KB261186: Computer Randomly Plays Classical Music
- an_d_rew 10y agoHuh. Might have been better to pick "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer". That way you'd know what to do when you figured it out...
- raintrees 10y agoWell, you could say "It's a small, small world" might let you know it's about to get quite a bit smaller, from a digital point of view...
- cmdrfred 10y ago"So I got your budget proposal for the new motherboard line, everything looks great except for this line item here, 13.4 Million dollars in song royalties? Can you explain that?"

- bigB 10y agoI remember these times.....Fur Elise playing usually meant overheating issues....I had many a freaked out customer call me about being hacked. Though times haven't changed much, now whenever their internet/facebook/gmail etc.. doesn't work i get the same calls lol
- wean_irdeh 10y agoI know fur elise, but I haven't heard 'it's small, small world'. I can't even find the file in Windows 2000. Does anyone know the music?
- DerekL 10y agoThey probably mean “It's a Small World (After All)”, from the Disneyland ride. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LeQogBE9oM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LeQogBE9oM https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It%27s_a_Small_World https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It%27s_a_Small_World

- satysin 10y agoI believe the sound data is stored in the hardware not the OS. It just so happens to be an MS support article but it says it is a hardware failure (or imminent failure) notification.
- zapu 10y agoOh, wow. I totally had this on one PC back in the day. I thought I was going insane, cause these were the times when I was spending way too much time in front of the screen.

- cvs268 10y agoFunny coincidence - In Taipei, this tone means the garbage truck is here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fs5FekrLO7o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fs5FekrLO7o Quite fitting though. Since the tune starts playing, left powered-on, the PC is going to turn into a hunk of junk soon. :) :)
- rahimnathwani 10y agoThere's a child's riddle related to that: http://kids.yam.com/riddle/riddle.php?aid=505309&sid=0 http://kids.yam.com/riddle/riddle.php?aid=505309&sid=0 The riddle goes: How many lights does a garbage truck have? The answer: Nine of course! Dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun. It's funny only if you understand that the sound of the word for 'light' is the same as the sound you make when sounding out notes.
- greenimpala 10y agoBrilliant!
- davidgerard 10y agoI actually got this one when I was working antivirus tech support.
- askvictor 10y agoNo relation to random Pavarotti syndrome?
- inetsee 10y agoIt should have played "Ride of the Valkyries", as in "I love the smell of a burning motherboard in the morning."
