Balloons lost with MPE 1.7.1

Beitrag von regent8 »

Hi, I lost the highly valuable feature balloons on my destop for incoming smses, when I upgraded to MPE 1.7.1. Anyone else? (yes the feature is ticketed).

I haven't installed 1.7.1 yet but I know it is a setting. I don't think it is removed.

Press: F2 (Or "File" > "Options"
Select: "Behaviour"
Select in "Message notification" "Balloon help"

As I said, it is not based on ver 1.7.1.

Best regards

There were no changes in this feature in v1.7.1. Maybe you disabled Balloontips for windows global ?
Can other apps display balloontips or does it work with an earlier version of MyPhoneExplorer ?

Normally they works - if not a system-setting disallows balloons in general

It's a newly installed system, so it's odd. But I found a tutorial that force-enables it. Need to reboot though, so I'll report back tomorrow. Meanwhile...

I've check the option "Message notification: Popup window" - but i'm wondering if this windows does show the PING-sms notifications?
Cause I haven't seen the "popup window" in work yet, so I dont even know how it looks like.

The result of a Ping-SMS is shown only in Balloontip. If another user pings you then there is no notification.

Yeah ok.
That explains why I didn't get any notifications from my sent Ping-SMS even though I used "popup windows".

Anyway, today I've (re)booted my Vista with the forced setting:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]
"EnableBalloonTips"=dword:00000001

(I did enable it through gpedit.msc aswell.)


But I still can't see the Balloon tips from MPE. Any suggestions?

Using Vista 64, if that has anything to do with it.

If you SEND a message with MyPhoneExplorer then also a balloon should appear - does this work ?

No it doesn't. No balloon tips from MPE are appearing.

I've just verified that NO balloon tips are workign for me. So it's not an MPE thing. I'll report back when I know more.

Sorry for the posts not really related to MPE.

No Balloons (really only) for MPE

Beitrag von Patrick »

Same problem here. But I'm missing balloons for MPE only! Balloons worked fine until 1.7.1.
Feature was allways and is enabled in the MPE configuration. I tried to change it to have the config data being rewritten. But no effect.
I tried to reinstall MPE. No effect.

Balloons are working fine in the rest of XP. So there's no global problem.

I just noticed, that balloons work with NO function of MPE. I.e neither with receiving notifications, nor with "new message". PopUps works fine (but not with notifications of course).
