| 574882 | 2007-08-03 05:29:00 | have you checked the windows sounds and tried them all to see which one it is? it also could be from the motherboard eg overheat alarm or fan failure alarm. |

| 574884 | 2007-08-03 16:35:00 | Check in <root drive>\WINDOWS\Media, as they will USUALLY be in the same drive as your Windows installation. I personally keep my Windows installation in J drive, but that's just me. |

| 574885 | 2007-08-04 05:16:00 | Thanks for the help. I do suspect the bluetooth USB connection, and am working to try to solve it. How can I ascertain if it really is the USB Disconnect detector? Mack |

| 574886 | 2007-08-04 05:32:00 | Do you have the "Disconnect USB Device" type icon near your clock? You should hover over it to make it pop out that identification . It looks like a little green arrow pointing toward the lower left on the icon . . If so, right click and click on SAFELY REMOVE HARDWARE to see what it lists as available . |

| 574888 | 2007-08-12 09:47:00 | Yes, thank you. I have got rid of it by turning off all sounds. That doesn't mean I've found the cause of it! However, at least I don't have to listen to that bing-bong all the time. Mack. |

However, at least I don't have to listen to that bing-bong all the time . Mack . If you turned them off thru the Windows Sounds card . . then I hope you took then option to at least attach a name to the old sound profile . . otherwise you might not have them to reload again . . . . when and IF you might want them again that is . I don't think XP will keep them if you don't at least attach a name of some sort and they MIGHT be gone until you make a repair via your XP disc . |

| 574890 | 2007-08-12 23:40:00 | is your blue tooth device near your pc? once had similar problem with 2 laptops with infrared devices. Even though they were sitting across the other side of the room, every now and again i would get the little woosh sound as windows detects/drops a connection to another infrared device. uninstalling norton was good, install NOD32 (http://www.eset.com/) but had absolulty nothing to do with the problem. |

| 574891 | 2007-08-13 05:35:00 | I went <control panel> <sounds & audio devices> then sound tab, and chose "No sounds" instead of "Windows Default". That's stopped the noise but did not elucidate what's causing it. I have not got, or can't find, the "Disconnect USB Device" icon on my task bar. Mack |
