Lost my sound only in Quicken 2007

Hi, John.

This is a common problem that dates back to Win2K. :>( We've discussed it here many times.

An Export from my Registry is attached to this message. I'm running Quicken

Once this Registry import is done, you should be able to change any sounds you don't like from Control Panel | Sound | Sounds. But, until then, you probably won't see Quicken listed at all on that screen. And checking the box within Quicken will have no effect.

If you are not comfortable with changing the Registry, please ask a geeky friend to help you with it. Registry changes cannot easily be undone and can leave your computer non-functional. At least, Export your existing Registry key before Importing the revised version; then, if something goes wrong, you can re-Import your original version.

Whoops! Something went wrong in my saving that .reg file as a .txt file!

Sorry! Here is the correct version (I hope).

Please report back with your results.

Thanks for sending that info...I'm going to wait awhile before I start playing with the register.... Maybe Quicken will come out with a fix :-) with their next update !!!!! :-) Thanks again

Just a FYI, I also had no Quicken sounds at all in Windows XP Pro and the reg file fixed it.

Thanks!

Hi, MrMusicDVD.

Thanks for the feedback. Sometimes I don't know if my advice worked - or if the reader can't post back because my advice killed the computer! :>(

And this little file - updated as required for new versions of Quicken and Windows and customized to fit the user's system - has been needed ever since Quicken got out of step with Windows, in Windows 2000 as I recall. I don't know why Intuit has not bothered to fix it yet.
