ToggleKeys Produce a Muffled Sound after You Upgrade to Windows 98 Second Edition (259613)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows 98 Second Edition
This article was previously published under Q259613 SYMPTOMS
When you press CAPS LOCK, NUM LOCK or SHIFT LOCK while the ToggleKeys feature is enabled, it may generate a muffled sound, instead of the expected louder "ding" sound.
CAUSE
This problem can occur after you upgrade to Windows 98 Second Edition.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem:
- Insert your original Windows 98 Second Edition CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive.
- Double-click My Computer, double-click your CD-ROM drive, and then open the Tools\MTSutil\Fixspkr folder.
- Right-click the Fixspkr.inf file, and then click Install.
NOTE: You can instead select the file, press SHIFT+F10, press DOWN ARROW to select Install, and then press ENTER to accomplish this step. - Restart your computer.
NOTE: When the computer is started after you install the
Fixspkr.inf file, the Fixspkr.exe tool is run from the following RunServices registry key:
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices","FixSpkr",,"%10%\fixspkr.exe
When this happens, an MS-DOS window opens, a beep sound is played, and the window then closes.
