Taken plunge to Win 10

[Merv Millward]

G'day Bob and all,

After running my ACP Windows 7 installation since 2013 and recently the added Sheduler engine, I look as though I've succesfully migrated everything to Windows 10.

So now, on this faster 64 bit machine, I now have ACP/Scheduler, MaximDL, QSI/Lodestar, FocusMax V4 and MaxDome running and since the 64bit version of SkyX came out early this year, I even bit the bullet and installed this for driving my ever reliable Paramount MX mount. I managed to bring 90% of all configs onto Windows 10 and surprised to have it all running in just under a day.

My only "fault" was a clicking sound on ACP when a browser was accessing the ACP - and this is the main reason I am writing this - I found it on this forum after running a search for clicking sound - might sound trivial but the sound was objectionable and after all the other complexities, I could not solve this one!!!

Anyway Bob, thanks again for this forum -its saved me again!!

cheers, Merv

... Now back to Astronomy

Hi Merv,

Nice to hear everything worked well for your update to Windows 10. Bob's out of the office for a few days more, so I thought I would help you with your "fault."

Go to the ACP Obs Control folder and rename the file "WebHit.wav" to anything else, e.g. like "WebHitGone.wav" (You might want to restore it later...) You could just delete the file, too. That's it.

Here's an old message from 2014 that deals with this: http://forums.dc3.com/showthread.php...lick#post47608

G'day and thanks very much Dick for another way of stopping the click - I did find it thanks to a search here, under Servers in the ACP preferences - just a check box for "Click sound on request"
At the time I couldn't help smiling - that I'd managed to migrate successfully something which I thought would take "several blue Moons" to get right and in the end stumped by a clicking noise!!
Anyway, all looks good at present - I've even wheeled out the Win 7 "ole faithful" box into the paddock

cheers for now, Merv

Merv, I wasn't quite sure whether you had solved the problem or not. I had forgotten about that little checkbox, too. Good luck moving forward.

Ha ha We are in Yellowstone Park. Tomorrow we’re going to Old Faithful (among other places).
