Subject:Registered, but beeps occuring

After reinstalling XP and all my software, I am getting random bursts of noise/beeps when I run Acid 5 or 6. Also, the sample projects won't load the plugins.

I have registered Pro 6, but I cannot register some of my older Sonic Foundry stuff as the registration server is down and from what I recall, Madison is closed on the weekends.
Perhaps the piracy protection from another program is causing the problem?
In any case, if anyone has any recommendations, I would appreciate your advice.

it almost sounds like you have too many programs going....like they are fghting each other for space. i know i've blown mine's mind a couple of times by simply having to much stuff on there. you don't have some kind of weirs vires or pop-up blocker enabled once you reinstalled do you?

I just have the totally patched XP sp2, necessary drivers, my Sony and Sonic Foundry stuff, and a few NI programs. Nothing much running at all, though I have yet to gut the proc list.

However, the problem seems to have stopped once I ran and cancelled all the activation windows. When I ran ACID 6 again, the beeping was gone.

I've been able to register some of the old SonicFoundy versions by using the "register from another computer" option. This creates an HTML file that you open in a browser to obtain the activation code. Before browsing this file, open it in notepad.exe and change "sonicfoundry.com" to "sonymediasoftware.com" everywhere it appears and save it. Open it in a browser and it should now connect to the registration server and fetch the activation code for you.

I found that some spy ware (Web root) can effect the sequencing of certain programs. Shut off start when windows boots and enable when needed.
