7409.0. "Starion 930 -lost speaker icon from taskbar, and MMTASK error from Winnie the Pooh" by CSC32::G_OGLESBY (Ginny Oglesby 592-4731 CSC/CS) Wed Apr 09 1997 19:49

Hello,

I have two questions:

1. I installed the Telecommander patch, AD90102B.EXE, and since then the volume
speaker icon which normally displays next to the time in the far right
of the taskbar is missing.  Any ideas on how to recover this?

2.  In running with VS002119 for the drivers for the S3 trio video card.
Disney's Winnie the Pooh fails on startup with MMTASK error.  In the past,
at a previous driver level, I phoned Disney and they had me set the
Control Panel/System/Performance/Graphics/Hardware acceleration
down to the lowest notch.  At the time this resolved the problem.

Currently, if I set the hardware acceleration to the lowest notch,
and reboot, on reboot I go into Safe Mode and must reinstall the video
drivers.  I've tried setting the acceleration up again to the second
notch, but a reboot takes me back into safe mode.

Any ideas?

7409.1	Isn't it supposed to disappear?	KAOFS::C_MENENDEZ	CARLOS, SOO ONT MCS (705)945-7862	`Wed Apr 09 1997 21:45`	5
	I might be wrong, but I think in the release notes for the drivers it is stated that the icon will dissapear and that volume is controlled somwhere else. Carlos

	I'm pretty sure what dissapears is the "3D" icon from the tool bar. It can be found in "options" after you double-click the speaker icon. Mike
7409.3	I don't have the speaker icon in the task bar.	CSC32::G_OGLESBY	Ginny Oglesby 592-4731 CSC/CS	`Thu Apr 10 1997 13:02`	7
	Thanks so far. Maybe I'm using the wrong terms, sorry. But the speaker icon is what is missing. It used to display in the task bar, just next to the clock. How can I get to the 'options' if I don't have the speaker icon? Thanks again.

	Control Panel - System. Get the Properties for the sound card, and there should be an option to restore the speaker icon in the tray. Steve
7409.5	Check your settings	PCBUOA::GKELLEY		`Thu Apr 10 1997 17:37`	9
	I believe that the speaker icon on the system tray is put there by Win95 when it detects that you have a sound card and that the Volumn Control for the WAVE device is enabled. You might what to double check the settingsin Device Manager for the Telecommander - there is a listing of what all the settings should be in one of the README files that came with the upgrade. regards, glen kelley

	However, the icon often goes missing - I've seen this reported many times. Steve
7409.7	There is a checkbox somewhere....	CHOWDA::FAHEY	Are we having 'FUN' yet?	`Fri Apr 11 1997 10:55`	6
	Somewhere in the properties of a sound related application (volume control or perhaps media player there is a check box to put the speaker icon on the task bar.... Just did this recently but I can't remember exactly where it is..... best guess is volume control...advanced... Jim
