I'm using Expression Media for the first time.  I imported a folder of 4300 photos and it says that all files were scanned in the activity log.<br/><br/>Things seem to be working, although a bit sluggish, but it keeps beeping every 10 seconds or so while it is the active app even if I don't touch it.<br/><br/>Are the beeps indicating some error?  I don't see anything in the event log.  How do I troubleshoot this problem?<br/>© 2009 Microsoft Corporation.

So for instance, if you try to click in the app when a dialog box is up or something like that. But in this case, you say that it's beeping every so often even if you aren't doing anything? Weird!<br/><br/>All I can think of is that something is conflicting. Are you on Mac or Winodws? Do you have any timed processes that run on your system?

I wonder what SlingPlayer is doing that would affect Expression Media. Or is SlingPlayer beeping in the background because we are blocking it in some way? Very strange issue. <br/><br/>I don't have any way to test this since I don't have the SlingBox.
