    When I try to open multiple pictures, my computer beeps.
    « on: December 02, 2008, 11:50:25 PM »
    Well it only started this recently. It probably has something to do with the programs I started using. I bought an Olympus camera and now, whenever I open a picture, when another picture is already loaded, my computer beeps very violently at me for half a second or so.

    The program I use to open pictures is NeroPhotosnap... 6,7 or 8 (I'm not sure which) and even though it started when I bought the new camera, it now happens when I open any picture and another picture is already open.

    and sorry if this has already been discussed, but I couldn't find a discussion of this topic.

    What Operating System?

    Does the beep come from the speakers or from the motherboard (inside the computer)?

    What format are these pictures in? (.jpg, .bmp, ect...)

      Well the beeping is coming from the speakers, I'm using "Microsoft Windows XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 3 and the pics are in JPEG.
      Oh and I use some Stupid Dell Laptop Latitude D510

      Try this.

      Right Click on a picture and go to Open With and click on Microsoft Picture and Fax Viewer.

        Ahhh so it was the program I was using, thank you.
        It's much nicer to be able to open a picture without jumping in my seat  :)

        You can change the file association so pictures always automatically open with the Picture Viewer.
        Just Right Click the Picture and go to Properties. Then click Change.

          I always associate Nero with stealing all the file associations it can lay its hands on !!!

          I've always disliked programs that always ask if they can take over their file associations when you start them. Sometimes I'm a bit too quick and just say yes.

          I said no the last 100 million times why would I say yes this time?
          I was trying to dereference Null Pointers before it was cool.

          Why on earth would this app make itself the default to open a .reg file is beyond me...
          That's just one example.
