SYMPTOMS
========
The Test button may be unavailable (dimmed) if you choose the Drivers icon from
the Control Panel window, select Wave Driver For PC Speaker, and choose the
Setup button.
CAUSE
=====
This problem may occur when the [Sounds] section in the WIN.INI file does not
contain any information.
Below is the default sample [Sounds] section from the Windows for Workgroups
WIN.INI file. Windows 3.1 will not have "RingIn" or "RingOut" sounds.
[Sounds]
SystemDefault=ding.wav, Default Beep
SystemExclamation=ding.wav, Exclamation
SystemStart=chimes.wav, Windows Start
SystemExit=chimes.wav, Windows Exit
SystemHand=ding.wav, Critical Stop
SystemQuestion=ding.wav, Question
SystemAsterisk=ding.wav, Asterisk
RingIn=ringin.wav, Incoming Call
RingOut=ringout.wav, Outgoing Call
To enable the Test button, add the [Sounds] section to the WIN.INI file, along
with the desired system events. An original copy of this section can be pasted
from the WIN.SR_ file that is on Disk 1 of the Windows 3.1 disks and Disk 3 of
the Windows for Workgroups disks.
To correct the WIN.INI file:
Before beginning the following steps, make a backup copy of your current WIN.INI
file. For instructions on how to do this, consult your MS-DOS manual.
1. Expand WIN.SR_ into the Windows directory and rename it to WIN.SRC. For
information about expanding files, see your MS-DOS manual.
2. Run Notepad and open WIN.SRC by choosing Open from the File menu and
selecting WIN.SRC. Choose the OK button.
3. Select the entire [Sounds] section.
4. From the Edit menu, choose Copy.
5. From the File menu, choose Open and select WIN.INI. Choose the OK Button.
6. Paste the [Sounds] section to the end of the WIN.INI file by choosing Paste
from the Edit menu.
7. Save the WIN.INI file and restart Windows.
NOTE: You can delete WIN.SRC from the WINDOWS directory after you have
completed the above steps.
