Wow! It worked! I never would have thought to look there! Many
thanks for the tip. I can't imagine how the beeps got turned on...
I recedntly had the hard disk fail, so replaced it, and reinstalled the
system and all my apps. Don't know why that would turn on the beeps,
though.

Thanks again... It was driving me nuts!

Best,

Ken
