Dear Dennis,
Firstly, let me thank you for your
great
newsletters. They are a wealth of information!
I have Windows XP installed on system which consists of an
Asus P4B (Pentium 4 capable motherboard).
My problem is that whenever Windows XP begins to load, I
hear a voice that says, "System completed power-on self test; computer now
booting from Operating System."
Please, please, please -- can you tell me how to remove
this annoying feature?! I have to shut off my speakers every time I
boot my computer to avoid hearing this annoying voice.
Regards,
Michael H.
My Response:
I can't say that I've been lucky enough to experience this
problem.
I'm not sure if this is related to the motherboard or not,
or if it's some Windows XP feature. Heck, it might even be a sound
clip that the computer manufacturer put into the Windows Start sound (side
note: Sounds are available and configurable at the Control Panel).
Anyway, I don't have an answer to this.
So, I'm asking the Gazette readers to answer this one for
me, and I'll post it in the
next newsletter. |
