JSI Tip 4013. Sound events do not function after upgrading Win98 to Windows 2000?

After upgrading from Win98, sound events do not function correctly?

You may also receive an error when you configure sound events in Control Panel / Sounds And Multimedia:

Windows cannot find the file C:\Windows\Media\soundfile.wav. Do you want to continue to use this sound event anyway?

It is likely that the sound files have been moved and the sound events have not been changed from <Drive:>\Windows\Media.

To fix the problem, either copy sound files from %SystemRoot%\Media to <Drive:>\Windows\Media, or use Control Panel / Sounds And Multimedia to configure the sound events to point to %SystemRoot%\Media.

NOTE: See tip 2417 » Sound Events in Windows 2000 are NOT played?
