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. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "jackeen" wrote in message ... my new vista laptop keeps making a "toot-toot" sound when i am on the internet. what is this? |

Hi,
Control Panel/Sound/Sounds tab, scroll through the list to see if you can find what action is causing this sound. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "jackeen" wrote in message ... i don't think thats it. i use gmail. i shut down the chat client and i still hear the beeps. they are random, but about 10-15 per minute "Rick Rogers" wrote: Hi, Sounds like a sound in an instant messaging program.
