Vista Clock Chime
Does anyone know how to disable the hourly and half hour chime that sounds
like a grandfather clock. I just bought a new Dell Laptop (Inspiron 1501) and the chime is getting annoying. I have tried to look in every settings possible and have found nothing about a chime or alarms. Thank You |

Vista Clock Chime
Seeing as how that is NOT a part of Vista, you will have to contact Dell for
the information. -- Regards, Richard Urban Microsoft MVP Windows Shell/User (For email, remove the obvious from my address) Quote from George Ankner: If you knew as much as you think you know, You would realize that you don't know what you thought you knew!

Vista doesn't have a clock chime so it's some 3rd party software. Check all he sound events in Control Panel | Hardware and Sound | Sound - Change system sounds. If it's in there change it. -- Rock [MS-MVP User/Shell] |

Thank You Not having said featu :/ Did you right click on the clock (in sidebar, not task bar) and check its options? There isn't a sound setting for *a* clock in the "sounds" settings? Is there a bong sound file in \windows\media that if all else fails, you could rename (or delete)? |

Vista Clock Chime
It was on the computer as I got it OEM from Dell. I have used Dell Tech
Support and also DellConnect and they have no idea what it is. There is no sound for it in the system sounds, nor any settings if I right click on the clock. Oh well mute works too.

Brain(?):
Check the Task Scheduler for odd tasks. Check Windows Calendar reminders (options: play sound) On Sun, 18 Feb 2007 21:14:05 -0800, Jason B. wrote: It was on the computer as I got it OEM from Dell.
