If you can hear sound in all applications that produce it then you have
an application message. The key is to find out which one.
Most of the items in Event Viewer have a blue I for information on a
white circle. Errors have a white X on a red circle. It should take a
few seconds to use the scroll bar to look for the red circles. I
recommend that you concentrate on application and system events but you
may need to look at all four categories. Why Application and system
events? If a piece of hardware is causing the message, it will be in
system events. Application failures will be in application events.
For instance, while writing this email, I actually browsed the system
and application events and found that since I had turned my external
drive off, Acronis could not start a backup on 12/25/08. I got both an
applications error from Acronis and a write failure to the drive in the
systems events.
Note - If the last day you got the message was 12/28/08, I would only
look at that date. Your computer produces plenty of errors that you
never see and you don't need to look at them all.
