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
