Windows XP "Default Beep" sound heard before every shutdown

Stop the Annoying defualt beep

Hi,

I would think there is something wrong, windows doesn't usuallly beep unless so. Are you sure there is nothing wrong with your computer? Does it hang for a long time when logging off? Restart your computer and watch it all the way through and see if it does any thing funny. You can also go in the control panel, Admin tools, Event viewer. That will tell you all errors you are getting. If no errors, just do this below. Hope this helps alittle.



Disabling sounds; Quick fix


1. go into control panel
2. audio and sound devices
3. click the sounds tab
4. choose no sounds.

That should stop the beeps!!

Found info about the 1517 error

This is funny I have the same exact error as you, however, I don't have the beeping problem.

When you went in the event viewer, did you delete all the errors and then restart the computer. This way you can see what errors are current.

just right click on Application, security, and system, then choose clear all events. then restart and see what all errors you got. You can also search the errors on google.

Whats Up,

I fixed all my errors, and I don't have what you got anymore.

Just click on each error, and look up the error code in google.
Just keep looking until you find a good site to fix the problem.
Hope I helped enough.

Take the easy way out.

Reinstall windows with your recovery cds.

Wait, were you sarcastic about the joy of installing Windows? What about all the great promises they give you saying "this windows is more stable?" What about when you figure out all those promises are broken? Is that not exciting every time? Does it not make you go "When will the next Windows come out so I can install it?" Huh? I enjoy it...

Linux Time!

Maybe there is a utility to fix errors

Hi again,

I bet there is a utility somewhere that can possibly fix windows errors. Windows xp has been out for so long, someone out there must have become tired of all the errors and created a nice program. If ya Find one let me know.


Reinstalling windows is awesome, I love it.

Waiting 2 hours for the installation and then get a million errors because windows doesn't like your hardware. Then spend another hour or two to get the correct drivers. Then installing all that stuff----

Hey, Linux is not for The average. Linux has its problems to though. I bet in 200 years windows will be perfect!! no laughing


Recommendations:

I am getting my first laptop, which is Velocity Micro Notemagix B50 it's a CL-56. No way do I want to reinstall on two systems now. Anyway, I am gonna get an External Hard Drive because I love downloading programs(FreeWare, OpenSource, etc...). Windows for some reason acts crazy if one keeps Installing and reinstalling programs.

1. Get an External Hard drive and put all new stuff there.
2. Do a Fresh install, update all your drivers, Programs and then Just create an Image. Then Install and Uninstall a way. My only problem with this is I don't know how to make cd images that are bootable. Isn't that silly.

No, Microsoft would never make Windows perfect. Maybe the old features will be perfect, but they'll purposely add new "improved" features only to let them have bugs.

beeping

well sorry I wasn't much help!! Good luck in college. I start up again next week.
Did that utility get rid of all your errors or just that 1 error?I guess I will keep that utility handy.

How long did it take you to install linux? I remember watching my friend do it, and it took him for ever. He started out with long hair and ended up with a crew cut.....

What is your Major?

I've got a i9300 and get this beep on shutdown too, along with the 1517 event ID. Has anyone found a solution to this? I think it started happening when I set up the bluetooth that came with it.
