Hoster Software Question

Turn off the Windows sounds through the control panel.

Already tried that.... not working

[ddouglass]

She is using Vista and when she is adding those songs it is from the search window? There are several threads on this. If I remember correctly you have to create (record) a short empty wav file and name it beep.wav, then find the location of the Windows sound files and replace the beep.wav there with yours. I guess Microsoft didn't think you really wanted to turn off ALL of the sounds....go figure!!

Yes, that is how she is adding the songs. I tried that too and it did not work. I am confused here, because another friend has the same program and hers does not do it and never has

If it's the beep.wav delete it. Don't need it, why carry it? Got something to do with the select sounds, get into the control panel and into sounds. Figure most needed sound is low battery. That rotten Vista does reset crap for you for some reason, like windows opening sound. Mine no longer has that sound and several others.

Do a search in here. I know a couple of people came up with the solution. If I remember correctly if you delete the file, then Vista chooses a different one to use.

Exactly!! Been there tried this. If Vista can't find the file it will substitute a nasty sounding buzzer sound. There are a couple of threads with different fixes including using a silent wave file which is the one I use.
