I'm trying to play a 24bit audio file with my AutoHotkey app. It just uses SoundPlay . Windows 7 has no problem, however Windows XP users cannot play the 24bit files.

Possible fixes mentioned in the article How to play 24bit WAV files in Windows Media Player are fixing the problem for Windows Media Player, however but not for autohotkey: Step-by-step guide Download Legacy HD Audio Filter regsvr32

I've been trying to use Eclipse CDT to do some c++ examples, i can run them just fine with the run command, but whenever i try to Debug, the console window freezes up, I'm able to input, but the program doesn't continue.

P.S: I am mainly working in Delphi 2007 but these question are specific to the Win32 API. I am unfamiliar with Delphi's implementation of Windows services but wherever you set the controls accepted by the service you should add SERVICE

I am currently using the following code, which is based on that found here: Getting output from a shell/dos app into a Delphi app function GetDosOutput(ACommandLine : string; AWorkingDirectory : string): string; var SecurityAttributes : TSecurityAttributes; StartupInfo : TStartupInfo; ProcessInformation: TProcessInformation; StdOutPipeRead, StdOutPipeWrite: THandle; WasOK: Boolean; Buffer: array[0..255] of AnsiChar; BytesRead: Cardinal; Handle

I have a WPF application (.NET 3.0, VS2008) that displays data in a tab control. Custom colors are required on virtually all controls in this application : basically white foreground and green background. My problem is that when an XP theme (say Luna) is active, it is automatically applied to render controls so that my white text is written on ... a white background. For instance on the active tab item header : I have tried : to remove the embedded manifest file from the generated application (in the project properties) : useless. to force the use of the Windows Classic theme in the

I'm setting up a development version of a live server on Webfaction, running Django apps in a virtual Apache server environment (running without any errors) on my local machine - XP, running XAMPP Lite with Python 2.6 - which I can commit changes from via Git. XAMPP is up and running OK with Python, and the server starts perfectly with WSGI module loaded.
