This is definetely a problem with un-installing norton antivirus software. Here is a fix (for windows2000): Open regedit and go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\.Default There should be another .Default key under this key. If it does not exit it, creat a new key and call it .Default. You can create default sounds under this key similar to the other events or simply go to Sounds/Multimedia in ControlPanel and set your Default Beep sound to whatever you want. Hope this helps.
