You're right...sorry, I must have been half asleep when I answered as I was thinking REMINDER and you said notification. Not sure if you can change that sound? Dian D.

When I send myself an email it still makes a weak, short ink.. sound. Nothing loud enough or recognizable that I could hear in another room. I also tried the Browse and put in "Chimes.wav". Same result, nothing that sounds like chimes. Just a short "ink" sound. Any other suggestions as to what is wrong?? Sound system is Santa Cruz. -----Original Message----- From: mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Dian D.

I have done all the directions say. When an email comes in it makes a little soft noise that can hardly be heard. I am used to a loud sound (using Incredimail) that I can hear in another room to come out and check the mail. Is there anyway to make the sound louder and longer? I have even tried browsing and finding some music that has the .wav - but it doesn't help. It didn't play it when I sent myself an email. Should I be able to hear the email notification from another room???? ************************************************************* You are receiving this mail because you subscribed to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or MicrosoftOffice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To send mail to the group, simply address it to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To Unsubscribe from this group, send an email to mso-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word "unsubscribe" (without the quotes) in the subject line.
