Author Topic: AIM make strange sound when I sign on Ken Lackner Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1907 From: Atlanta, GA, USA Registered: Sep 2001 posted 09-09-2003 10:13 AM                     Recently I have noticed that whenever I sign on to AOL Instant Messenger, it plays a sound once the sign-on is complete and the Buddly List window appears. I just noticed this recently. (It never did it when I had Windows 98 - perhaps it's an XP thing?) I cannot find this sound anywhere in the AIM options or in the Sounds control panel. Does anyone have any idea what I am talking about? What is this sound and how do I get rid of it?  |  IP: Logged Scott D.

Are you talking about the wierd shooting arrow sound that I hate so much?  |  IP: Logged Ken Lackner Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1907 From: Atlanta, GA, USA Registered: Sep 2001 posted 09-09-2003 02:41 PM                     DOOD!! I couldn't think of how to describe it, but yes! That's it! What the crap is that???  |  IP: Logged Paul G.

Maybe not.  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?"

You could delete it or replace it with a sound you like more but then you have to make sure the new file is renamed to carry the old filename so that AIM finds it.  |  IP: Logged
