Hi Dick,
I saw that you solved your sounds problem -- a complete uninstall/reinstall
shouldn't be necessary, but -- as I'm sure you know -- often is (with
programs other than Money also). The new features of M07 will be attractive
to some folks -- but not all -- so by all means wait for M08.

Thanks Dick,
Your advice worked! A complete uninstall of Money 2006, a reboot, then an
install and like magic the sounds are back. Life is again good!

Michael,
It's not always easy to track cause and effect on PCs but when you take one
action like installing the trial version of Money 2007 and lose sound on
Money 2006, it's pretty easy to spot. I am happy to say that I have
corrected the problem by completely uninstalling Money 2006, rebooting, then
installing it again. That worked but it shouldn't have been necessary. I
have a Dell 8250 with 512 MB and gobs of hard disk running Windows XP and
it's been virtually troublefree so I don't believe that's the problem
especially since a software change fixed it. What made matters even more
intolerable was the lackluster collection of new of features in Money 2007.
I looked all over 2007 and couldn't see any meaningful difference between it
and 2006. It was disappointing and I'll be waiting for Money 2008 in hopes
that it will provide the incentive to upgrade.
Best Regards,
Dick

I might think about Add/Remove programs uninstall of all things Money and
then a reinstall. This has been reported before--prior versions/prior
trials--but a very quick search of the archives (advanced search of group
microsoft.public.money at http://groups.google.com) didn't reveal a fix. You
might search there as well.

Thanks for the help Dick! I checked each of the 4 items you suggested:

1) Sounds are most definitely on in Money 2006
2) Checked in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Money 2006\MNYCoreFiles\sounds
and all the sound files are there.
3) Checked in the Sounds Control Panel for Sounds|Program Events|Microsoft
Money and herein lies the problem. Lots of events are listed like Windows,
Netmeeting, Windows Explorer, etc. but NO Microsoft Money. It was there
before installing Money 2007 Deluxe but vanished after it was installed. I
uninstalled Money 2007 and nada. I even tried System Restore in vain as it
won't restore any of my checkpoints. There's got to be someway of turning
Progam events on in the Sounds Control Panel but I'll be dogone if I know how.
4) I reinstalled Money 2006 from my retail CD.

I'll keep looking but it certainly is frustrating since Microsoft caused
this problem and I can't believe I'm the only one who has lost Sound after
installing Money 2007. I do appreciate your advice. Thanks again!

The trial version does not include the sound files. Why reinstalling M06 did
not restore them is another question.

There seem to be three or maybe four possibilities.

1) The sounds are set off as Cindy suggests.

2) The sounds did not get re-installed. Check in C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Money 2006\MNYCoreFiles\sounds

3) The event associations aren't correct. Check in the Sounds Control Panel
Sounds|Program Events|Microsoft Money.

4) You reinstalled from something besides a regular retail CD--like a
downloaded install file. That *may* need an Online Update or similar. I
Can't say how sounds are handled for, say, an M06 trial upgrading to a full
licensed--online--version of M06.

Yes it's checked. It was one of the first places I looked. Thanks!

Under sounds, is it checked to play sounds?

Installed trial version of Money 2007 Deluxe and lost all sounds in Money
2006 Deluxe. Also, there were no sounds in 2007. Uninstalled 2007 and still
nothing in the Control Panel under Sounds. Reinstalled 2006 Deluxe and still
nada. How do I get my Sounds back in 2006 Deluxe?
Thanks!
