[CGUYS] XP sounds question -

2011-03-21 Thread Tom Chambers 

List members -
 I hate computers that talk to me , so when I'm setting up
a machine for my own use I always set it to "no sounds" in
the control panel. That works for most sounds , but in XP I still get
the standard "beep" when I change volume or get a new
email (in this case in an old Netscape mail program). Anyone know how to
shut these sounds off ?
   Thanks ,

Tom Chambers

First please note that this list for the most part has moved to Yahoo,
note the message at the bottom of this reply.

2nd Netscape has not been supported for quite some time, and likely has
lots of safety and security issues.  Netscape can be easily replaced
with the SeaMonkey suite offered by the folks at Mozilla, or
alternatively just for email, Thunderbird the standalone email offering
from Mozilla can also be used.   Either the email component of Seamonkey
or Thunderbird can import mail and settings from Netscape, so moving to
either isn't likely to be a major issue.

3rd, it's been a long time since I last used Netscape in either Windows
or Linux, but if I remember correctly, what sounds show up for events
can be set under .  Of course it could be that
although you have no sounds selected in XP, you still have an event set
in Netscape triggering said sounds.  You'll have to play with both
possibilities for a solution.

Turn the volume down all the way or set it to mute.
