Hey bud,
Remember that noise you used to hear on your computer? and everybody laughed at you for it?

Mind telling me how to get rid of it?

 

[Penguinfan]

You busting my balls or do you really have a problem, becaue if I tell you what my problem was I will be in a dozen or so signature lines.

 

[Penguinfan]

By the way, hows the WEATHER where you are?

 

[kosar]

PF,

Dr. Freezeisms pretty much have a permanent lease on my signature space, but i'd still be interested in hearing what your problem was.

Sincerely,

Kosar

 

[Penguinfan]

LOL Kosar, but unless Marine is still having trouble I go to my grave with this one.

 

[Penguinfan]

Besides, I already lost an over/under bet with the wife on how long it would take for someone to put up one of those damn Battleship pictures.

 

[kosar]

Yes, but it appears that Marine, a fellow madjacker, needs your help. So let's go step by step on what your problem was and the steps you took to solve it.

Thank you.

 

[marine]

nope pengi, seriously got the same thing. every couple minutes it sounds like my computer is cracking open a nice cold can of Pabst.
pch ahhhhhh
driving me bonkers
is it from some porn site i looked at or something?

 

[Penguinfan]

OK, I guess I'll give everyone a good laugh today.

You may not be having the same problem as I am since asking you about the weather didn't help. If you recently installed desktop weather from the weather Chanel then that is the problem. It runs in the background constantly and if there is any kind of weather warning in you area that sound you hear is one of lightning crashing far off. They use that sound as their severe weather alert and it won't stop until you bring up the desktop weather and read the alert. About drove me nuts for two days.

 

[kosar]

You didn't disappoint, PF. I'm not trying to be smart, but why do you need weather alerts? Also, if it's that important, then why did you ignore the alert for two days? Just look out the window, bro. And if you are curious about the temperature, just poke your head out of the door.

Hang in there, man.

 

[Penguinfan]

I don't need weather alerts, just wanted the tempertaure forecast available all the time because I go to work around 3:00-4:00 in the morining and need to know what to expect for the day as far as cold/rain/etc...

And they're off......

 

[Nole]

You knew it was coming and you went ahead and told us anyway.

It takes a man with a lot of testicular fortitude to do that. You have my admiration.

Hold on..............................














what the Hell was that? It's not raining!

PF- I have that on my comp as well, except instead of lightning it makes some chirping sound like crickets or birds. I'd never noticed it until one day I was watching basketball with my roommate in the living room, and suddenly my roomate says to me, "Do you have a f*cking bird in your room????" Just this loud-ass chirping sound from my computer speakers in my room.

I kept going through all of the options to try to turn the sound off for alerts, and finally something happened that worked to get it off, but it took me a while of having to deal with that crap every 15 minutes. Even now, sometimes I'll forget to turn my speakers off when I go to bed, and I'll suddenly get jolted by the dreaded weather alert birds/crickets.

 

[marine]

I have no weather channel, nor have i ever looked at a weather related site.
hmmmmm crap. there it goes again!

ah well, will investigate further.

 

[Penguinfan]

CRTL+ALT+DEL and watch the applications tab when it happens. If it's something running in the background this will tell you.

[BahamaMama]
