Re: beep-beep

Hi,

Sounds like a sound in an instant messaging program. Check the system tray
at lower right (by the clock) and either exit the programs, or adjust the
notification preferences in them.

Re: beep-beep

Hi,

Control Panel/Sound/Sounds tab, scroll through the list to see if you can
find what action is causing this sound.
