RE: Anyway to install Beep.sys

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance


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, I rebooted,

I will try to add those other keys.

Did you re-boot the system?

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

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

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

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.
