Mystery Beep
Hello,
I've recently been getting a beep from my PC's internal speaker when I log in to Windows 98 Second Edition. Is this OS-generated, or should I check my anti-virus scanner?
is your sound muted? If so un-mute it and restart, it may be any recognizeable sound, just not when it is forced to go thru the pc speaker as a beep.
Nope, the sound isn't muted as the Windows Startup sound event is played via my sound card just before the beep. It happens just before the taskbar appears.
hmm yea open your antivirus settings and find the alert settings, and see if any of them are set and sound like that beep...it could be any program on startup....
There was nothing immediately suspicious about the AV scanner, however a quick check of the lengthy log file and I saw "Error: Scanner's usefulness has expired."
Okay, so I need to update it. But why in this amazing world of powerful graphical operating systems could it not just pop up a small window saying so instead of beeping cryptically at me?!?
if updating it doesnt fix it open
start--run--msconfig and checkt he startup tab. Make sure it isnt loading a proggy u removed or something
