SYMPTOMS
When you press CAPS LOCK, NUM LOCK or SHIFT LOCK while the ToggleKeys feature is enabled, it may generate a muffled sound, instead of the expected louder &quot;ding&quot; sound.



CAUSE
This problem can occur after you upgrade to Windows 98 Second Edition.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem:
 * 1) Insert your original Windows 98 Second Edition CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive.
 * 2) Double-click My Computer, double-click your CD-ROM drive, and then open the Tools\MTSutil\Fixspkr folder.
 * 3) Right-click the Fixspkr.inf file, and then click Install.

NOTE: You can instead select the file, press SHIFT+F10, press DOWN ARROW to select Install, and then press ENTER to accomplish this step.
 * 1) Restart your computer.

NOTE: When the computer is started after you install the Fixspkr.inf file, the Fixspkr.exe tool is run from the following RunServices registry key:

&quot;HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices&quot;,&quot;FixSpkr&quot;,,&quot;%10%\fixspkr.exe

When this happens, an MS-DOS window opens, a beep sound is played, and the window then closes.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
