| 1174287 | 2011-02-01 10:02:00 | I've got an emachines el1850 that's been running smoothly for about a year now. It still boots normally, the BIOS gives me the one beep "everything is a-okay" message, but about 5 minutes after logging on, the internal speakers make one ~3 secs long beeping noise. At first I thought the CPU was overheating or something, but nope, it never got hotter than 50 C. So I restarted, same beep again, then a few minutes after that one short beep. After that, everything runs normally. No more beeps, no hardware problems, no malware, nothing. The weird thing about that is not only that the BIOS shouldn't be beeping at all after booting up, but also that on IBM, there is no "one long beep" error message at all. It's always long-short-short or something. So yeah. I'm confused. Help? |

| 1174288 | 2011-02-01 18:33:00 | So it's not a BIOS beep then, especially if it occurs after getting into Windows. | pctek (84) | ||
| 1174289 | 2011-02-02 01:42:00 | also that on IBM, there is no "one long beep" error message at all. It's always long-short-short or something. Really??? IBM BIOS beep codes Below are IBM BIOS Beep codes that can occur. However, because of the wide variety of models shipping with this BIOS, the beep codes may vary. Beep Code - - - - Description No Beeps - - - - - No Power, Loose Card, or Short. 1 Short Beep - - Normal POST, computer is ok. 2 Short Beep - - - POST error, review screen for error code. Continuous Beep - - No Power, Loose Card, or Short. Repeating Short Beep - - No Power, Loose Card, or Short. One Long and one Short Beep - - Motherboard issue. One Long and Two Short Beeps - -Video (Mono/CGA Display Circuitry) issue. One Long and Three Short Beeps - - Video (EGA) Display Circuitry. Three Long Beeps - - - Keyboard / Keyboard card error. |

Do you have any speakers attached, if not, the beep could be a start up procedure which has failed and the beep is from windows to notify you, have you check the event log for error messages! |

No, no speakers. But I checked the log and found an Application Popup error 1060 This is translated by me but it says something like "Because of incompatibility with this system \SystemRoot\SysWow64\Drivers\StarOpen.SYS could not be loaded. Ask the software producer for a compatible version of the driver." Could that be it? And is it harmful somehow? Everything seems to be alright right now. :thanks |

| 1174292 | 2011-02-02 11:20:00 | Is CdburnerXP installed?? Looks like StarOpen.SYS maybe part of this. What version of windows is it? And is it 32 or 64 bit? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1174293 | 2011-02-02 12:10:00 | Sounds like some program or part of Windows encountering an error on startup. | Agent_24 (57) | ||

| 1174295 | 2011-02-02 15:10:00 | Okay, so I looked around a little and found this on techsupportforum.com "staropen.sys is a Kernel-level I/O operations helper driver from Rocket Division Software, which from my understanding, allows you to bypass windows system permissions, which are required by some CD/DVD writer software so to be able to burn without being administrator/domain admin/power user." I think it might be a remainder of New Samsung PC Studio. It's incompatible with 64bit, I deinstalled it before but some of the dll files are still there So I don't need it anyway. I'll just let it be or, if I get more errors, delete it from the registry Thanks anyway :) |

| 1174296 | 2011-02-02 19:22:00 | No, it isn't. I've got Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit syswow64 is a file associated with 16bit programs!....it WILL not run on a x64bit PC, i have no idea how it installed or what program it is..... The PC may well beep when attempting to start the program associated with this file... |
