Hi, my name is PixieDelightful. Welcome to my Help site!

Things You Will Need

You will not need both, but you will need at least one of them. CheetaChat YChat

You will also need Windows Mediaplayer MediaPlayer

You will need ICQ.. it makes it easier for friends to send and recieve songs ICQ

You may also need the l3codecx, not everyone does, but if after hooking everything up you still can't hear your sounds in chat downloading the codec may do the trick. l3codecx
This is an automatic download, click on it, when the box comes up put a dot in Save to disk then another box will pop open, save to your Download folder

Instructions for Setting Sounds

You will want to install your chat program, Windows Mediaplayer and the l3codecx, make sure your ICQ is running so that you can get help if you need it. You'll find that most people are very willing and happy to help.

First create a sound folder: 1. Double left click on the MyComputer icon on your desktop 2. Double left click on C: 3. Double left click on the folder called Program Files, when it opens, go down to an empty space at the bottom of the folder (usually next to the folder called Windows Messaging). 4. RIGHT click on the empty space and slide down to New, a box will open, then slide up to Folder, click on that and a folder will appear, name this folder Sounds. 5. Once your sound folder is created right click on it and slide down to Send To, a box will open beside it then slide down to Desktop as Shortcut.
* if you check your desktop now you'll see a folder there named (probably) Sounds, if you see this you'll know you've successfully created the Sounds folder and it's shortcut.
Now what you need to do is have a friend that has songs send you a song through ICQ so that you can go into your chat program and set up your sound path so you'll know that everything is going to work right.

Moving Songs From ICQ To Your Sounds Folder

When a friend sends you a song through ICQ, as soon as the transfer is complete at the bottom of the transfer box you'll see where it says Goto, click on that. Your friends ICQ Recieved file folder will pop open and you'll see the song there with a little speaker next to it. Using your LEFT mouse button click on the song, while holding down the left mouse button drag the song to your sound folder shortcut on your desktop.

Setting Sound Path for CheetaChat

At the top of the box it says Options, you'll see a list of tabs, click on the tab that says, Multimedia. 3. You'll see at the bottom where it says Sound Support, you'll see a little box there that says Play Sounds, make sure there's a check in the box. 4. Right below that you'll see where it says Sound Path this is where you want to type in where your sound folder is, left click at the end of what's in the box and backspace it away, in the blank box type in C:\Program Files\Sounds\ now click on OK at the bottom of the box.

*Now your sound path for CheetaChat is set. RIGHT click on the text bar in chat and click on Insert Sound, All the songs that you have moved to your sound folder will show up in a box. Select the song you want to play and double click on it. Make sure your volume is up on your computer speakers and if you hear the song you know you've done it right.

Once this is done look directly below it and you'll see where it says Beep for ones I don't have... make sure there is a check in that little box. 6.
