My PC has stopped making the sticky keys noise. It makes just a short contracted squeak rather than the proper noise when you activate it or any of the other shortcuts. The noises in the middle work fine, but not the On/off tones. I've found this with lots of people's computers but never any of the ones at school. I have XP Pro too, so what's causing it, my PC speaker?
I doubt it, since I changed my case, and for a while it did work, then stopped again. Besides, the school have various different computers and all of them make the noise properly.
What gives?

Have you ever applied a theme to win XP? When a theme is applied, some noises/sounds get changed as well. They may not have changed back. you should be able to reassign the proper sound by going to Sounds under control panel.

No, I haven't installed any themes, but it's not a speaker noise, it's the one that comes from the PC speaker in the case, from either pressing Shift 5 times, holding down numlock for 5 seconds, holding down Rshift for 8 seconds, pressing Alt+Shift+PrintScreen or Alt+Shift+Numlock
Every one of those causes the same noise.
What's weirdest is that it worked once, then after I next booted the PC it didn't again...

Is it the sound settings under accesibilty options?
I wouldn't have thought so, because it seems to be use or don't, but could be worth a shot.
Hope you get sorted with it.

Now here's the weird part. When I first moved my system over to a new case, with the same install of windows, the noise worked for a while, and had a different tone to it, it sounded more like the noise you get on a laptop PC, I presumed because the pc speaker was different - but then after reformatting and installing a new version of windows, it's not only stopped working properly, but gone back to the old sound tone!!!

I would take it in to a church and have an excorcism performed.

Well, that's the thing, it's not this PC that does it, every other person I know has a PC that has the problem!!!! The only computers that don't suffer are those at school!
