Why beep for new email should be the windows default sound.

[Doug Chandler]

Hi weezimp you are a God. I installed the latest version of Yahoo! Messenger

UK version (10.0.0.1258-uk) and all my sounds disappeared in Outlook 2003,

it's been driving me mad! This fixed it in an instant.



Much Kudos to you....



Doug

Because after 5 years an update or 2 to either Office or a newer version of

Desktop Weather probably solved the problem close to 5 years ago.
