XP sound scheme problem

I_M_Weasel · 27 Jan 2011 at 11:38

A friends daughter has managed to replace the xp sound scheme with a sound scheme from "moshi monsters" I cannot get the original theme back or any other theme. I can't find where the new sounds are, search for *.wav only reveals the default sounds. If i try to reselect the sounds with the original xp sounds, nothing changes.

Any ideas?

the original files are still there and when played in media player are fine. When selected through the sound schemes they play the Moshi monster sounds - which are similar to having Tinitus.

Already tried the reg fix, which led me to believe the actual sound files had been over ridden. I'd delete the new sounds but I can't find them.

The theme was intentionally installed, from the moshi monster site (its a kids gaming site) the noises are a UFO type theme, annoying to an adult probably fine for a kid, so I'm happy its not a virus.

It's a bad job when they don't even provide an uninstaller for such things. Repair install is always a last resort although I have to say myself it's a little extreme just to sort the Windows sound scheme.

I agree, initially thought this was going to be a simple matter of selecting the original theme again but its not turned out like that at all.

I can't I'm afraid (I didn't download it - friends child) it was on the site www.moshimonsters.com you need an account to get to it I think.
