Ok, I am lost. I am fairly good with computers but I am stumped. My computer crashed recently-hard drive wiped out, paid a repair man to fix but even he couldn't fix my sound problem. I finally got it to work but it was really bad sound so I decided to upgrade my speakers, big mistake. Now I have NO sound. At first it was garbled and I tried some trouble shooting tips and now there is nothing. Can someone please link me to 1. Drivers i should have already on my computer - Windows XP 2. I also have Sound Blaster Live 24 - downloaded but help me make sure it's set as default. 3. Help me make sure all my programs under Sounds, games and video's and ot…

I have a virus. My desktop is white with "Active Desktop Recovery" which when I hit "Restore my Active Desktop" I get the message "an error occured in the script". Plus my start menu is gone. When I hit start, the right side is blank plus "programs" is gone. I ran Ad-Aware and AVG and this cleaned up a lot of the pop ups but with my desktop icons gone and unable to go through "programs", I am unable to access needed programs. Any help in getting me back to normal will be appreciated. I can see them on my Start menu anymore. PLus there is this Desktop pic of "Buy Privacy Protection Service now" with the Url Link with it. When i tried to right …

I restored my boot partition from a Ghost image, and when booting, the computer gets past the first XP screen, then hangs at the welcome screen. I see the mouse and the welcome screen, but no login choices. This is the first time I've tried this, and the restoration itself seemed to go smoothly. I was sure to check the box to set the partition active. BTW, this is a Gateway laptop w/ Turion, 1Gb ram, 120gb HD with XP Media Center. I'm trying to avoid doing a full reinstall. That's why I made the ghost image. In case I need to, though, I no longer have the disks that came with the computer, but the XP sticker is still on the bottom. Will that seri…

When i boot the system up, it boots up fine, I have it set to log in not requiring a password. Well it stops at that screen and asks me to click on the profile to load. There are no profiles to click on. I can not tab to any other profiles or do anything other then to turn off the system. What can i do to get past that screen?

In Linux, there is a "logwatch" file that gets emailed daily to the root admin. This file is a an overview of the system status. Is there an equivelent to this logatch in Windows 2008 server?

I had a simple 2 computer network at home, both with Windows XP, 32-bit. They were networked through the router and the printer was shared. The printer is a Canon MP530 that does not have an Ethernet jack, just a USB hookup. All worked well, with both computers being able to access the one printer. Now I replaced the main computer with a 64-bit Vista machine. I downloaded a 64-bit driver file for the printer and all is working with the printer and the main computer. The 2 computers are still networked and both have internet access as before. However, the second (XP) computer has no access to the printer. How can I get the printer to work with the se…

I have a Dell Vostro 1500 notebook with Vista Home Premium on it. Currenty I am running Roxio Ver.9. The audio capture only detects the on board mic (has a mic/cam combo on the lid). XP is different. I had it loaded on the notebook at one time and it would capture different audio instead of just the mic. Does anyone know if Roxio Ver.10 has fixed this? Or is this unique to Vista? Thanks, Greg

Howdy, I'm running XP SP3 on a Dell Latitude D610. If I open the "Help & Support Center" and click "User's Guide" nothing happens. I do have the HTML User's Guide on the system, but obviously, not in the proper location. Where should I put it to allow it to be seen by the "Help & Support Center" link? Many thanks, -- Kenneth If you email... Please remove the "SPAMLESS."

What is the full name of the Vista group closest in purpose to this one for XP? I can't find one on Google. (And if enter across all groups a search term related to your specific issue, all you get is porn sites???) Thanks.

I have not set up a terminal server in a while and need some help in the steps I need to take. 1. What do I have to do to make this box a terminal server box? Control Panel/Add Re…

Dear All I think IE7 was installed prior to SP3 and we have AVG Anti Virus running, Spybot and Windows firewall. I am reluctant to turn these off unless absolutely necessary as we are not sure what is causing this security patch to install. Thank you Barry
