General Windows Vista Development Issues
I can't believe I couldn't get an answer to this one here. You guys have always come through before.
I can't be the only one having this problem.
I even tried calling and paying for an incident report but it took over 45 minutes for them to figure out if it should fall under me being a registered partner, Empowered ISV or just some guy off the street.
They finally wanted to send me to Vista user support not developers.
Anyone still want a challenge I have a new build going out this week.
What if I throw in a WinPatrol golf shirt ![]()

I hate posting "me too"...but I'm hitting this with a pretty simple call to PlaySound as well.
PlaySound(szPath, NULL, SND_FILENAME | SND_ASYNC);
Funny thing is, I get a "success" response from the API, but no sound. And, yes, I've verified that the sound exists and has not changed from my XP application.
Still no answer here.
Apparently Microsoft says I don't have any incident calls left so I still haven't gotten an answer.
I can't believe more people haven't had this problem so I appreciate the "me too" 's
I'm thinking I might have to go with DirectX
Thanks,
Bill
WooHoo...
I'm happy to report a solution to my PlaySound problem under Vista.
Credit goes to Larry Osterman ( http://blogs.msdn.com/larryosterman/ ) who took the time to help and acknowledged that Vista was a little more picky about the format used in WAV files.
It turns out the cbSize byte was incorrect in the WAVEFORMATEX structure. I've been using an old wav editor called CoolEdit96 and obviously I need a newer wav editing program. Modifying the wav file did the trick.
My fans of Scotty who use Vista will be very happy.
Good Luck and enjoy,
