Default Re: V 7.0 Patch Sounds Questions

OK, figured out the problem.

I have installed WinSPMBT on an older PC that uses Vista.
The game was installed before we figured out NOT to install in "Program Files" (and before the Vista/Win 7 desktop patch).
I long ago figured out where Vista installed the various copies of game files and just never bothered to uninstall and reinstall the game outside "Program Files".

When I installed the v7.0 patch I told it where to find my copy of the game and all was well...EXCEPT...the new versions of the OOBs did not overwrite the pre v7.0 versions the game was actually using.

All I had to do was tell it to restore the default OOBs and now all is well.

Gotta love Microshaft.
