new pages click open on my rig..(not a laptop).........they clicked open on my last pc too........mynoise is definitely a noise caused by the pages opening...........and is assignened to that event by winxp...........it is called the winxp menu command sound
you can find it in c/windows/media
try it...........if thats your sound then its not a problem and u can turn it off if u want to
but if that is not the sound you hear then i'd have the laptop checked out incae the hdd is about to go belly up!
