Intel/proset wireless

Whenever my computer sees a wireless connection available, it makes a loud beep. Not through the speakers, but like through something on the mother board or something. I want to turn this off, know how?

 

Uninstall Intel Proset Wireless (not the drivers). You don't need it. Microsoft Wireless Connection wizard is more than enough.

 

after you uninstall the proset if windows cannot find drivers go mto device manager and roll back the driver this will reinstall the intel driver without the proset

If it's an internal PC noise, it might be a BIOS setting that needs to be changed. Do you have your audio driver installed correctly (can you play music)? If so, then this noise is something the board does on its own. I'd check the BIOS for LAN or WLAN settings, and see if anything sticks out. If the problem was related to the Proset software I bet the beep would be a sound through the speakers, not an internal beep.

 

its an internal pc noise, how do i get to my bios to check it? You guys really recomend uninstalling proset wireless? Hmm

 

i just use windows wireless it seems to be easier and uninstalling gets rid of a few services i think 4 that pro wireless starts up as far as the noise i do not have a clue
