Dear All I have a very, very strange problem. Ocassional when I open a window e.g. My computer in Windows 7 I hear a vage 'dog barking' sounds. I have checked 'sounds' in control panel but cannot seem to find anything of the sort. This only happens occasionally ... I am not crazy as my wife heard it too and wandered what it was ... Any ideas ? Thanks

That's sort of vague. I have three Border Collies and an Queensland Blue Heeler in the house, and all of them have a whole range of different "barks." Try this: start > all programs > Administrative Tools > System configuration click on the "startup" tab Do you see anything in the list you don't recognize or remember installing? If so, uncheck the box next to the item, click on "OK" and reboot the computer and see if the behavior persists. If you're not sure, post the name of the item here and someone will be happy to run it down for you.

Technically would this fall under the catagory of a bug or a dog?Mr. Seven makes it happen.

Sometimes when my secondary HDD starts it makes a bark-like hiccupsound, if not this somhow the seach companion dog from XP found it's way on to your system partition.If it's not Mr. Seven it's not.
