Title: Santa Claus
Post by: thrak576 on September 24, 2007, 05:41:14 PM
Hi

I'm running Windows Vista 32-bit with the latest up grades, my Virus softwear is Norton 360, I upgrade these things whenever it tells me there are upgrades.  Now on to the annoyance,  every so often a voice on my computer says santa clause, it happens randomly and not when any particular program is running so I can't trace it to any of my browsers or any of my IM softwear and its no so much a problem as an annoyence.  So any help would be immensley appreciated.

PS excuse my spelling

Odd...have you downloaded any Christmas screensavers recently?  How long has this been happening?  Download HijackThis (http://merijn.org/files/HijackThis.exe) to its own folder and then post a log here for us to analyze.  It will help us see what's running on your computer and what shouldn't be.

Go to Control Panel/Sounds and Multimedia...in that window any marked with a speaker items have a sound assigned to them.
To hear the sound related clik on the event and then clik the arrow pointing to the right and it will play...
Unfortunately you will have to check them one by one to find the culprit.
When found just select "None" on the offending event.
Re-boot.
