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 W.

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. -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
