Hi folks, Those of us who has an Apex would be glad to know that there is a "hack" to changing startup sounds. We are "fooling around" with file and folder manipulations.
Once again, just like mPower: USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK! The author is not responsible for damages. You'll need: . A short wav file dated later than March 1, 2010 (about two to three seconds; preferably Windows startup sound). . A storage medium such as a storage card. Steps: 1. On the source storage medium, create a new folder. 2. Underneath this folder, create a new folder called Windows. It needs to be newer than March 1, 2010. 3. Under this directory, put a wav file and rename it to "startup.wav" (without quotes). 4. From Main Menu, go to utilities/Backup or Restore. Press R for Restore. 5. At the source drive, select the source medium. At the folder name, select the folder where Windows folder resides e.g. if the folder structure was called start/Windows/startup.wav, select Start folder. 6. At the restore to prompt, select Flash Disk. After few moments BrailleNote should say, "1 file copied." Perform a Warm Reset (Reset button). At this point, BN will copy the newer sstartup file, replacing the one already there. Note: if "startup.wav" didn't work, try "keysoft startup.wav" instead. You'll also get into "system files need updating" prompts; perform Clean/Clear Settings Reset (Reset with DOTS 4-5-6/JKL) to reinitialize this. To restore the original one, you might need to reinstall the keySoft version that you have, as it burns the ROM image. Again, I strongly caution: don't do this unless you know what you are doing. Cheers, Joseph ___ Replies to this message will go directly to the sender. If your reply would be useful to the list, please send a copy to the list as well.
