Hi there,

I've got a Dell Latitude laptop with a fresh installation of Windows XP
SP2. I'm also using Office 2003.

Every time I receive an email or get a popup window alert (i.e. an
information alert, or a wireless network found alert), it is
accompanies with a 'system beep.'

This 'beep' is not from speakers like Windows sounds as when I mute the
speakers, I still hear it.

Can anyone tell me how I can turn of these system beeps/alerts please
as they're quite annoying, particular when I'm getting tens of emails
each day.

Thanks,

Se

In Outlook Express did you try tools-- options--remove X from play sound
when mail arrives?

How about opening the volume control mixer and check the mute box for "pc
speaker".

Sorry if this is a double post, my first reply seems to have disappeared
and does not show in my Sent items.

Try Control Panel>Sounds and Audio Devices>Sounds. In the pull down menu
under Sound scheme, select No Sounds and Apply.
