102308 2002-11-29 10:48:00 When Winamp is playing I get a sound like fabric tearing from actions like minimising or maximising or deleting and other ordinary actions in W Explorer and on any page that I may be working on. But worse, frequently the noise turns into a stuttering tone that can sound like a repeated click or a repeated bell tone that pretty well blots out the music. It takes a re-start to get rid of it. Winamp works OK so long as I don't do any keypresses. I can't tie it to any one action. I don't think it did this before a recent re-install of Win98 which has had no other bad effects on the system. Hope someone can help with this. Cheers Ken. paradox (1082)
102309 2002-11-29 11:23:00 Sounds like the conflict I had with Zone Alarm and a vxd on my system. If by chance you have ZA, uninstall and delete all traces of it. Thats what I did to fix a similar problem. Danger (287)
