Re: Pismo 400 chiming-now whistling
Hi, My message database is 44 mb. The last time I compacted my messages I lost half of them. I have noticed more whistling sounds than previously and am wondering if this is just a flaw of the Pismo or is this a signal that my hard drive is on it's way out? It isn't super fragmented or anything. I guess I will start backing up all of my stuff. I am too sick to do it but I can't risk losing all of my valuable info on the hard drive. Thanks for any advice.

Thanks, Lynn You don't state if you have any applications open or what OS you are using. Your computer chiming is trying to get your attention about something, but we need more info to determine what. Joe Ellis -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Pismo 400 chiming
You don't state if you have any applications open or what OS you are using. Your computer chiming is trying to get your attention about something, but we need more info to determine what. This is probably common knowledge, but... You could try turning on speech for error messages. If this is caused by an error dialog popping up behind the active window, it'll chime, then read the dialog text to you. This has proven to be pretty useful to me.

Re: Pismo 400 chiming
System 9.21 Running IE 5.1 mostly Microsoft Word 98 I have been getting times where the computer seems to freeze up the scroll bar. Also, I had a big problem with OE 5 for email and lost many messages. It seems that it may be related to RealPlayer. I have not been able to get real player to work and the last time I did run it is when I had the OE problem. My cable connection seems rather slow and I get so many messages telling me that there isn't enough memory to open another window when I have plenty of memory for the applications. I have 320 mg memory and my computer won't let me open Express and explorer with more than two windows. I have allocated more memory to OE. Is this the famous memory leak going on? I can't remember what to do for that. I am in the midst of getting together medical info for an appt with a specialist tomorrow and am more concerned with losing info than the computer problem. I have too much on my plate but want to take steps to prevent something worse from happening. Disk first aid is usually okay although sometimes it won't do it and says something another disk being in use. I have no partitions. Thanks!
