At 21 I can still hear these and I have to say it isn't just annoying it does hurt. I stood in a queue for a cinema for about 10 mins with some friends with one of those in the background. Most of my friends couldn't hear it but after a couple of minutes it gave me the most unbelievable headache. I could leave if I wanted to but a child too young to speak is just going to have to suffer in silence
It was some sort of host services stopped working error. I fixed it in the end by deleting (I think) the prefetch file. Funnily enough this worked for a few days and then was replaced by a new error message, that's right about when I switched to XP
I don't know whether you are in the majority or I am, but having used Vista for 3 months (Oh the horror!)I recently downgraded to XP. With Vista I got at least one error message every time I booted up, then another one every couple of hours. And random blue screens of doom followed by Vista deciding my copy was no longer valid (I swear it was probably the only legal copy of Windows I've ever used so the irony was not lost on me). Also games either wouldn't run or would run but with much lower graphics than they do now that I'm using XP. Having spent 3 months dealing with problem after problem with Vista before I finally gave up, you'll forgive me if I occasionally badmouth it.
