seems like they did fix it until it was broke...

I was using XP Pro and was just getting real comfortable with it, then they "fixed" it....

If it wasn't for Microsoft, I would never have thought to use that saying.
I have never trusted Bill Gates since he made a statement back in the early days saying "640K is all the memory anybody will ever need."

What I did was load the ding wav in Cool Edit a audio editing program and silenced the file. No more problem.

I remember working at a place & the 'new' network that was being installed, the guy told us if you'd never need more than a GIG of hard drive space - that would be insane! ALthough this was back in the late 80's too! My home computer at the time has 256 MB hard drive lol.

ADMIN NOTE: Love the "color" and humor you guys are adding in here as this solution is unfolding. We paid $400 in 1973 for a 125KB floppy drive (yep... Kilobyte... that's 1/1000th of a Megabyte and 1/1,000,000th of a Gigabyte). Our customers could store hundreds of word processing documents on it, and it was removable media. Ah... the good ol' days when storage needs were so small...

funny how things advance. My first computer was one I built up. It cost 1200 bucks and was a clone XT. we bumped it up to almoat AT speed and it was really special because we built it with two 640 K floppy drives. We could read from one and write to the other. It was very sufficient. This was only in the late 80's. First hard drive was a 10 meg "winchester'. It too turned out to be enough at the time.

I always wanted a 20 meg Seagate but they cost about $420 at the time. That time went by so fast, it went from MB to GB in a year or so. Now you go to WalMart and buy a 80 GB USB for about $80. And I just read that 1000 GB disks are here now that spin at 12000 rpm.

Well back to fighting Vista, I mean Lemon....

Everyone on this forum has been helpful. I wish I could post something that was helpful to anyone.

Have a good day everybody.

I have taken to using the Search to find the track and manually type the Book id into Hoster in the background et viola! no noise. Using the volume mixer route didn't work for me. Like the idea of substituting a silent .wav tho'

ADMIN NOTE: Excellent work-around, but not the solution yet. Read on...

It seems a shame that we really have no choice but to have Vista anymore without going through a massive change to convert the hard drive to XP so we can use the Hoster program without having this Beep problem. I hope someone can figure it out since it doesn't seem to be going away any time soon.

New users of the Hoster program are going to think the problem is Hoster. Not good for Hoster.

ADMIN NOTE: Hey... why is it that the Application is always the fall guy? This is a Microsoft BUG! Read on to see how this story unfolds...
