Yahoo Sounds: Opening/Closing Door...

In the old version of YIM they had two sound effects for contacts comming online, and offline. An opening and closing door.

I downloaded the new version of YIM and they are gone. They have some other stupid sound effects that I can barely hear instead.

I have been using YIM for years and I'm use to the old sounds effects, does anyone still have them that they can send me, or is there some place I can download them?

I have spent and hour searching on google but I can't find them for download. If someone still has an older version of YIM that has those sounds, can you please send them to me? Or let me know where I can download them?

Thanks. :D

Go here:

http://www.freecreed.com

They have all the old versions of Yahoo! Messenger (though some of them wont work with Yahoo! modern servers and what not) and you should be able to get the sound effects from the install packages. Or just install a slightly older version and delete the yupdater.exe file so it wont prompt you to update every time you log in.

I think he just wants the classic "door open" and "door closed" sounds that the older versions of Yahoo! Messenger has, lol. Freecreed has all that stuff and fixes for some of Yahoo!'s bugs too.

You can use the old sounds in new version, try Yahoo preferences for Alerts and Sounds, you can put your sounds there too.

they dont install on Vista.

Somehow that doesnt surprise me... lol. I almost went out and got a Vista machine the other day, then I thought about all the headaches and incompatibility issues people have and nah, wont do it. They all install just fine on XP and older. If you want, I can get the sounds for you from my Windows 98SE machine and email them to you in a .zip if that sounds good. It has Yahoo! version 5.0 so it has those sounds your looking for.

I have a brand new laptop and its hard to get a new computer now that doesnt have vista preinstalled, or you have to pay more to have Xp or something else installed.

The new sounds on vista are really tiny whisp sound that I cant even hear and its very annoying to me because I've been use to the old sounds for years.

I don't know what the sounds are called, but they are the sound effects for contact comming online and going offline, in the older versions.

If you can get them that would be awsome. You should be able to zip them and attach them to the thread incase anyone else ever looks for them. Otherwise just send me a PM when you have them and I'll give you my email address.

Thanks! :)

Wow, been away from this thread for too long, lol. I will get those sounds and upload them tonight. I know which ones your talking about, Ive been a YIM user since 2001 and I do remember the old cool sounds, especially the "Yahoooooo-hoo!" that came with the older versions, it rocked, lol.

Ill get those for you tonight :)

Thanks, that would be awesome. I don't think I've ever heard the Yahooo sound but I would be interested in hearing it too if you can find it.

I don't know if you've ever heard the new sounds-the ones they play on Vista but they suck ***. I can't believe that they included them instead of the old sounds. When your use to listening to the same sound for years and all of a sudden they change them its really annoying.

I think the sound files should be small enough to attach to the thread, if not PM me and I'll give you my email address.

I live on the WI/IL border, so I think we are pretty close.

Thanks!

I still miss all the cool sounds that came with Windows 98/98SE/ME when they included the Desktop Themes in the Control Panel. They took those away when they built XP and Windows has been dull ever since :(
