SUMMARY
The TopDesk program included with the Windows Resource Kit for Windows version 3.1 prevents many of the Sound Events included with Microsoft SoundBits from functioning correctly. Closing TopDesk allows all of the Sound Events to operate normally.

MORE INFORMATION
Microsoft SoundBits includes a Sound Events &quot;hook,&quot; which allows Windows' users to attach sounds to specific system events, such as minimizing and maximizing Windows, opening and closing applications, and starting and exiting Windows. Under normal circumstances, this &quot;hook&quot; plays whatever sound is assigned to a system event when that event occurs.

If TopDesk is running, however, sounds will not play when certain system events occur. Among the Sound Events that DO NOT function with TopDesk are the following:

Application Maximize

Application Minimize

Application Open

Application Restore Down

Application Restore Up

Control Panel Minimize

Control Panel Open

Control Panel Restore Up

File Manager Minimize

File Manager Open

File Manager Restore Up

MBrowser Minimize

MBrowser Open

MBrowser Restore Up

Program Manager Minimize

Program Manager Restore Up

Sound Recorder Open

WinHelp Minimize

WinHelp Open

WinHelp Restore Up The only way to allow these Sound Events to operate correctly is to close TopDesk.
