problems foxing all of us

[jan]

Help,

My work computer was upgraded to Windows 2000. Now there
is a tone whenever a prompt or warning box appears.
This is foxing the IT team as I have no sound card, all
tone options have been removed from sounds and multimedia,
in this option I can't change volume as it's 'greyed',
I've even checked to make sure it's not a disabled prompt.

Any ideas, I'm doing data entry & its driving me nuts!!????

The tone may become from your system (motherboard)speaker, although its
highly unlikely.

Your IT team needs to be replaced !

Your IT team should have installed Win2K from scratch, not upgraded one OS to another. It
is a bad practice as it can introduce problems or amplify problems the already existed.

If it is coming from the system speaker, open up device
mangler..err manager, open system devices and disable the
system speaker.

It almost has to be the motherboard speaker if the original poster is
correct in stating that he/she has no sound card. If no sound card exists,
speakers would not be installed other than the motherboard speaker.
The only other possibility I can think of (in a data entry situation) is a
modem speaker that due to some sort of conflict tones when certain
conditions are encountered, but this would be rare (I've only seen it once,
about 12 years ago on a notebook due to Shadow RAM configuration).

Without specific details about the error message(s) no one here will be
able to offer much help.

Hi,

My case has a 2" speaker facing out the bottom, if yours has something
like that, just pull its plug off the motherboard.
