New P4 2.2G system crahsed -- perhaps from a defrag -- and I had to format and reinstall win2K.

Now when wav's play -- new mail, etc -- it plays WAY too fast and sounds like a chipmunk.

How do I fix this?

You can try to install new WAV player. There are a lot of them. The one you are using must be corrupt. Win2000 can take any player, that is the good thing of it.

I had the same problem with a win2k system so i would disagree with answer 1.
Problem was cured by installing the correct driver for the system. There are differences between American and British drivers. Make sure correct driver is installed.
Tofind the correct driver version consult manufacturers hardware guide should have come with the PC.
If in doubt open the PC and locate soundcard. Remove it from the PCI slot and read the name and numbers on the card. Then go to http://www.driversguide.com
Locate the correct driver for your PC's soundcard.
Hope this helps.
