How do I stop the annoying computer beeping noise? Say I accidently click on something un-clickable, or press a key where there's no textbox, and that annoying BEEP noise sounds. How do I get rid of that? I have Windows XP, if that helps.

When it happens, I hear it coming from the computer, because i've had my speakers off and that happened. So it's most likely unfixable, unless you want to risk opening up your PC finding the source.

You can change the sound to another or eliminate it completely. It's there to let you know you have made an error so removing it might not be the best idea but it's up to you.
Go to START>CONTROL PANEL> Then double click on "Sounds and Audio Devices"
At the top of the list in the box you'll see "Windows" and below that the word "asterisk". Highlite the word "asterisk" by clicking once on it then at the bottom of the window you should see "Windows XP Error.wav"
Just remove that text to eliminate the sound or click on the "Browse" button to choose a new sound to replace it with another sound. When you're done click the "OK" button.... you're done.

1. Turn your PC OFF.
2. Ground yourself on it by touching the case.
3. Unplug the power cord.
4. Open the case.
5. Find a little speaker in there, it is probably about 2" Diameter.
6. Find the wires attached to said speaker.
7. Trace said wires to the opposite end of teh speaker.
8. Pull them from what they are connected to Usually it is a molex type connector. If it is obvious they are fixed in there (Soldered), cut both ends off near the speaker, and tape them up, but make sure the bare wire inside those wires is not touching each other.
9. Close case, plug in, turn on.
10. Enjoy the silence.

Click on Start > Control Panel > Sounds and Audio Devices > Sounds tab. Now you will have to experiment to see which one of those that you need to kill.

If your computer is not working properly while you are working on it, it could be a problem with device drivers, hardware or software.
