Someone's been on the jungle juice. Windows XP does *NOT* (got that? No? OK,
I'll repeat it, does *NOT*) support distinctive ring, full stop, whatever
software you use.
Now, have you got that into your thick cranium, or would you like me to draw
you a diagram?! This is inherent in the OS and cannot be changed by simply
installing 3rd-party software.
If you want a distinctive ring feature you will need to call your telco and
ask them to set up identicall or similar on your line. This is the only way
you'll have it.
And Russ will back me up on this, won't you Russ?
