I have a few workstations using Outlook Express with no sound speakers. Is there a way that when an e-mail arrives a visual display pops up on the screen notifying the user that they have new e-mail?

The little flashing icon in the sys tray is too small sometimes for them to notice it.

What is suppose to happen when I enable that setting. Eveything looks the same when I receive an email. I've tried restarting and have tested it on Win NT WS 4.0 and 2000.
