    Hi everyone...Since I am somewhat technologically-challenged, I figured one of you genuises would be able to help me!

    Here's the problem...

    I got a new laptop about 2 months ago from ubid.com (supposedly new!)-it's an IBM X32 Thinkpad, and I haven't been having too many problems with it. I installed Windows XP and Word/Excel/all that jazz.

    When using Microsoft Word, I've been noticing that the laptop beeps at me every so often, especially (it just beeped when i typed that, actually) when i type the word "needs". I'm so:eek: and have no idea what could be causing this...Help!
    Thanks:) :)

    I realized this is under "Hardware" Forum, but since the random beeping doesn't seem to be limited to Microsoft Word, I think it might have something to do with the laptop itself?

    Is it plugged in or on battery may be a low battery warning

    Nope, the battery is never low when it beeps. It's just a quick, single beep every now and then. It never beeps when I'm not typing something either...
