natimage Posted July 4, 2003 Posted July 4, 2003 ...I really do love my computer...but, right now, I'd just like to toss it out the window!!! I had a hard drive problem yesterday...a couple of bad clusters. Caused me some havoc, but I'm pretty sure they were taken care of properly. However, my computer is now making that little noise at me like it does when you click somewhere you are not supposed to click!!??!! Problem is...I'M NOT CLICKING ANYTHING. It is not consistent with any type of mouse movement or any type of keystroke. In fact, it has beeped probably 10 times just since I've been typing this. Any ideas out there????????? I only have one window open...the one I'm using. I'm on Win98, using IE6 currently. Head Bash Thanks for any ideas! Tracy Quote
natimage Posted July 4, 2003 Author Posted July 4, 2003 ok...now I'm getting a little worried. I've figured out that it is only doing this when I am connected to the internet (dial-up) and my little indicator in my start-up menu bar is constantly flashing back and forth as if it is sending or retrieving data...but it shouldn't be. I can't find anything that is running...I don't know a lot about looking, though. Any ideas would be wonderful at this point. Tracy ........I did have to connect to Gateway shutup support the other day for a problem with a different computer. They used some kind of funky software for their chat session...could their be remnants of that on my machine????? Quote
TCH-JimE Posted July 4, 2003 Posted July 4, 2003 Hi, Depends what the beeping is. If your using XP, 2000 or NT, you should be able to look through the error logs which might explain a few things. If its only happening whilst your conencted tothe net, get something like zone alarm and see what pops up when your connected to the net Jim Quote
