Default insert caps lock sound in xp?

I have 2 computers; 1 runs millenium and the other runs X.P.I can not enable
the caps lock sound on the xp machine. Volume is on and the sound is enabled
in control panel- accesability. What gives? Any input would be appreciated

This isn't a Word issue... it's a Windows issue.

Howsomever... On many desktop computers, this feature uses the PC's built-in
speaker, not the sound card. You might a) make sure that the PC speaker is
actually functional (some aren't) and connected. You might also take a look
at the BIOS settings and see if perhaps the PC speaker is disabled for some
reason.

Or, if yours *does* go throught the sound card... You might double-click the
Volume control, choose Options - Properties, and enable all of the controls.
In particular, see if you have ones called Aux and/or PC Beep, and make sure
they are not muted/disabled. If you don't have those, or if they don't
affect it, then try each of the ones that you do have.

Hi Herb:
Your advice to activate all the volume controls was good advice; and sure
enough not everything was enabled. However the problem persists. It got me to
thinking that perhaps there is simply not a speaker installed in the box at
all. The computer is not a standard comercial model but was built by a person
I no longer am speaking to. At this point I am not familiar enough with the
inards of computers to know weather or not this is the case. I know a person
who can have a gander and tell if there is indeed a speaker. [Unless you can
tell me how to ascertain the existance of said speaker] If not, I would like
to thank you for your time and advice. Rick -capthook
