Changing the 'din ding' noise when I get a message.

Hi I wondered if there is any way I can change the message alert tone that I get on MSN when I receive a new email.

If so can you tell me how to, thank you.:D

    It's in your control panel, sounds and audio devices, sounds tab (if on XP), you'll need to scroll through the list to find the one you want to change.

    :mad: Bum. Tried it 4 times now and it won't change. Gone to sounds on audio, clicked the one I wanted, pressed ok and nothing!

    Have I missed something glaringly obvious?:confused:

    Did you save the new sound scheme using Save As before pressing OK?
