Sounds from classic Windows Operating Systems

[Reeves]

Hi

First may I say how much of a help you have all been with my computer queries, and I hope to be getting my new one very soon.

Anyway, I am feeling nostalgic, and I am looking around for old sounds used on old Windows OSs, like the "Dream" startup sound on Windows 95. Does anybody know if these can be downloaded anywhere or if they can be extracted in anyway from the CDs?

Thanks

HEHEHHE! Awww memories! The NT4.0 one sounds like an old HTV Wales ident to me.

Is there a page that the BNP voters might understand?

Yep, click the American flag top right on the page (never noticed it before).

The sound for NT5 Beta is rather subtle

Thanks for your help, guys. Especially DJGM for the zip file.

Do non-supporters of the BNP speak German then?

Anyone else noticed that the NT4 closedown sound was the startup sound played backwards?

Because it's so weird it doesn't actually matter which way round you play it.

My favourite would have to be the Windows 2000/ME sound, it doesn't seem to tire as much as the others do.
