      I'm willing to help you out. I dual boot my 2 TB hard drive with Windows 7 (x64) and Windows 8 (x64). I also run Fedora Linux (not that applies :P). I also have VirtualBox that I can load up some other OSes and test for you. Let me know if you want me to help you out. I can download the app tomorrow. Shoot me an email: tyler.candee@hotmail.com Happy Coding!

        I sent a request and am waiting for the activation code. In the melee, going by the screenshot, I observe that one of the screens has a typo. The word 'Cancel' in 'Change Password' has an inadvertent typo: http://www.greennaturesoft.com/products/spkad/images/chpass.PNG[^]

          With respect to the screen (http://www.greennaturesoft.com/products/spkad/images/login.PNG[^]), I would go by an active email hyperlink which can open the default email client and/or default web browser. At the minimal, at least copying the said URL to windows clipboard is recommended.

            BETA Review Tested on: Windows 7 (x64), Windows Vista (x32), and Windows 8 Pro (x64) Pros: The interface is simplistic. The user knows mostly what they want when they open the application. The usage of the application is very intelligent. It works to turn the sound up, down, and off. It works with a hierarchy also. The first checked box is run first. If that’s not checked, it moves to the one below it, and so forth. It allows for password protection, so that you little brother can’t get on it and mess with your settings. It allows for activation. Cons: Some of the bugs and let downs I encountered while testing this application are as follows: • When I muted the currently enabled level, then unchecked the level, it would not unmute. It will unmute when I uncheck the mute checkbox. But when that box is checked and I uncheck the enabled checkbox, it will not unmute itself. This could be solved by copying the code from the muted checkbox to the enabled checkbox. • When closing the application, it will not put the sound back to where it was before opening the application. This might be a good idea to have. If you think that maybe some people might not want that, you could add a checkbox for it in your settings panel. • I’m not sure the reset messages button is needed. You might want to put that under a menu or a right click menu instead of devoting a whole button to it. It might become wasted space. • In my version of Windows 8 (which I downloaded when it was first released and installed onto my VirtualBox), I had to install .NET Framework 3.5. By the time your users use this application, more than not they will already have at least 3.5. • In Windows 8 (x64), when I click the mute checkbox, it mutes. But when I uncheck it, it doesn’t unmute. Could be a bug in your code. • In Windows Vista (x32), when I boot my computer, it asked permission to run the program. That’s most likely just Vista’s crappy security. My 2¢: Here are some of my recommendations to you, to help you better design/develop your application: • A possible right-click menu for the tray icon. At least include an About item, Open item, Close item, maybe a Website item also. This way the user thinks he has more options than just one form that opens every time he wants to change something. You can add an easy access menu to turn on/off certain levels. • In my opinion (and everyone has a different one ^_^), I think it could use a better interface. More separate between certain areas of the pr

                This is GREAT, Am new to C#. This is my first C# app (Except "hello world"). I was developing this daily. I was corrected most things you told me. Please download here if you like. http://www.mediafire.com/?buf14dp8hsbnura[^] And if you like to keep this app on your PC, Please give me the Request code (Press "Activate the FULL" in App window). I will email back you the Activation code. (thusharaabc@gmail.com) Request code is based on your PC Hard disk serial number. If it not displaying, tell me, it must be a Bug too. And can you please do a little more help? You told me it is not working on Win 8 without .Net 3.5. So i have created a separate versions for (vasta or 7) and for win 8. Download it here: http://www.mediafire.com/?buf14dp8hsbnura[^] If you have a win 8 PC without .Net 3.5 installed , can you test it again? And can you test it in Vista again now? And can you tell me what is the "Permission" message it brings? UAC or other? Am not Rich. I have only one PC (Pentium 4 with windows 7 32-bit). It is not powerful enough for virtual machines. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME

                    Okay, so I was able to test it again on my personal (where it worked fine), Windows 8 where it worked great also (no more having to download .NET 3.5), and on Vista. Vista still wanted admin power. And when I restarted the OS and it tried to run (after I gave it permission) it gave me this error:

                    ************** Exception Text **************
                    System.ArgumentException: Value does not fall within the expected range.
                    at System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ThrowExceptionForHRInternal(Int32 errorCode, IntPtr errorInfo)
                    at CoreAudioApi.AudioEndpointVolume.set_MasterVolumeLevelScalar(Single value)

                    at System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.Callback(IntPtr hWnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wparam, IntPtr lparam)

                    So you might want to look into that. I sent an email with my product code. Still waiting for a verification code though. Looking good though, mate! :)

                      Hi, Thank you for your time. I think i need to install vista on my PC and try doing changes and not bother you anymore. It is working on Windows 8, that's I wanted to test. (I can't install win8 on my P4 machine). You got this Request code (19881205 - My birthday) because you were running it on a virtual box or something. Here is the Activation code for this: 36761211 Master password: 37760115 If you need to use this on a real PC, run this in it and give me the request code. If any software is useful for you in http://www.greennaturesoft.com/[^] just tell me. I will give you all the activation codes. THANKS A LOT, BAY
