Re: [ql-users] The Wall, etc, etc
The sound is rather like grinding gears and also happened when I had problems with flp1_ running QPC2 3.03 under XP. Is there any possible BEEP command that could get around this problem and where should it be put?? Or will we all have to wait until you are less pressured?

Now how do I then replace the unpleasant beep in XP with the pleasant beep in 98? I have no idea what an unpleasant beep might be. In theory both systems should sound the same. Marcel

Sounds ok, I've put it on the wish list. Do you hope to add the sound options available from MenuConfig of SMSQE.bin at the moment to the startup configuration dialogue in a future version? Eventually, yes. Currently it's just too much work. Marcel

Why not just write an empty command that takes any number of arguments and does nothing? Load it as a toolkit into the instance of SBASIC that has the offending program, andit'll replace the keyword that is causing your problem, be it BEEP or SOUND. ;) Dave

Re: [ql-users] The Wall, etc, etc
Thanks for the info, I have got Service Pack 1 and I think that I have up-to-date drivers since I am listening to a USB FM Radio playing beautiful music at the moment. I have a feeling that it has something to do with BEEP but do not know where to put the instruction so as to make it work!!

Try the Control Panel, Under 'Sounds' you can change any sound to one of your liking Regards Mike [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.macnamaras.com - Original Message - From: Michael Berger [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 31, 2002 9:05 PM Subject: Re: [ql-users] The Wall, etc, etc Thanks for the info.

Microsoft has issued Service Pack 1 for XP which can be downloaded their site -- available for the past month ... it is a free download. In addition to fixing (?) a security hole (!), it may have updated drivers.

Re: [ql-users] The Wall, etc, etc
If the Service Pack doesn't help (not all driver changes get into these at first shot due to the number of them and the qualification requirements), depending on what computer you are using and who makes the sound chips, you can try the computer manufacturer's websight first and then, if still no improvement or new drivers found, you should try the chip maker's websight. jim On Wednesday, October 30, 2002, at 03:08 AM, Al Feng wrote: Microsoft has issued Service Pack 1 for XP which can be downloaded their site -- available for the past month ... it is a free download.
