You should see "Default Beep" in the list of sounds. To turn a sound
on, select that sound event in the main list box, click the Sounds
dropdown button, to the left of the Test button, and choose a sound.
To turn a sound off, select that sound event, then select "(None)" at
the top of the Sounds list. I'm using Vista Ulimate here and don't
have my XP laptop handy, but I think the Sounds UI is exactly same in
XP as Vista.
Cordially,
