Really Effective

This is a known problem and is currently being investigated. The current workaround to solve these issues is to disable multiple device support. You may need to uninstall and then reinstall Sound Control if you are unable to display the Options screen. Please note that uninstalling and reinstalling the application will reset your application settings.

The new newsletter is now active. Old subscribers should receive an e-mail soon asking them to confirm their subscription. The e-mails asking old subscribers have now been sent. If you have not received one either try resubmitting or send an e-mail to the address below detailing your e-mail address you used to subscribe and we will investigate. The support pages now include facilities to change the application currently being viewed.

It has taken several months but welcome to the new Really Effective web site. The site is now database driven which will make it easier to update which will lead to more application releases, pro-active information on the status of BETA’s and better support via FAQ’s and a new forum. Over the coming months you can now expect updates to Sound Control and TICK together with hopefully some brand new applications.

You have probably noticed the addition of a Shareware* category in the menu bar. Currently this is empty but the plan is to release a series of brand new applications building on the success of Sound Control and TICK. *It has not been decided whether these new applications will be released as Shareware or not. Since the release of Sound Control and TICK as freeware e-mails containing feedback have been greatly reduced (not the effect I wanted) but downloads of both applications have increased dramatically. The future of Freeware is in your hands.

If your software is about to expire or is requesting a registration key you must download the latest version to remove both of these limitations.  Applications now contain no fixed expiry dates, no requirements for registration keys and are 100% freeware.  Use the TICK or Sound Control links for a list of the most recent downloads.

For the CD Player hot keys to function correctly you must ensure you have an Audio CD in your CD-ROM drive and you have selected the correct CD Drive in the CD Player options.

You can reset this option by uninstalling the appropriate application by using the Control Panel - Add/Remove Programs functions or the Uninstall shortcut added to the start menu. After uninstalling you should reinstall the application using the latest version from the web site. This will install the application with the default settings that include not hiding the applications notification icon. Please note that uninstalling and reinstalling the application will reset your application settings. Whilst uninstalling an error message may be displayed asking you to close all running instances of the application. As the notification icon has been hidden giving you no means of closing the application you should display the Task Manager - Processes tab using the CTRL-ALT-DEL key press and locate sc.exe / tick.exe in the list and end the process. This will cause all unsaved data to be lost.
