Hi don't know if anyone has experienced this but any or suggestions
would be appriciated.
I am an MCT trainer and use VMRC for demonstrations in a Dell Latitude D520
laptop, if I am working in the virtual environment and an error message or
warning appears in the guest operating system I get a very load bleep, an
example would be when resetting a password and I hit the OK to the
confirmation, the beep will sound.
I have tried to disable the sound card and muting the sound on my laptop and
it makes no difference.
Has anyone else experienced this, I know I am not using the VMRC for purpose
but it is so much better for demonstrating than VPC, IMHO

TIA

You need to disable the beep service.

net stop beep

and then

sc config beep start= disabled

Thanks Paul, fixed it like a treat.
Once again thanks for the quick reply, it will bring a smile to my fellow
instructors who I have been driving mad with this
