Loud be-beeb sound during Windows 2000 startup
I'm running W2K Pro SP4 on a Lattitude D800.
During coldstarts I get an annoying loud be-beeb sound when the Windows startup progress bar misses 5 blocks.
Assumingly around the time where services are starting up.
I do not get any warnings or errors in the event-viewer.
Highly appreaciating any hints on how to switch this sound off - or search for possible causes.

heh, looks like you got a pcmcia nic in you're laptop and as far as i know it is normal it makes that sound when booting up. it means its succesfully initializing youre card.

Thanks for your hint. I do indeed have an integrated PMCIA nic.
- Still wonder if it is possible to configure the sound away?
The adapter has two controllers installed: Texas Instruments PCI7510 CardBus Controller and a
Texas Instruments CardBus Controller with SmartCard.
I did discuss the topic with a colleague and ended up with the quick solution.
For the time being, I have disabled the Controller with SmartCard to make it silent.
