Hiya Chris, Sorry to confuse you, all I want is sound/music from web pages I have loaded and are minimized in my toolbar at the bottom to not produce sound when minimized, this has only happened since I've installed IE7. I'm on some web based chat sites that make a sound when a message is there for me, that sound should only appear when I have that page maximized -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Chris Skarstad Sent: Tuesday, 10 July 2007 8:13 AM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: IE7 and disabling sound when minimized Hi. Ok, all this makes sense to me accept this part where you say: >I've tried the escape key no luck and I don't want to turn off sound >in internet options cause I rely on that sound when I maximize the >page again to tell me new incoming messages. I'm not sure what you mean by "incoming messages", are you referring to something like msn/windows live messenger? or something else? There is a windows sound you can assigned to when a window is maximized or minimized so you could just use that as an indicator. On most of the pages I've tried, the escape key works fine, accept for pages that have midi files and sometimes that works, and sometimes not. Really, my best advice to you would be to at least try turning off sounds temporarily, at least to see if it clears up the problem, then you can at least know if it fixes it. I'm still unclear about the incoming messages thing, unless you're in some kind of chat room, IE is meant for regular websites. -- JFW related links: JFW homepage: http://www.freedomscientific.com/ Scripting mailing list: http://lists.the-jdh.com/listinfo.cgi/scriptography-the-jdh.com JFW List instructions: To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
