| Is this when IE is open? If so it may be the info bar, or maybe windows is just having a jam, |

Another reason not to install SP2 yet? <snickers> Does it appear to be a system speaker beep or is this coming from your pc speakers? ------------- http://webspacegeeks.com - Need Hosting, Domains, Dedicated Servers? http://www.smartergeek.com - web design | pc support | training | podcasts | video production |

It fully mashed my windows theme. I had all black bars and menus. Makes
it a bit hard to navigate when you can not see what you're doing. |

| It's really starting to wee me off now! Argh! Maybe if I find the sound file and delete it. |

| Aha found the sound you are right its the IE information bar warning sound. I don't have IE loaded though, seems a bit strange. When I do load it I can't see the information bar, how can I see it? |
