    Try look around in Vista for a UI for defeating the machine beep (I reference something read on this 4um). I disabled the machine beep in the registry because of a small issue with ArcMap when clicking a file in the add layer dialog.

    te beep is caused by hitting 2 simultaneous buttons on the keyboard.

    I believe I was able to turn it off in the bios or the keyboard settings.
