Vista Tutorial - Clicking in AOL Mail results in loud alert "beep"... help?

Okay, this just started yesterday and to be honest, I don't know what I did
to cause it in the first place. When I'm in AOL checking mail, when I click
on a particular e-mail to open it, the computer makes a very loud alert
"beep!" sound, even when the sound is muted. There are no error messages or
problems beyond that. It happens when I click using the mouse, the pen
tablet, or even just using the arrow key. I don't know what it is or what
could be causing it, but it needs to go away. Help, please?

First, go to:CONTROL PANEL, HARDWARE AND SOUND, SOUNDS. Find DEFAULT BEEP, and change the sound to NONE.


Second, go to:
CONTROL PANEL, SYSTEM AND MAINTENANCE, DEVICE MANAGER. Click on VIEW, then SHOW HIDDEN DEVICES. Double click on NON-PLUG AND PLAY DRIVERS. Find BEEP and double click. Click on the DRIVER tab, then choose STOP and on the pull down menu, choose DISABLED.


All fixed! No more annoying beeping!
