I am not sure where to put this post. Yet, I am awre that there are many knowledgeable folks on this forum, so it goes...

Just recently I've assembled my new system:
--
OS - Win XP Pro SP2 and IE v.6
CPU - AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ @ 2000MHz
MB - ASUS A8N-SLi Premium w/(2x1024) 2GB Corsair DDR 400MHz
HDD - 300GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.9 16MB SATA-II NCQ
VGA - ASUS eXtreme Nvidia GeForce N6600GT 128MB DDR3
PSU - CoolerMaster Real Power 550W
Case - CoolerMaster Centurion 532

My problem is the lack of a beep sound when I make a copy with the Ctrl-c (combination on my keyboard). It is probably related to the clipboard. I have tried (installed and then uninstalled) many clipboard enhancement programs.
Currently, I'm running a Clipboard Magic just to enable the beep (I don't actually need this program :crowned: ), refer to the F.A.Q. at: http://www.cybermatrix.com/cmhelp.html


Q. I have set the beep on copy but it never beeps when I copy text. Why?

A. Assuming the volume in your speakers is turned up, try checking to make sure that the beep sound is defined. In Control Panel / Sounds / Check Sound Scheme, make sure the Default Beep is defined. e.g. "Windows XP Ding.wav"

Any advice on how to enable a beep on Ctrl-c without using the Clipboard Magic would be much appreciated (I'm using a much better clipboard utility called "CoodClip" :bigthumb: ). And BTW, my system makes a lot of beeps on a variety of other actions.

Start > Run > accwiz.exe

It's in there somewhere I think.

It's a windows feature.

No, it isn't there. At least, I can't find any relevant setting in the accessibility wizard.
I do think that the problem is somehow related to the clipboard. I'm not sure if it is possible to reinstall it.

Ya Disgruntled Neighbour,

It would be really helpful if you can point out the exact setting that affect the sound (beep) on Ctrl-C.
I have tried the accessibility wizard several times, and didn't find any relevant setting.

Thank you.
