in re: to BostonGirl, yes, i went into the sound files, opened each one to hear what it sounded like until i found the culprit, then noting the name, i took ANOTHER sound file, copied it to my desktop, renamed it to the culprit file, then dragged the "good" sound into the sound folder. It asks if you want to replace older with newer, of course, and of course you do, right? <G> Good luck. i did that with ALL my VV games. that sound was just too annoying!
