When I receive emails through outlook it goes beep. I would like to put a custom sound instead of this beep.

I got it kind of working, what I did was change the default sound to my custom sound but every time I did an error it went off as well as receiving emails.

Can anyone help

Cheers

What Windows version and which version of Outlook?

On outlook 2003 and windows 2000

Try:

1. Open Sounds in Control Panel (Select Start > Settings > Control Panel)
2. In the Events: window, scroll down to the entry New Mail Notification
3. Now you can use the Browse button under the Sounds header to select a new sound
4. Press Apply and OK

Cheers going to try that tomrow when back at work.

Here are all the settings in my sound which one is it Cheers

It should be the "New Mail Notification" which I don't see listed in your post.

That image looks like it has come from XP OS I am on OS 2000

In my control panel my option is called Sounds and mulitmedia

Looking through my outlook 2003 I have found an option to play sound but can't find out how to put a specific sound on there Iwent through

Tools
Options
Email Accounts
Advanced Email Options

I wonder if there is someway of finding that default sound and changing it.

I know this is not a not really important but its just quirk that I used on my XP at home that I wouldlike to do at work

Cheers for all the previous help

Here is the same control panel window under Windows 2000. It is the same.

I have taken a picture of mine some one has nicked it!

Someone find the thief

Does any one know why this is??

That is interesting. The window image was from a computer at default settings, with no sound card, henced the greyed out volume control.

Try loading a sound scheme. You may have to install from the Windows 2000 CD.

Try logging in as administrator.

Also take a look here.
