Built-in Beep not working from Windows

I develop software for Windows from within Boot Camp on my MBP and I discovered that the Windows API Beep() [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms679277(VS.85).aspx] does not seem to work! I am running Windows XP SP2.
I checked to ensure that the Beep.sys driver was installed and that the appropriate service was started (net start beep).
Has Apple neglected support for the standard built-in speaker?
Does anyone have a workaround?

Hi again, Hariharan
If you right-click on the first selection in the image (the microphone) and select Properties, you should be able to see the driver in formation on the Driver tab in the new window. Can you list the driver Provider, Date, and Version? Also, how long have you had the machine, and how long was the microphone working properly before this issue began?
Thanks in advance,
Adam

Boot Camp Not Working From Windows Control Panel

Hi,
When I click on the 'Boot Camp' icon in the Windows Control Panel I get the usual warning from UAC. When I select 'Allow' I get an error message along the lines that "I don't have permission to access the startup disk" & the app will not run.
I have tried running it as administrator but the result is the same.
Does anyone know how to rectify this so that I can get this utility working correctly again?
Thanks

On the disk Management I tried to set the disk with the OSX partition as active and restarted, and ended up having Missing Operating System error.
Fortunately I managed to solve that problem but still I am unable to switch back to Mac.
Help is needed and much appreciated

Hi Tee Ee Foong,
According to your post, the gpresult showed the GPO was applied and the script could run successfullymanully in the client. Right? Please follow the following step to narrow down
the issue:
1. Change the script to the following command: add
> %SystemDrive%\Users\test.txt to the script.
2. Log on to a client with a regular user account, run gpupdate/force, and then re-log on to this client.
3. Check if the test.txtfile exists in this location %SystemDrive%\Users.
If the test.txtfile exists, the GPO with logon script is applied successfully when user logs on. But the result of running logon script achieves the goal we excepted or not which
is still not sure.
Regards,
Lany Zhang

Hp pavilion dv6-3151sf built-in speaker not working

Need help on hp pavilion dv6-3151sf built in speakers not working but can hear sound using the headphone. Is there a service manual on how to replace or check the speakers?

Hi there @JINGDOMS
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! It is a great place to find the help you need, both from other users, HP experts and other support personnel.
In answer to your question about the service manual, there sure is, and I am happy to help you with this.
You can find it on the support page for your model, or just use this link: HP Pavilion dv6 Entertainment PC - Maintenance and Service Guide.
Within the service guide you will find the replacement instructions for the individual assemblies, and also the part numbers. I would start with just checking the connection to make sure it is good, and if there is still no sound from the speakers, you can also try this page as well, before replacing the part.
No Sound from the Speakers (Windows 7)
If you determine that is a faulty speaker and you want to get replacement parts, take a took at this page:
HP Notebook PCs - Ordering HP Certified Replacement Parts
Let me know if you need any further assistance.

Run this code to reproduce the issue.Which issue?
It looks like inheritance is broken in the component hierarchy for JFrame in Windows 7 JDK 1.6.0_23-b05. The only thing remotely related to inheritance in your code snippet is the WindowListener, which does little. See camickr's advice about built-in exit management.
EDIT - using the post title as a clue, I realize you may be talking about the component hierarchy, and whether the contentPane's background is visible through the upper layers. Instead of guessing, I'd prefer you describe your "issue" accurately (observed vs expected behavior).

APPLE mouse & keyboard not working with Windows (Bootcamp)

I installed Leopard and Windows XP on my Mac Pro. The installation went very smoothly. Only problem I have is that my Apple wireless keyboard and mouse do not work on Windows (frozen) although they work fine on Leopard. I tried a Logitech wireless trackball and it works fine on both Windows and Leopard. Any suggestion?

Thanks. I upgraded from Tiger and downloaded Bootcamp from Leopard Installation disc ( I did not have a beta version ). I then installed Windows XP SP2 ( brand new, just bought for that purpose ). Wonder if Mac wireless keyboard and mouse are compatible with Window. Everything else work beyond my expectation.

ITunes 9 Home Sharing does not work on Windows 7 x64

iTunes 9 Home Sharing does not work on Windows 7 x64.
Getting the following error message:
Home sharing could not be activated because this computer is not authorized for the account "iTunes account." Please authorize this computer and try again.
This is a bug since my computer is authorized in iTunes and there is only 2 computer authorized for my iTunes account, so I have 3 more left till I should get this message.
I've just upgraded my iPhone to OS 3.1 using it this morning.
Please advise.
Environment: Windows 7 x64, HP TouchSmart tx2-1020us Notebook

<edited by host>

I am using Windows 7 x64.
I am running iTunes 9.0.2.25
I am running Mcafee.
I can see and play music from the iTunes installation on my Windows 7 machine, but I CANNOT access the library to copy songs from this computer to other computers on my network.
YES, I have enabled "Home Sharing" using my iTunes account. NO, I have not authorized more than 5 computers on this account.
I believe this to be a Windows 7 related issue, as Home Sharing worked as advertised when I was using Vista (before I upgraded to Windows 7).
I CAN set up Home Sharing on two other (host) computers in my home network and it works. These computers are XP and a MacBook Pro. I CANNOT access my Windows 7 machine x64 to COPY music from one autorized library to another. Please help!!!
P.S. - I have attempted to get this to work by turning OFF my McAfee firewall. Windows firewall is disabled.

MFA not working on Windows Server 2012 R2

Been using MFA since PF days. Deployed it successfully many times but for some reason it's not working with Windows Auth, Terminal Services on a Win 2012 R2 DataCenter box? The machine was successfully added to my domain PhoneFactor group, I
can see and add the machine on the master MFA. Services are running but when I remote in I go right through without MFA stopping me? Any ideas?
TIA

6.3.0 has just been released and 2012 R2 is *still* not supported. What the hell?!?
"Version 6.3.0 of the Azure Multi-Factor Authentication Server adds the
following additional functionality:
* Added one-way SMS functionality for AD FS, RADIUS and User Portal
* Added .csv file import for OATH tokens
* Added support to parse phone numbers in E.164 format during import
From the directory
* Fixed problem preventing slave servers from performing MFA if the
master server was unavailable. This problem was found to exist in
all 6.2.x builds. All customers running 6.2.x should upgrade to 6.3.
* Fixed directory sync issue for recursive security groups
* Added additional logging to AD FS adapter
* Other minor bug fixes and security improvements
Known Issues:
* Windows Authentication for Terminal Services is still not supported for
Windows Server 2012 R2"
So they added a whole stack of other functionality, but still didn't get around to taking a look at this bug. I'm stunned. Is there any sort of timeline on fixing this, or is 2012 R2 just going to remain unsupported forever?

Oracle OutSideX Viewer is not working in Window 7

Hi All,
We are having standard client/server application which uses oracle outsidex activex control as OLE viewer container for viewing office files.
this controls works file in XP machine, but failed to work from Window 7 (64bit).
It failed to call outsidex method -Object.ViewFile(false, finename, 0, 0, false, "", false, "");
Error is "this method cannot be invoked in a Windowless state!"
Best regards
Prasad
Edited by: user13302064 on Oct 19, 2011 6:36 AM

This error is likely related to the Viewer library (sccvw.dll) and indicates that it cannot be loaded. First reason could be missing Visual C++ package and another could be that FilterPath variable is not pointing to the location of the OIT libraries. Refer to the 2.2 Installing the ActiveX Control as Part of Your Application: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E16184_01/dev.837/e12847/c02_gettingstarted.htm
If this is not the case than I'm out of idea.

CaptureDeviceManager.getDeviceList is not working in Windows VISTA.When

CaptureDeviceManager.getDeviceList is not working in Windows VISTA.When I run the Application from vista using a jar file.But it is running if i run it from class file without use the jar file.

This pretty much says it all:
No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.What version of Vista?
What version of the agent? ... 10g is not a version number it is a marketing label
Did you check to see if the agent is compatible with your operating system?
My recommendation would be to get a real operating system: Either Oracle Linux or XP.

Flash 10.2 not working in Windows 7 IE8 despite 'successful' installation

Hi there,
I downloaded flash player to attempt to view flash media on sites such as bbc website and youtube.
Despite the installation claiming to be successful, I still cannot view video on any sites I have tried.
(bbc website says I don't have the correct version, youtube says I need to upgrade)
My system details are as follows:
Windows 7 Home Premium, 32-bit operating system
Internet Explorer 8.0.7600.16385IC (it makes no mention of being 64-bit)
Flash Player 10.2.152.26
I have tried following the troubleshooting guides on the adobe website, particularly 'Flash player does not work in Windows 7'
but I have not managed to fix the problem.
I've also gone through several threads on this forum, relating to similar problems, but I'm sorry I haven't been able to fix it.
So far, the stuff I have tried is listed below, but since it has not worked, I assume I have done something incorrectly, missed something,
or I have not yet found the right solution.
The Flash Player does not appear on my programs list, but it does show up in the control panel/list of installed programs.
I don't know how to get flash player to run on its own, so I can't access settings etc. for the hardware acceleration.
The folder located at C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash contains 5 files:
Flash10m.ocx; FlashInstall.log ; FlashUtil10m_ActiveX.dll; FlashUtil10m_ActiveX.exe; install.log
When I visit the adobe page for testing flash player, it does not show me any animation; there is a blank white rectangle with a tiny red 'X' in its top left corner, which I assume should be a box containing the version information if the player had been recognized.
I have looked at the IE8 'tools/Manage Add-Ons - 'show' All Add Ons, and there is no listing of 'Shockwave Flash Object'
although there is a listing of   'shockwave activeX control' which is enabled.
I've set my IE8 security settings to medium for the categories of 'Trusted Sites' and 'Internet' and I've made sure to set:
'Download Signed ActiveX Controls' to 'Prompt' and 'Run ActiveX Controls And Plug-ins' to 'Enable'
I've tried unintalling the flash player using the specified tool, removing the adobe download tool, and manual re-installation.
Finally, I tried (with much hesitation) to modify the registry key referred to in the Flash-Killer or 'kill-bit' guidlines.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\ActiveX Compatibility\{D27CDB6E-AE6D-11CF-96B8-444553540000}
The key existed, with a Name: compatibility flags ; Type: REG_DWORD ; Data: 0x0000400 (1024)
So I changed the value from 400 to 000 as suggested.
This is not worked either, despite uninstalling flash player, re-booting and re-installing.
Finally, I updated the graphics driver for my ATI RADEON HD 5670 card, but aside from scaring me by drastically altering the screen resolution and not allowing me to roll back the driver, it has unfortunately not solved the flash player problem.
I appreciate that the people with expertise have given loads of help on this problem, I hope I haven't missed something important when following the advice, but I'm pretty stuck, so if anyone can help, I thank you very much.
thanks,
pad

Hi eidnolb,
unfortunately, the installation of FP 9.0.280 based on running flashplayer9r280_winax.exe has not worked:
I cannot see the animation / spinning, there is no animation and no box showing the version.
(I have included a partial screenshot in this message, file name flashplayer_test_screenshot.jpg)
Therefore, I did not continue with the instructions.
The control panel list of programs does show 'Adobe Flash Player ActiveX' as being installed, version 9.0.280.0
There were no messenger utilites listed in the system tray.
As you advised, the first thing I did was to modify the {D27CDB6E-AE6D-11CF-96B8-444553540000} registry key value from 400 to 000.
After modifying the value by making it Zero, I re-started the computer.
Regarding Administrator Account, I looked on ther 'User Accounts' information, and there is only one user, my dad, and he is listed as Administrator.
Sorry, but I will need to ask for your further advice. In case it is useful, I tried to get a list of all processes that were running on the computer
(in case some of them inhibit the installation. most of them don't mean anything to me, even when they are given a description by the windows 7 Task Manager Processes List - I have pasted the text file below in this post, since I couldnt see how to attach files.)
thank you for your help,
pad2001

SoundBlaster 5.1 not working in Windows 7

)SoundBlaster 5. not working in Windows 7E Hello all, I installed a SoundBlaster 5. VX sound card into my system: A Fujitsu-Siemens Celsius M430, 3.4 GHz Intel processor, 2GB of RAM and a fresh installation of Windows 7 Ultimate (retail version). I initially tried to use the drivers provided on the product CD, which during installation gave me a bluescreen. After reboot, I downloaded the latest drivers for Windows 7 from the CLE website. But still, the drivers seem to not install correctly - I get a message that the SB 5. VX is ready for use, but the speaker symbol still shows a red cross and when I click on it, Windows suggests me to re-install the drivers, which gives me the same results even after rebooting. In the Device Manager, the device has a yellow exclamation mark besides it. Additonally, I may mention that the onboard sound device is a SoundMax onboard system, which I now have disabled. Anyhow, the SounbdBlaster is recognized by CLE AutoUpdate software (but needs no update according to the mesages). I'm a bit thrown up, did anybody encounter the same problems or have a solution yet? Cheers Dennis

I have a subwoofer and 5 speakers (2 for front, 2 for rear, 1 for center)...Philips MMS460 5.1. Connection to the on-board RealTek HD Audio is simple, orange for the subwoofer, green for front and black for rear.I have already tried downloading the latest drivers from the motherboard manufacturers website,I have tried connecting the subwoofer connectors to different jacks (reversed black and green).
I have experimented with the settings in the RealTek HD Audio Manager and Control Panel->Sound windows. Nothing works.
These exact same subwoofer and speakers worked perfectly fine in vISTA Home basic
1. Disconnect the speaker system from the pc rear audio panel
2. Remove the on-board audio using the "Add or Remove Hardware" option in Control Panel
3. Reboot the pc, install the driver. Re-connect the speaker system.
4. Using the Sound applet found in Control Panel, configure the speakers for surround sound
5. Reboot the pc.
And now resume all of that ...i have been on Realtek hd audio manager->Speaker configuration set on 5.1 making the test ...EVERITHING WORKS FINE but ...finally when i open for example WINAMP AND PLAY A SONG ....is only played on front *or stereo..So on what im wrong?

Java thread not working in windows 7

I have a Java app that runs just fine on Windows XP. However, on Windows 7 there is a problem related to a job being done via a Java thread.
Background: The app spawns a separate job via a Java thread and continues on while the spawned job executes. In other words, 2 things happen at once.
Problem: On Windows 7, when the app spawns the job, Windows sits and waits for the spawned job to complete before it continues on. In other words, 2 things DO NOT happen at once.
It's as if Java threading does not work in Windows 7. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for the input, guys. From now on I'll be sure to include a SSCCE.
I'm beginning to believe this is actually my ignorance of threading in SWT, and XP was more forgiving than 7.
I would include a SSCCE, but of the 4 different ways I tried to get this to work I wouldn't know which to include since all failed to fix the problem.
If you want to identify a link to a web page identifying 'best practices' for SWT threading, that would be great. Be aware though that there's a good chance I've already googled the page.
