You rock! Thank you! I just installed SP1 on my Vista machine yesterday, and completely rebuilt my wife's machine. The sounds stopped working on our server (have to use /console for them to work) thru RDP (don't ask why we need this).

At first I figured it was just some difference with her reloaded PC, but then tried mine and had the same issue. Then I figured it must be due to the June '08 patches that had just been installed on the server.

When I hit a brick wall I wondered how I could check, when connected, to make sure that I was actually connected to the /console session? I still don't know how to check that, but my search brought me to the answer I needed, right here. I had seen the /admin switch in the /? screen, but didn't really think twice about it or realize that /console was no longer shown there. Would have been nice for them to have said "(replaces /console)" or something like that, eh? That was a couple hours of wasted time for me.

THANK YOU!
