Default I have a DOOZY of a challenge for you!!!

Hi everybody:

I have a Hewlett Packard Media Center PC. All bells and whistles.Windows XP, you know the drill. I also use Outless Express as my mail thing.

I have disabled all sounds (for incoming and outgoing mail) on Outlook Express.

So what's my problem???? I now like to watch dvd's on my DVD rom thing.

I put in a DVD last night. Played just fine. Sound was perfect.


Every 20 minutes or so, I get this sound (very hard to duplicate) but it's definitely a sound that anounces something, for example BING BAMM

I have absolutely no idea what this sound originates from.

I went to my outlook express options thing because I figured it was announcing I got an e-mail or something. I disabled the sound effects part.

Ten minutes later, as I'm watching the dvd, I get the BING BAMM sound again. It's two musical notes.

Obviously there is something enabled on my computer that is notifying me of something. Drives me nuts.

I refuse to use another dvd until I disable this.

Oh, just so you know, on the bottom right of my screen are the following icons.

Windows messenger, Mailwasher Free,MusicMatch Jukebox,Google Desktop, Verizon Internet Suite, New Items Available, google updater, Kodak easy share, Udate are ready for your computer,click here to install these updates (maybe it's this????), java update available,

That's all the little icons on the bottom right. Maybe one of these is announcing something with the Bing Bamm thing.

Please, if anybody knows how to stop my computer from doing this Bing Bamm sound I would really appreciate it.

Thanks.
