Re: beep every minute

I was trying to install some software and couldn't, so I used msconfig to turn off a bunch of stuff temporarily. That didn't help.
Anyway, when I put msconfig back to normal, the computer was messed up. Weird. Most of the services were turned off and I had no
record of which services I had been using. So I guessed at turning on services and everything seems to be running now. Did you
ever see msconfig act like that before?

Well, that's how I caused this alert sound problem to start. I may have some service running that I don't need that is doing this.
Or it could be one of my protection programs such as NIS 2008, etc. Perhaps I should start turning things off with msconfig until
the alert stops, in order to identify the program causing it. However, I'm scared to use msconfig after the last screwup using it.

(It's coming from the speakers.)

Is it coming from the speakers or from inside the computer?

: My Xp computer beeps exactly once every minute. It is the same sound made
when you try to do something illegal in a game. I have
: checked the task manager, but it shows no applications running. How do
you fix this when there is no error message to help?

Modifying the startups in msconfig should not cause any problem. Do two or
three at a time. Use msconfig as a diagnotic tool.
