Dear friends, since a couple of days I get a default sound any time a 16 bit program is run. Poking around, I found that it happens if I run wowexec.exe.

Any ideas (Windows XP)?

Thank you in advance.

Dear Enrico,

I don't use XP anymore. Ocasionally I install it in VirtualBox for some specific testing.

Have you googled about it ?

Enrico,

Have you recently installed some new software ?

Have you installed a Windows update ?

Try to restore it from a restore point from some days ago. Thats helps sometimes.

Yes, I googled a lot but found nothing interesting so far.

No, not recently.

Enrico,

Make a backup before then try it.

Important data should always be copied to a safe place. Even better: Never keep important data just in your computer

I know it and always keep a backup external hard disk updated. But how can I know if and which files are deleted or altered? Should I restore all my files after having restored from a restore point? I would prefer not to do it.

Check autoexec.nt and config.nt

Thank you. Unfortunately it didn't fix my problem. Any other ideas?

I fixed the problem using a restore point.
