That's jsut it, as the other thread suggested, it wa show NON 9x windows OS's handled the beeps. Copied from the first post of that thread:

In Win95/98/ME... in order to produce a PC Speaker Beep, you must use MessageBeep(0xFFFFFFFF). (this is what mIRC currently does).

In WinNT/2K/XP... you must use Beep(Freq, Duration) to produce sound through the PC Speaker. Using the MessageBeep(0xFFFFFFFF) only produces a MessageBeep(MB_OK) "Default Beep" (through the sound card).



So my next question of course is, which OS are you using now and what did you use then? I myself went from 95b to 2kpro sp3. It's also important to note that when posting a bug report, (and I know I dont always follow this myself) it's good to list as much info about yuor computer as possible and that can SOMTIMES include that you changed OSes recently smile


Those who fail history are doomed to repeat it
