sound not working suddenly
by Guest Richard H Paul- 3 replies
- 230 views
all of a sudden the sound stopped working on most of the applications, but strangely, Music Match Jukebox still has sound. The other media players don't work, I get nothing from internet videos, etc. I am running WinXP Home Edition on a Dell Dimension 4600 PC. I've never had this problem before. When I open up the Control Panel > Sounds and Audio Devices > Audio I see grayed out areas and the Sound Card is not present. Instead the dropdown list says: Modem 0 or something like that. What could have caused this to happen and how to fix it? thanks

When I click OK, the Control Panel opens. I don't have a wireless adapter on my PC which is what the Intel PROSet refers to.

Dear members, Since three days ago I started getting the following message: -- Hard Drive configuration recovery. This menu allows you to select a hardware profile. If your system is not starting correctly, then you may switch to a previous system configuration, which may overcome stat up problems. Important, system configuration changes made since the last successful start up will be discarded. Profile 2 Profile 1 To go on I just press enter and it goes on as usual, what caused this message to appear, although I did not change anything of the setting, how can get it back to start without this message appearing.? nasser

I am using Windows XP with SP2. I had installed a third party Software. When I uninstalled the software using Windows Add or Remove Program, uninstallation was partial. When I tried to remove the balance portion through Registry again I could remove only part of the software. When I tried to remove the last piece I got the message: "Cannot delete error while deleting key. When I tried to remove the sub keys I got the message "Unable to delete all specified values".

transferring files from infected drive.
by Guest Joseph O'Brien- 4 replies

Hello, everyone. I have a computer that has been infected with a virus/ worm/trojan/whatever. I'm not completely sure which one, but my computer does the automatic shutdown thing (initiated by NT Authority \System). I think I have the virus cleaned off, but the OS has been damaged. Can someone who knows advise me on the plan below? 1) Remove suspect drive from PC. Replace with a new, store-bought drive. 2) Install clean OS, updates programs, virus scan, etc. 3) Re-attach suspect drive as slave. 4) Copy necessary files over from suspect drive, leaving out Program Files and anything in ~\Local Settings. I do have backups, but they are most likely infected …

....yeah ...yeah ...yeah, ....I've waded through aumha.org Shutdown problems, and Google'd and read..half the day, tweaked bios settings and rebooted, it feels, a THOUSAND times, (it must add up to at LEAST half a day), and I've stuffed in and ripped out EVERY SINGLE lump of driver forceware that NVIDIA ever produced !! ...so pleeeeeeeeeeez, I am simply posting in the hope that someone has hit a VERY similar problem on VERY similar hardware, ....I'm getting a bit too old to spend more than most of a whole day problem solving this s*****g thing ! :-) What makes it really annoying, of course, is that I can easily live without "hibernate" but, that would be …

Print Spooler hangs the system
by Guest Bill Melke- 2 replies
- 215 views
I was trying to upgrade Internet Explorer when the system froze. Since then, every time I started the computer, it would hang. I found the guilty process to be the spool server using 99% of the CPU. If I stop the print spooler the problem goes away. I looked at spoolsv.exe and it has not been modified since Friday, June 10, 2005. Any suggestions? THANKS -- Bill

% Used Hard Drive Space VS. Computer Speed
by Guest Justin- 9 replies
- 306 views
Does the bigger percentage of hard drive space used mean the slower the speed of your computer? I have 2 internal hard drives in my laptop and I am deciding whether I should install programs such as games on the hard drive which does not contain windows xp so that the program does not slow my computer (login speed, etc.)
