Using the Alert Utility Under Windows
An alert utility, WinAVAlarm, is automatically installed on Windows systems
when 3DM is installed. It can provide immediate notification of events,
through a popup message and an audible alert. By default it is set to notify you
whenever an error (high-severity event) occurs, through both a popup
message and an audible alert. You can configure the alert settings to specify
types of events you want to be notified of: Errors, Warnings, or Information.
