| 574872 | 2007-08-01 03:32:00 | My PC (WinXP SP2) has started making a funny noise (via the speakers) every 30 seconds. It sound a bit like "bong bing - pause - bing bong", a bit like the "found new hardware" noise. There is nothing on the screen, and <ctrl-alt-del> shows no applications running. I have reviewed the startup files and deleted a few useless ones, but to no avail. Any suggestions? Thanks, Mack Holmes |

| 574873 | 2007-08-01 03:37:00 | Have you installed any new hardware or made any changes to the pc lately? When did this nosie start sounding exactly? | ronyville (10611) | ||
| 574874 | 2007-08-01 04:16:00 | Have you got an internal card reader? It's possible it's malfunctioning. Also have you rebooted the PC since the problem started?;) | wratterus (105) | ||
| 574875 | 2007-08-01 05:18:00 | The problem seemed to start when I was performing a Hot Sync with my Sony Treo (Palm) via bluetooth. I haven't installed any new software. I have re-booted several times, ran countless diagnostic programs - Norton, Ad-Aware, Spybot etc to no avail. I have a card reader in my HP "Photosmart 130" but haven't used it lately. Disconnecting it has not helped. Mack |

| 574877 | 2007-08-01 06:03:00 | Complete uninstall of Norton has not helped. Mack |

| 574878 | 2007-08-01 06:03:00 | Makes me think of a joke: Two cannibals find a dead clown on a jungle trail, and decide to eat him. One asks the other after a few bites: "Does this taste funny to you?" OK..I'll go back to the Chat side....... |

| 574880 | 2007-08-03 04:25:00 | The Norton "idea" was not an idea. The fact that ithe beeping regular suggests that "something" is looking for "something". What happens if you try synchronising the Palm again? Perhaps you shut it down "abnormally" last time, and it's trying to find the Palm to complete a process. Or try disabling the Bluetooth interface and reenabling it. That probably doesn't show as an application, but it could still be doing things like beeping. ;) |

| 574881 | 2007-08-03 04:26:00 | Can you make a MP3 and upload it to YouTube or some place? I'd like to hear it before I make any more silly remarks. Wait..GOT IT! It's your USB connex-disconnect detector... |
