Unwanted Sounds

I downloaded a free trial of a popup stopper. It made a sound every time it killed a popup. I disabled the sound but they continued. I uninstalled the program, but the darn sounds are still there and driving me crazy. I've sent a note to the developer but no response.......can anyone help? thanks....Michelle

Do you by any chance use the Google toolbar? If so, it has a popup blocker that makes a sound too. You can turn it off in the options. I thought I'd mention this as many people don't realize it has that feature, so....

 

Do you remember which pop up stopper you tried?

Found it!

As a followup....finally found the culprit - looked in control panel, sounds....checked list of windows sounds to see if I could find the one that I heard - finally saw "cookie cruncher" wav file which I deleted. Found it belonged to Pest Control program. No problems since.

 

Thanks for letting us know. It may help somebody else in the future.

The correct answer to the question in your signature line is: "YES ". Hope that helps.

Thanks Johanna. I've pondered that question for a long time now. Now I know the answer.

 

I should add that the amount of knowledge gained on this BBS never ceases to amaze me. I knew I'd get an answer here.

 

Yes, but you were right to trust your gut instinct. You knew, even alone in the woods, you were wrong, right? Surely your wife or daughter would have told you... Now, do you have any HARD questions?

Zander,

Care to download the .wav for your signature?

Go here and look for the "stillwrong.wav" link near the bottom.

Just a thought.

Ironic, isn't it, that the only thing a woman considers a man to be right about is being wrong.

 

I checked out the wav file. Hadn't ever heard it before but it is pretty much the same thing. Actually, a friend of mine gave me a can cooler that had it on it. I got a kick out of it and it occurred to me that if I used it as a sig I might actually get an answer to it. Thanks to Johanna, I now know the answer (as if I didn't before). You might know it would be Johanna that would step in and set me straight.

 

Dave, what is funny is how you guys want what we have SO BAD that you'll "be wrong ", even when you're not, just to get it!! Ha ha! I taught my sweet husband the code words for whenever he is in doubt of what to say... "Yes, Ma'am!" That way, he's never wrong! Give me and J a half hour together, and despite every success, you'll be an idiot, too... LOL

Zander, how many women do YOU answer to?

Johanna

 

All of them!
