not sure whether there should be others or not.
