By annoying jingles I mean the start up and close down jingle and also the pop and bong noises one gets when pop up boxes appear telling you that you have unused icons etc.Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Cox Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 TURN THE VOLUME DOWNORYOU CAN TURN OFF THE SOUNDS VIA AUDIO IN CONTROL PANELstart/settings/control panel/sounds and audio devicesIn any event Mike, it is not a PTE problem and if you have to ask this question the safest move would be to turn the volume downken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Reed Posted March 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Hi KenTurning down the volumn will not help. It is the annoyiong bong I get whenever there is activity on my email account and the start up and closedown jingle that I want to stop. The rest of the time I need the volumn up for my shows. I had it on my old XP lap top but cannot remember how I got there. I would also like to stop the annoying pop ups "There are unused icon' etc that can ruin a show.Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobeefstu Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Mike,Read this MS link how to set/remove your desired sounds in Win 7.http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Change-computer-sounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conflow Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 Hi Mike,Following on from Stu's suggestion for Windows-7 ~ I note you are actually using XP-Pro which uses the following XP Sound-Scheme and the way to change to "No-Sounds" is as follows:-Press 'Start-Button'-->select Control Panel-->(double.clk Icon)-->Sounds & Audio Devices-->select Sound-TabNow open the 'Attachment-Shot' below which shows you how to configure the Ding-Dong Panel.Note-Will not effect the the normal Sound-Player nor Sound-Recorder for reproduction of your Music Files etc.Hope this helps.Brian (Conflow) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Reed Posted March 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 Thanks BrianYes that worked at least for 99% All sounds are suppressed with the exception of the volume control which still does a little ping when changed but that is of no concern as I use an independent control whilst giving my shows.Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "Core-MPlayer2" came with Win-95 and was updated in 2004 and it controls every other Win-Player retro-installed since then, whether that be Win-Player 6,7,8,9,10,11 and 12 althought Player-12 is specially designed for Windows-7.At least 99% suppression of the Ding-Dong utilities is better than been driven mad by it.Brian (Conflow) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
