WinXP hear "Deafult Beep" sound
I continue to randomly hear this sound. I don't know why I'm hearing it. There's no popup or informative window associated with it. It's strange. I've checked the event viewer for clues to the source of this issue.
Any ideas what it could be? The only thing I can think of is maybe the new AIM. It's the only new thing on my computer.

What's the "default beep"?
The sound when an error window pops up?

close aim and see if it still happens?:unsure:
Re: WinXP hear "Deafult Beep" sound
I actually did this and I hadn't heard it while it was off. If it's caused by aim, it might be my popup blocker blocking the advertising image on the main window.
Re: WinXP hear "Deafult Beep" sound
When I didn't have a firewall, AV, AntiSpyware, etc. I use to hear sheep sounds. :dabs: Seriously, some annoying damn malware I always guessed.
AIM, huh? You might wanna go to 'Options/Preferences' and check your notifications and you can disable the damn AIM Today crap. :ermm:
Or just use AIM-Ad hack. ;)
Re: WinXP hear "Deafult Beep" sound
aim today is disabled. it's not trying to open that window. it's so strange. there's no rhyme or reason for it.

Re: WinXP hear "Deafult Beep" sound
Just an update for those who care. I figured out the problem. It must have been caused by other AIM/AOL users custom sign on/off sounds. I didn't have them, so it used windows default beep sound. I went into the AIM preferences and changed the settings to just use the door open/close for signing on and leaving and I haven't heard the beep since. :)

I too recommend AimAdHack. I refuse to install any Aim version above 5.9.6 though.
