how to disable booting up greeting in XP

[al]

When I boot my PC there is this lady's voice saying "System completed
power on self test system now booting from operating system". How can
I disable it?

thanks

That would be in the BIOS. Look in the manual for your
computer to find how to open the BIOS and disable the
notification after the POST.

Captian Kirk had the problem once. He asked Scotty to fix it. . .

If you can't help don't waste unnecessary BW by posting stupid

That must be an option in the BIOS, so presumably you would disable it
there. Very strange. I've never seen a motherboard that would do that.
What kind of computer and motherboard do you have? Did your computer
always make that announcement?

I hope he does, too. I do think it was a serious post, but maybe someone
is playing a prank on him. I've never had a motherboard that talked,
and I don't think I'd want one. The talking cars a number of years ago
were bad enough ("Fuel level is low" over and over!).

I have an ASUS A7N8X and it does this.
It can be disabled in BIOS by disabling POST speech reporter.

I hear you and <LOL>. My GMC Envoy XUV lets me know that my gas cap isn't
tight enough which brings along OnStar that greets me (while driving), Hello
Kelly Theriot, we have just probed your vehicle via satellite and you will
need to turn your gas cap until you hear it click three times.
If you would like to pull over now to do so, we will wait online for your
response!

No! What's the world coming to?! Thanks for the info, Glen. Maybe it is
meant for blind users to let them know their computer is ready.

OK Guys..sorry for my 2nd post, I just got little carried
away..anyways..I checked BIOS and there is no disabling feature for
the voice as someone suggested below..the MB I am using is ASUS P4B53.
I have checked all the XP settings and even when I have my speakers
at MUTE the damn thing still speaks on power up..

HTH, thanks again for all you Inputs +ve or -Ve )

'POST Reporter'
Glen have it on an Asustek A7N8X MB, you have it on an Asustek P4B53 MB
and i have it on an Asustek A7V333 MB. I think we see a pattern here.

Like Glen, i also have an option in the BIOS Setup Utility, several
actually with some BIOS versions, that in my case are located under the
'I/O Device Configuraton' submenu under the 'Advanced' menu. I also have
a jumper 'SPEECH' on the MB to direct the POST Reporter to either the
line-out(external speakers) jack or to the computercase internal
speaker. You may have a corresponding jumper, or maybe even an POST
reporter Enable/Disable jumper if you can't find that option in the BIOS
setup utility.
