[AccessD] Loud and obnoxious beeps

I found it.  I bought a brand new Del M90 about a month ago now.  I have
been getting a blue screen about once a week or so.  One of the "suggested
possibilities" was the high def sound system, so I went out an shut off the
device.  Apparently this completely shut down the sound system of the laptop
so it reverted to using the computer's "beep".  Whereas with the sound
device turned on, no sounds are emitted for such things, with it turned off
they are.  Thus turning off the sound system freed my computer to beep at
me.  I just turned on the sound system and voila, no more beeps.

Pretty strange if you ask me.

John, anytime something "changes" on my computer, I look to the little
people... :) 

Lexie is almost 9 and is amazingly good with the computer in that she
doesn't just automatically click stuff when she doesn't really know what to
do -- she always asks. However, I've found that sometimes her games and web
sites change settings and they don't even know it. 

I realize most of you probably don't let your kids/grandkids use your
production systems, but I'm just writing now -- I don't have the same kind
of critical issues at hand that you do -- but just in case, I thought I'd
mention it as a possibility.

It is looking like it might be a windows "sound scheme" issue, and fixed by
selecting "no sound" scheme.
