I have a fairly new Dell 410 with OEM Vista Home Premium. It has worked well in most cases, except recently all sounds associated with programs quit working. The start-up and shut-down sounds with Windows work and sound works with video playback,...

One of the first things I did with Windows Vista is I turned the sound effects off. Lately, I haven't even had my speakers turned on. But recently I turned them on and found that every time I hovered my mouse over an area where I can make a selection (a pane that includes checkboxes, radio buttons, etc.), I get this quick, futuristic sound of a woosh followed by computery beeping. I went into the sounds control panel and saw that I still had the No Sounds theme, and there were no modifications in the list. I then played all sounds in c:\windows\media, and none of them matched. I then searched for all WAV files on my computer, selected all and played them in WMP (very entertaining), but none of those matched, either. I don't know what to do. If no one's familiar with this sound, perhaps someone knows of a way to see what sound is being called up by my computer in real-time or in some sort of log?
