Question- not sure if this is the right place

    My work place uses AOL to get online. It recently started beeping when I log off. I know it didn't used to do that, so I'm guessing someone changed something. I don't have any sound on that computer. It sounds like the beep is coming from the computer itself? I tried looking in aol options, settings- internet options, and other stuff and didn't find anything I thought would help. Any advice on how to turn it off, or where I should post this if this is the wrong place?

    Thanks in advance

    Becky,
    I am guessing because I have not used AOL in some time, but there should be sound setting for AOL in your control panel - sounds - sounds. Any program using sounds should be listed in there. Simply find the AOL logoff sound and choose none.

    I hope that helps.

    Well I've never used AOL but here goes.

    Could be a system sould or a moden beep.

    1) System

    Control Panel => Sounds + Audio Devices => Sounds. Takes a look down the list and see if there's anything there that could be to do with logging of sound.

    2) Modem


    I don't know whether what robo said works or now. I'll just guess that that AOL option works. If not, then it's a bit of a pain - deep in the control panel somewhere about 10 windows in you have to type ATM0, can't remember where as I don't have a 56m modem in here. If you need it, it's
    here under the bottom paragraph.

    And if those two don't work then I've no idea :)

    Can you describe these diabolical beeps. Are they consistant or random beeps?

    Thanks guys (and girls)

    it is just one beep when I log off. I think it could be in the modem- I don't get any other sound on this pc. I will definitely try the things you've suggested. Thanks again- you are the best!
    (They know when I log on, but I don't want them to know how long I stay here:))
