It's likely simple...

Bought a new APC Smart UPS model SUA750XL. Plugged it all in today.. thought I'd first shoot for the USB connection. Figured Win2K power options per their instructions. I start noticing about every 30 to 45 seconds my windows critical stop sound goes off along with a blip in my mouse cursor (looks like it might be my busy or working in background icon).. it does it three times fast.. then stops and does it can't 30 to 45 seconds later... Drives me insane of course.

So I backtrack.. use their Serial cable and configure Win2K power options as per their documentation. Everything works... but that dang sound and blip is still there.

So I install their own proprietary software, Power Chute Plus... same thing.

I turned the UPS off..plugged the PC into the wall and viola.. it stops..

What's working in the background that makes my critical stop sound go off like that and how can I use the dang thing without going more insane than I already am?

Any help is much appreciated.
