    Computer chimes.@!
    Does anyone know what could possibly make your computer chime every time a process opens or closes?

    I'm running winXP pro sp2
    The problem started when I up graded adaware to adaware anniversary. I thought it was adaware but I've been through the support forums and Ive found nothing that says you can activate a chime to warn you about applications starting or stopping.

    I really hate the noise!!

    PLease help:)

    Try going into Control Panel under Sounds. That will list the sounds associated with Windows events. Check for any event that uses the Chimes sound and silence it.
