Use one of the following two methods to work around the problem.
Problems using the Microsoft Natural Keyboard

steps below:

2. Double-click the Keyboard icon.
3. Select Sounds Off on the Options tab.
Video Driver Problems
---------------------
Make sure your video driver is a current version.
If you are using a video chipset compatible with standard Super VGA drivers,
change your display driver to Super VGA 640x480, 256 colors.
NOTE: Before you make changes to your display driver, always make a copy of the
SYSTEM.INI file, located in the WINDOWS directory. For more information about
how to perform this task in Windows, see your Windows printed documentation or
online Help.
For a list of video cards that are compatible with SVGA, please see the following
