Lost all my zone sounds, trying to do complete uninstall b..

Okay, back a couple of weeks ago, stupid me installed
RealPlayer. After doing so, I lost my Zone sounds
(specifically that cute little beep that tells me it's my
turn, but all the others ... but not the Zone friends
sounds). I uninstalled Real ... didn't help. I've
uninstalled Zone about 10-12 times. Tried to do a
complete uninstall but can't. I go to add/remove and it
SAYS it's done, but when I go to the file folder, there
are all the files that were preinstalled with XP on my
comp. I have even manually deleted the z files and
heartbeat but still no luck totally uninstalled it. It
was suggested that would correct the sound problem. If
there is anything else that would, I'm willing to try
it. Any idea or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks very much. Michele

It uses the default sound.. If Real Player changed or removed that
event, you won't have a default sound assigned.

Try assigning a sound to that event. Open Control Panel, Sounds, find
Default event, assign a sound.

There is nothing called "default event" there ... no
event, nothing that is related to it. There are
no "zone" sounds either. Could it be called anything
else?

Thanks for the reply. I really miss my beep and
appreciate your taking the time.

>Hi Elmo. I could not find "default event", but I added
sound to all the places that didn't have one assigned.
Restarted, went to the game and still no sounds at all.
Any other suggestions? I really need/want my sounds back.

Thank you.
