Hi Benjamin!
BS> CN> Bought a new computer and transferred telemate over to it and all
BS> CN> appears to be working fine except...... the stupid little song or 
ell
BS> CN> that plays when connecting or finished a download.
BS>  This is selected by TMINST.EXE -> Alarm Song.  Highlight the song you 
want
BS>press [Enter], then [Esc] to abort the silly thing.  Then hit [Esc] again, 
a
BS>backtrack out of TMINST.  Be sure to "Save" your options to disk when 
exitin
BS>  Also check that these are above 0 (I use 90 for both):
BS>    Telemate -> Options -> Alarm Sound
BS>    Telemate -> Options -> Alarm Time
BS> CN> Have a soundblaster pro installed. Where in the heck do I find the
BS> CN> area to fix this??
BS>  If you want, you can have your SB play an external file when the alarm
BS>sounds.  This is done by Telemate -> Options -> External Alarm.  When 
checke
BS>this causes Telemate to shell and run TMALARM.BAT whenever the alarm 
sounds.
BS>This is covered more completely in the docs (hint, hint :), but basically 
yo
BS>put a WAV or VOC or MOD player in TMALARM, and you can have whatever you 
wan
BS>as an alarm sound.  Cool, no?  :)
Okay, I am not as stupid as I thought. I have done all of the above and
even downloaded Telemate again and reinstalled it and the bell still
wont work. Could an irq conflict with the soundblaster cause the music
to stop??
Thanks for your help!
