Anyway to install Beep.sys

J

James

Hi,

I have a PC running XPe, and it does not have the "Beep.sys" component loaded.

Is there any way to install that component or driver after the image has
been built?

I bought this PC from a POS vendor, so I can't change the XPe image, except
for installing after the fact.

I can't find any way to install the .sys file.

Thanks in advance.

Place the beep.sys file in the C:\Windows\system32\drivers\ directory and
add the following registry keys:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Beep\ErrorControl
REG_DWORD 1
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Beep\Group REG_SZ Base
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Beep\Start REG_DWORD 1
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Beep\Tag REG_DWORD 2
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Beep\Type REG_DWORD 1

Thanks Shawn.

I've placed the Beep.sys in the directory, and added the keys as you
suggested.

However, when I go into Device Manager, and Show Hidden Devices, and open
Non Plug and Play Drivers, I still don't see the BEEP driver (that shows up
in my XP PRO desktop).

When I open up the application that I am trying to use, it still doesn't
beep either.

Is there any other registry entry I need to make? I've seen another one
called HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\Enum\Root\LEGACY_BEEP?

Thanks

I tried adding the other keys, and then rebooting.

The "Beep" driver still doesn't show in Device Manager, and my app isn't
getting a beep.

Any other ideas?

I've looked for any type of XP download for the BEEP.SYS driver so I could
install it, but did not have any luck.

I can't believe there isn't a way to re-install this (especially with all
the posts about beep.sys being infected with virus).

Thanks

Yes, it beeps fine during boot up. It's a touchscreen monitor, and the
monitor calibration program is beeping fine also, so the internal speaker is
working fine.

Whenever you touch the touchscreen, it's making a beep.

I'm not sure what you meant by "pezo" speaker device.

But the internal is working fine.

CurrentControlSet is just a pointer to one of the numbered
ControlSet00x
trees, and is the one currently in use, so changing the value in
CurrentControlSet is sufficient. The other numbered ControlSet00x
trees
are the last known good and failed (if any) control sets, so you
generally shouldn't directly edit them and in any case don't need to.

I have exactly the same problem with Beep.sys not present in Windows XP embedded.

I did what the people suggested to you in this forum but no success.

Did you finally find a solution ?

Did you re-boot the system

Probably a good idea to add keys for ControlSet002\ and ControlSet001

Let me ask this, is there a pezo speaker device in the system to output
beeps? What about other sounds
