Re: Again: No mail notification sound in NS 6.2 :-(

Doesn't the winxp have a program where you can revert your directory to an earlier time? If it does just revert back to the time before you fixed the sound.

Hi!

I already posted this on the secnews.netscape.com server and got an

answer

from Jay Garcia (thanks!) but somehow I cannot post to this server

anymore

and his answer didn't help me... So I try again:

I installed NS 6.2 a couple of days ago on my new XP Pro and I changed

the

prefs.js file with the mail sound lines (at this stage I didn't know

that it

does not work anymore in 6.2):

user_pref("mail.biff.play_sound",true);
user_pref("mail.biff.use_default_sound", false);
user_pref("mail.biff.sound_file", "c:\\windows\\Media\\mysound.wav");

ok, it didn't work, I look through the newsgroups and found out that it
cannot work since it's based on mozilla 0.94. So I changed the prefs.js

once

again (just deleted the last three lines) and thought I am now back to
normal... But, now I have NO SOUND at all! HELP! I did not change

anything

else, just this file. How can I get back my default sound? I checked the
setting in the preferences and it sould work (tick).

Does anyone know what to do?

Referring to the answer from Jay (basically it said: the mail

notification

does only work from 0.95 onwards), it did work BEFORE I changed the

prefs.js

file, I just got the default warning sound, which was set in the windows
preferences. Now I don't get ANY SOUND AT ALL! Something must have

changed

somewhere just by adding these line, starting the prg and deleting the

files

again.

I was thinking of just installing NS6.2 again OVER the existing version,

but

I am not sure, if I lose all my settings by doing this...


Thank for any hints,
olli

Mail notification sound does not work in 6.2 and there is nothing you
can do to make it work that I know of.

Sound notification works in Mozilla as of about 2 weeks ago or so and
uses the default New Mail Notification sound file in Windows. I don't
know about the other OS's.

But it DOES work on my wife's user account and it did work before I changed
it in my account, too! It just uses the default Windows warning signal, not
the windows sound which is set for 'New  mail notification'...

Strange...
