Sounds !
« on: June 19, 2004, 10:33:00 AM »
All
looking for some help ?
If I'm on the wrong "page " sorry.

One of the kids downloaded some free Sports Icons/sounds yesterday !
This is now causing the computer to make crowd noises etc everytime I open something up  !!
Can't find the program anywhere, can't see it installed in the Control Panel !
Can anyone advise how I could remove it ? ???

What operating system are you using?

If it is for Windows XP follow these instructions:

Start -> Settings -> Configurationscreen -> Sounds and Audio devices

Then proceed to the sound tab (Second tab) and select either the no sound or Windows-standard option.

Or you can manually remove the soundfile by using the menu below.

I am using a localized version, some items might have been improperly translated.

    If you don't know the answer, it isn't a dumb question.

    Did you attempt to disable the sounds the way I described?

    Your buttons might be named different or perhaps the path is a little shorter, but it should be nearly the same.

      if you know the name of the file or the kids can tell you, you can do a search for the file and delete it manually....
