Beep?

[Guest]

Where is this beep coming from? I have turned off sounds in the control panel
but I still get it when I perform almost any function. I remember getting rid
of it when I first installed Vista months ago but don't remember how. Just
reinstall, btw, and it's back. Help, I'm going bonkers.

Reply (edit):
First, go to:
CONTROL PANEL, HARDWARE AND SOUND, SOUNDS. Find DEFAULT BEEP, and
change the sound to NONE.

Second, go to:

CONTROL PANEL, SYSTEM AND MAINTENANCE, DEVICE MANAGER. Click on
VIEW, then SHOW HIDDEN DEVICES. Double click on NON-PLUG AND PLAY DRIVERS.
Find BEEP and double click. Click on the DRIVER tab, then choose STOP and on
the pull down menu, choose DISABLED.

All fixed! No more annoying beeping!
