Hello All,

I have a very annoying problem with the sounds on my
windows xp pro pc.

Everytime a receive an email or add/remove my pocket pc
from its dock, the system speaker BEEPS very loud.

I have looked in the 'Sounds and Audio Device' settings
in control panel and all of the events are set to play a
nice .wav. Even when I press the preview button
in 'sounds and audio devices' the correct sound plays.
(I think I may have some corrupt reg keys.)

But still everytime a get a new email BEEEEP! It driving
me crazy, help!
