No sounds?

Question

I have absolutely no sounds in Q2010 deluxe. I open edit/Preferences/Quicken Preferences and the box to turn on Quicken sounds doesn't exist. It's not grayed out, it's not there at all???

I rebooted, no sound, re-installed Q, no sound, removed Q and deleted all registry entries, .inf files, etc. etc. etc. rebooted, re-installed and.... no sound.

All other sounds are working, computer is running Vista Home Premium

The sounds in the "Sounds" subfolder will all play so ????

Quicken help says open edit, etc. etc. but there's no box to check, their only other suggestion is to re-install so I wasted a bunch of time on that but ....

It is there.

Edit > Preferences > Quicken Preferences.

In Left Pane, Select Setup (point and click one time) The Bold Word SETUP. Look at the Right pane "Setup Preferences". Check Turn on Quicken Sounds.

I use Quicken Deluxe 2010.

Boy you must REALLY like the sounds to go through all that trouble to get them.I would do all that to get RID of them. Silence is golden.

Not sure about Vista, but in Windows 7, changing a desktop theme will also (sometimes) change the sound themes as well. Setting the Sounds to anything other than "Windows Default" and Quicken sounds won't play...

Try going to Windows Control Panel and Sounds.  Verify that the sounds under Quicken are selected.

Yes, it's there now, one more removal and installation seems to have brought it back!

Not at all, not having the box means the installation is faulty, it needs to be fixed before anything else goes wrong.

Just a couple of clicks turn the sounds off but I normally run with my speakers turned off.

True.  I just wanted to say that is another possibility.
