Hi all, i just picked up an old PC running win 95 for some retro fun, i got an old star trek game on cd, and upon trying to set up the installer ( it refuses to run within windows) so i reboot to DOS, i go to the dos prompt, change directory to C: type D: but is says invalid specification. This will give you the original Windows 95 sounds. Copy the Sounds folder to your%USERPROFILE% folder Install SoundsSounds.reg (or update your Windows sounds manually) You'll now get the original Windows 95 sounds! I know Windows 95 is over 21 years old but I had some legacy software I wanted to try out. When using VMWARE Fusion or workstation there are well documented issues with the sound not working. All the guides I read just reported the same issue I got, they tried to download the drivers but got a blue screen.

In this article, we will be covering how to change various sounds that play when certain events occur in Windows or in installed programs. Those events can be an action that you perform, such as logging on to your computer, or an action that your computer performs automatically, such as alerting you when you receive new e‑mail. We will learn how to change individual sounds for events or the whole sound scheme for your user account in Windows.
All settings related to sounds in Windows are located in the following Control Panel applet:
Control PanelHardware and SoundSound
To open that applet, you need to open the Control panel. This way is universal and works in every Windows version:
- Press Win+R keys on your keyboard to open the 'Run' dialog.
- Type control and press Enter.
Control Panel will appear on your screen:
Open the Control PanelHardware and Sound category and click the Sound icon. The following window will appear on the screen:
Windows 95 Sound Pack For Windows 7
Click the Sounds tab.
- To change a sound scheme: In the Sound Scheme list, click the sound scheme that you want to use, and then click OK. Click the 'Test' button to listen to the sound. You can also double click on the event itself to play the sound.
- To change one or more sounds: in the Program Events list, click the event that you want to assign a new sound for. Then, in the Sounds list, click the sound that you want to associate with the event, and then click OK. If the sound you want to use isn't listed, click Browse to locate it.
To change more than one sound, follow the steps above, but click Apply after clicking each sound, until you've made all the changes you want. Then click OK to close the dialog.
To get a sense of what a sound you choose is like, in the Program Events list, click different events, and then click Test to hear how each one sounds in that scheme. - To save a sound scheme: You might want to save your customized sound scheme so even if you change some sounds, you can easily restore the entire set of sounds you used earlier with 1-click. To save a sound scheme, click the 'Save As' button and type a name for the sound scheme.
