Hello,


I have been using the GECK for a few months now, maybe, and, after not using it for about a week or less, I opened it to have the Windows "Default Beep" sound play whenever I click anything inside the GECK.

For example, any object in the Object Window. However, clicking the menu items (Misc., Actor Data) does not result in a sound, but switching Worldspace from Interiors to Wasteland does.

This is completely new to me, but I found one article about in on the internet (it did not solve much). I do have the latest update, have tried reinstalling it, likely have the latest drivers for everything, and I am running Windows Vista 32-bit.

Oddly enough, the GECK for Fallout: New Vegas seems normal (not doing this sound deal).

Any help would be appreciated.

Much appreciation!

This is familiar.. I remember responding to it before. Searching 'beep' in this forum resulted in 2 finds. This post and thehttp://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1174880-awful-beeping/page__p__17351318__hl__beep__fromsearch__1#entry17351318. =D But, it is pretty slow around here, so here is the main points.

...an easy enough way to get rid of the problem is simply remove the default beep sound from windows. To do so, follow these simple steps:

1. Go to Control Panel
2. Double-click "Sounds" (if you use the non-classic view, you will have to click "Hardware & Sound" and then "Sounds")
3. Click on the "Sounds" tab
4. The first one listed under Programs is likely Windows; just a few items down is the sound "Default Beep"; select this
5. At the bottom is a drop down list that likely says "Windows Ding"; click it and scroll to the top and pick "(none)".
6. Hit OK and viola! No more dinging!

Of course, this will remove the dinging noise from the computer altogether, and not just in Fallout 3. Not a big deal, but just something to be aware of, as you can always change it later if you want. I believe there is another way to have the sound come from the speakers instead, in which muting them would solve it, but I'm not 100% sure and this way saves you from having to get rid of every sound.
