SYMPTOMS
========
Sound schemes installed under one account do not show up correctly for other
users in Control Panel Sound. If an administrator installs the multimedia sound
schemes in Control Panel Add/Remove Programs, the sound schemes will then only
be available to that user who installed them. This means that if a user needs to
install the multimedia components to get the sound schemes, he or she must have
administrator privileges.
CAUSE
=====
Currently the installation of the multimedia components are stored under the
user's registry key. This information is therefore not available to another
user.
RESOLUTION
==========
The only way to install the components for each user is to give the users
administrative rights while installing the multimedia components.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 4.0. We are
researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft
Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
