Play a new sound event during the Windows logon procedure

Hey all,.

I recently added a new event of sound program in the windows registry (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\. Default value; This is the path where information about sound events, for example the logon Windows Audio, audio device connection, etc.).

I want the sound to be played when a user enters a wrong password in the logon screen. Is there a way to change the code of the winlogon process so that I can allow Windows to play this sound event? If not, is there another way to achieve this?

Take a look at this article:

http://www.codeproject.com/kb/audio-video/soundalerts.aspx?FID=14575&DF=90&MPP=25&noise=3&sort=position&view=quick&select=1325544

It's a really pretty complicated procedure because it might require playing with the code, which quite frankly, I'm not the strongest. I'm thinking that it's too tedious to mess with.

See you soon!

  • during the windows vista pack 2 update my antivirus will become obsolete?

    during the windows vista pack 2 update my antivirus will become obsolete?

    Hi victor,

    It would be useful to know the name and the version of the antivirus program that you use. However, in general (and frankly I can't think an exception) upgrade Vista SP1 to SP2 will not make your out-of-date antivirus.  In fact, it will improve the overall security of your system.  But just to be on the good side, I suggest that you update your AV software once you have completed the upgrade to SP2 and installed all the additional Windows updates which will become available once you do this (and you may need to run a few times to get everything as some may be presented until others have been installed).

    If you want suggestions of security software, please post your version of Vista (e.g., 32-bit Vista Business) as well as the names and versions of any software security you are currently using or have used or had installed even if you've never used (and when the definitions for the software in use have been updated).  These suggestions will be excellent and work well together (even if you can not install two AV programs at the same time, these are not all the AV programs but still aid in the detection and removal of malware, viruses and spyware.  And they are all completely FREE - nothing we suggest will not cost you even a penny and that they will be as good if not better that people pay money to get the bits.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

    I forgot to answer one question:

    You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

    The most likely problem is that this file is missing:

    c:\windows\system32\winlogon.exe

    It might have been put in quarantine (actually deleted) by your antimalware/antivirus program, if you need to replace it.  There are other copies of the file on your system, which you can use to replace the missing file.

    You have to boot your system on something to do that, so if you have no real XP bootable installation CD, make a CD bootable XP (no XP media required) Recovery Console.

    Sometimes there is a problem to get into XP with XP Home Recovery Console, but work on this first, then we will see the replacement of the file:

    If you have no XP bootable media (or aren't sure you have) create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and do not forget.

    This is not the same as recovery disks that may have come to a store to purchase the system.

    You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.

    The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:

    xp_rec_con. ISO

    Download the ISO from here:

    http://www.mediafire.com/?ueyyzfymmig

    Use a new CD and this simple and free program to burn your ISO file and create your bootable CD:

    Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

    It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.

    You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

    When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:

    Press any key to boot from CD...

    Installing Windows... going to pronounce.

    Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

    Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

    You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).

    You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same as the

    C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.

    The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

    For a list of the commands in the Recovery Console, type help at the prompt of commands or read on here XP Recovery Console:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/recovery_console_cmds.mspx?mfr=true

    A good idea before you start things must first verify the integrity of your file system by using the chkdsk command.

    In the command prompt window, run the chkdsk command on the drive where Windows is installed to try to fix any problems on the afflicted player.

    Running chkdsk is fine, even if he finds no problem.  It won't hurt anything to run it.

    Assuming your boot drive is C, run the following command:

    CHKDSK C: /r

    Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.

    It may take a long time for chkdsk complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient.  If the HARD drive led blinks always, chkdsk is something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

    You must run chkdsk/r again until it finds no error to correct.

    When own running chkdsk/r, we can replace the file.

    Thanks for posting your query in the Microsoft Community Forums.

    According to the description, it seems that you wish to change or modify the Windows logon screen and also, you want to change the sound of the system. I will help you in this problem.

    For the opening of window screen:

    Change the logon screen background is not supported by default in Windows 7. You will need to consult a 3rd party program.

    Note:

    With the help of third-party software or a link, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third party software or link can be resolved. Using third-party software or a link is at your own risk.

    For the Windows startup sound:

    I suggest you to follow the steps and check if it helps.

    (a) click Start, select Control Panel, sounds and click on tab "sounds".
     
    From there, you can select the individual and change them in the drop-down list of the default sounds provided by Windows. If you want your own sound select it using Browse. Remember that it should be in format WAV for Windows to run. After you click apply and Ok.

  • Surround sound cut during the game Mass Effect 2 on Windows 7 x 64 bit

    Original title: Surround sound cut while in games

    I gathered all my own office.

    Here are a few basic requirements.

    Procoessor: AMD Phenom II 955 3.2x4

    Motherboard: Asus M4A77T/USB 3.0

    Graphics card: Nvidia GTX 460

    8 GB ram

    Here's my problem:

    My surround sound cut while I play Mass Effect 2. Sometimes not entirely; I'll be able to hear the music, but not dialogue. Other times I can hear the dialogue but not the music.

    I use a headset usb (Logitech G35 7.1 w surround)

    What happens if tried:

    Update the bios.

    Update card drivers his (motherboard onboard)

    Update drivers Logitech G35.

    Patchwork of Mass Effect 2.

    __

    In addition, on people of forums to effect mass who use Windows XP disable their hardware acceleration and solve the problem. I can't find this option in Windows 7 x 64.

    :) Help is appreciated...

    Hi korlath,
    First, make absolutely certain that your soundcard Control Panel, but also the sound properties in the control panel are properly configured to use the number of channels you want.
    If you are still having problems and you want audio equipment, follow these steps:
    a. go to your C:\Users\\Documents\BioWare\Mass Effect\Config directory and rename the file to something else BIOEngine.ini.
    (b) launch Mass Effect without running the Config utility. The game will recreate BIOEngine.ini using the default values, and must correctly identify your audio hardware.
    c. in the in-game Audio hardware settings should already be selected - do not change back to audio software or make other changes to the sound settings.
    Note: Audio: If checked, the game uses hardware acceleration that improves the audio quality and performance. I recommend you check this option in most cases, unless you are having audio problems or other problems. In particular, note that you will need to check this option if you have a multichannel audio system and use more than 2 channels.
    Hope this information is helpful

  • New installation fails during the expansion of the files Windows 7 Pro

    Recently, I built a new computer after my old man died. I installed Windows 7 Pro, I had on the old system. Everything worked well for about a month. Then I started having various errors, some suggesting a memory error. I ran several times using the most comprehensive parameters of memtest and no problem not found. Further inspection, I discovered that a critical system update was applied just before that the problems started. I decided to roll back the change. It does not solve the problem. I tried to do a system repair. That did not work. She only had basic as IE11 and Skype applications. I had also installed the utilities for the motherboard and graphics card. So, I decided to do a clean install. Each time, it fails during the expansion of the files. The error message is, "Windows cannot install required files. The file may be corrupted or missing. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation. "Error code: 0 x 80070570." He gets up to 30% each time. I tried to install for a V300 Kingston SSD (120GB). I also tried another SATA II HDD (750 GB) with the same problems. I downloaded a new ISO and tried to install from that. Yet once, it is not at the same point. I noticed that whenever it creates a partition system reserved 100 MB which is almost full. At one point, I got a message saying that there are about 8 000 MB of free space. (I think that was all trying to manually unzip the files by a tip I found online). I found several suggestions for similar problems, but the solutions proposed did not help. I'm sure it will be a simple solution, but I'm out of ideas. Any help would be appreciated.

    If Memtest86 fails then you need to get into the BIOS and set the RAM timing.  Memtest86 + displays the calendar then use the value displayed and compare to the real specs for your memory.  Also, you may need to increase the voltage to the RAM (in BIOS) place a small amount.

    As regards the function of Intel EIST, let her enabled for now. Then enable it after installing Windows successfully.

    Disconnect any other (additional) internal hard drives and external USB devices.
    Look for any loose hard drive power or cables SATA, graphics card or other power cables.

    First run Memtest86 +:
    It runs from a floppy disk or CD and should eliminate or confirm if one or more of your memory
    sticks are bad or the values of the SPD in the BIOS are correct.
    Let it run for as long as you can: 2,4,6,8 or several hours (at least 3 full passes), so no errors at that time then your ram is OK.
