Help me idenify a system sound

August 11, 2005 5:17:21 PM from JoeUser ForumsJoeUser Forums
Every so often while I'm on the net on certain pages (MSN.com mostly but others as well) I hear a sound that sounds like a water drop. I've checked every sound on my system under control panel and every program I'm running. I am currently running Pest Patrol, MS Antispy, Antivir and Trillian. IE 6. And ideas?

MS pop up blocker telling you it blocked a pop up.

I don't have MS pop-up blocker installed. I don't use SP2.

If you're using IE6 and have the pop up blocker on, it is that. But now I see you arent using SP2. I know for a fact there is a water drip sound everytime IE blocks a pop up in SP2. Next time you hear it look at the top of the page you are browsing and see if there is a thin bar that runs accross it saying something about blocking a pop up.

Nope. nothing. Just a watar drip sound. I've installed every update short of SP2 and SP2 releated updates. I'm starting to get annoyed.

Yep. Pest Patrol gives a clean bill of helth as does my virus scanner and Ad-Aware.

Google's pop up blocker used to make the same noise as MS. Are you running any popup blockers?

No option to change any sounds. yet I still get this water drop sound. When Google blocks it sounds different. maybe one of the Windows updates did this.
