Alan, did you see Marc Tompkins post suggesting that my 64-bit Vista OS might be the cause? "Richard - It works (in Python 2.6, mind you) on my 64-bit Win7 machine, but I suspect that that may be because of Microsoft's compatibility twiddling on the back end. I Googled, and there seem to be a number of reports of people having trouble with 64-bit Vista and winsound.Beep(). I suspect that allowing programs access to the system speaker is one of those things that MS decided to cut out in Vista, but then decided to bring back in 7. "Chris - if it were just a disconnected speaker, I don't think he'd get the runtime error..." What do you think?
