This may or may not sound crazy, but ever since I started using Windows Vista I keep hearing a purring sound every now and then. I'll explain to the best of my ability. Windows Vista () will play a sound file of a cat purring at random. Normally, I can figure out what I'm doing that makes a sound file go off, but this time I can't. I'm NEVER -- and I do mean absolutely NEVER -- doing the same thing when the file plays. Sometimes, when I've just left the computer sitting, it'll play the sound file as well. I have searched my hard drive for any and all sound files and played through each and every one of them, but to no avail. I just can't seem to find where it's originating from. I even went so far as to open up the Windows sound file themes (or whatever you'd like to call them) and listened to all the files that were there too. Still, NOTHING! I'd appreciate any help anyone can give. I normally get around to this forum/discussion/group close to never -- I usually don't have any problems at all, but this is just annoying me. If you have any advice, help, or know what's going on, please email me at DarkkX@Comcast.net Thank you. |

Firstly, are you absolutely sure it's a sound file playing, and not some weird noise from a fan, a disk, or something? If so, and it is not initiated by what you are doing, then it must be initiated by some event not caused by you. The only thing that comes to mind is the sound that plays for an incoming email. It's probably worth checking. SteveT |

Do you have a sound scheme in place other than the default one? Perhaps it is configured to play the purring sound when a program starts or some other frequently occurring event. I would also look at a spyware detector and see if something is lurking around that shouldn't be there. > If you have any advice, help, or know what's going on, please email me at > > DarkkX@Comcast.net Nope, this is a newsgroup. -- And loving it, -Qu0ll (Rare, not extinct) _________________________________________________ Qu0llSixFour@gmail.com [Replace the "SixFour" with numbers to email me] |
