Migration of Windows 3.x WSS settings Causes OLE Problem (102224)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.1
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 3.1
- Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server 3.1
This article was previously published under Q102224 SYMPTOMS
After installing Windows NT over an existing Windows 3.x installation that
has Windows Sound System (WSS) installed and migrating the Windows 3.x
initialization (.INI file) settings, OLE sound operations no longer work.
CAUSE
When WSS is installed under Windows 3.x it changes the default wave file
player and recorder for embedded sound objects from Sound Recorder to
Quick
Recorder. When these settings are migrated into Windows NT, they cause OLE
sound operations to fail because Quick Recorder does not run under Windows
NT.
RESOLUTION
In order to correct this problem use the following procedure:
- Start Registry Editor.
- From the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE subtree, go to the following key:
SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current Version\Embedding
- Change the SoundRec value from
Sound,Sound,C:\SNDSYS\QRECORD.EXE,Picture
Sound,Sound,SndRec32.exe,Picture
- Go to the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT subtree.
- Change the following values
SoundRec\Protocol\StdExecute\server
SoundRec\Protocol\StdFileEditing\server
SoundRec\Shell\open\command
from
C:\SNDSYS\QRECORDER.EXE %1
