I have checked the program option for "sound". But there are no
accompanying sounds when using QB.
All other programs on my PC provide sounds, and the PC sound system is
working fine.

Can anyone suggest a reason for the 'no sound and a fix for my
problem??

Thank you

First, look in Program FilesQuickenSounds to see if the program installed
the wav files to your hard drive. Then check the sounds applet in control
panel to see if they have been added there. Mine are at the bottom of the
list under a section called "Quicken". There are only 7 entries listed for
my PC. If they are missing here, then you will need to add them manually.

Hi, John.

What operating system?

This problem has been recurring ever since Windows 2000 introduced new
security rules, which become an issue when installing any application -
especially Quicken, it seems. Laura's advice is good, but there's one more
step that has to be done before those steps will work.

If you go to Control Panel | Sound | Sounds (in Vista Ultimate - there will
be slight variations if you are using a different Windows version), you will
see menu selections for sounds in Windows, Windows Explorer, Windows Photo
Gallery, etc. - but probably NOT for Quicken. To get Quicken sounds into
that menu, you will have to either reinstall Quicken - as THE
Administrator - or edit the Registry.

I am attaching the .txt version of a .reg file that I've updated from
earlier (Win2K and WinXP) versions to work in Vista. This one is customized
for MY system, which has Quicken installed in my E:QuickenW folder. You
probably will need to edit it by using Notepad's Edit | Replace function to
change all occurrences of "E:\QuickenW" to "C:\Users\<username>" to
reflect your own Username ("jhewitt", or whatever you use). After editing
this .txt file, save it and change the extension to .reg. When you are sure
it's correct, right-click the filename (in Explorer) and click Merge. This
will add Quicken to Vista's Sounds menu; you can edit the specific sounds
(Open Program, Click, etc.) if you don't like the defaults.

Please post back and let us know how this works for you. Be sure to tell us
your Windows version.

Yup, your'e both correct the sounds are not in Control Panel | Sound |
Sounds.

Laura doesn't say how to get the sounds into that location.

I'm not going to re-install Quicken, similar re installations and
upgrades have caused data loss in the past.

RC Maybe I'm not to smart, but I can't see that txt version in
your posting, or the references. Can you help me to find it please?

RC,

Your txt file points to the E drive. Does that need to be changed to C: or
what ever drive the quicken program is installed?
