not frequently, but every so often it plays about a second or maybe less of music.
done it three times today.
it's usually a short bit from one of the sean paul tracks, but today it's done it twice with what sounds like a part of an all saints tune.

very bizarre.
is this a common problem or is my pc haunted?

doesn't do any harm, but it bugs me why it does it.

maybe someones set that song to come up instead of one of windows normal sounds.

like for example, when you click a link you hear a "click" sound. you can edit it through the control panel.

Your PC wants to be a jukebox. I say let it.

I'd get worried if it started playing bits of Busted songs.

doubt it's that, because it's normally idle when it happens.
i.e, i'll be watching tv with the comp sat just with a couple of web pages open, and it'll do it.

i'm off to check though, it's a good idea.




i'd be crying about it if it was mcfly or something.

hadn't even thought about that.
i usually close buddy list down, which is why i only get it infrequently, but mouse batteries are dead at the moment and aol is a bitch to browse with the keyboard.....


cheers.
