Firstly, with regards to the ding sound which is generated by the windows operating system. I some times lose sound after hearing the ding sound. This happens in explorer, Firefox, INTERNET explorer, wordpad, notepad. My solution: I unplug the usb connection for my headset, and WE7.2 starts speaking via my external speakers. I then replug my usb headset and everything is back to normal. In this case, windows lost sound to my headset, which is a known bug to all windows operating systems. Now, another known bug for all windows operating systems is that keyboard stops functioning. I use a wireless keyboard, and when I lose sound, I hit windows key on my usb keyboard and sometimes my sound is back. In this case, my wireless keyboard stopped functioning. Now, sometimes the usb keyboard is not responding either. In this case, I unplug the usb keyboard and wait for a ding sound, and then I replug the usb keyboard, and this sometimes does the trick, and keyboard is working again. However, sometimes the lost of sound is caused by a WE7.2 crash. In this case, I use a batch file to unload all three gwmicro programs, and restart WE7.2, and I am back to normal. Here is the instruction on how to create this batch file: download pskill from: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896683 : then copy and paste pskill.exe to c:\windows copy the following: pskill wineyes.exe pskill gwm32.exe pskill speech32.exe pskill bdisplay.exe S to a notepad document, and save it as: kill_we.bat then create a short-cut to the batch file and place it on the desktop. then right click on the short-cut and press r for property then tab to hot key and give it a hot key. I use control alt k which stands for kill WE-- smile.
