iTunes download screwed up my computer
by Guest dubiousraves- 3 replies
- 312 views
Hi. I just downloaded the latest version of iTunes, and it's wrecked my CD/DVD functionality. (This happened to me once before, too, but I assumed it was a broken optical drive, so I installed a new one.) The only thing that works now is playing songs in the iTunes library. If I try to play a CD or DVD, there's a ticking sound, and distortion. This is true even if I used a different player from iTunes. If I try to upload a CD into iTunes, iTunes does it, but at about 1/15th the normal speed, and all other computer functions are slowed down drastically while the upload is occurring. Any ideas on fixing this? Thanks, Dave

XP Turn off / restart
by Guest Lil' Dave- 2 replies

Not a big deal, but I thought I would ask... Using Trend AV payfor version 2007. All up to date. When I use the turn off option, and turn off the computer, all is normal. When I use the restart option, 2 subsequent instances of tavsvc.exe errors occur and point at memory locations during the closing process. I have the option of either to "end now" or "cancel" for both errors. If I choose "end now" for both, PC restarts normally. If I choose to do nothing, about 5 seconds later, all closes, and the PC restarts normally. If I choose "cancel", it still closes and restarts normally. However, I've noticed that some windows updates initiate a restart. W…

Nothing Happens

I got my computer back about a week ago with a new hard drive since the old one was failing. I planned on installing a game but when I put the cd in, some lights would flicker, and then nothing happens. I tried in the CD and DVD ROM, disabled McAfee On-Access Scan, and tried to run it but I can't because my backslash key does not work. When I push it, I get a W with a line going through it horizontally, instead. On my old harddrive(with less memory), the game installed just fine. (Old harddrive/ware? had 200, new one has 250) I know playing a game isn't the most important thing in my life, but my sister paid $238 for the new harddrive so I want it to …

Hi I've got a Dell desktop that I want to reinstall Windows XP Home on (I'm on SP3 at the moment). I have no idea where my reinstall disc is. What I do have is the OEM code that's on Control Panel/System. I also have the stick which tells me the product key. These two codes are different - which I didn't expect. Can I just buy a cheap Windows XP Home disc off Ebay and then use my own codes?

Does the RPC attack affect Win 98? M$ Security Bulletin: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/Bulletin/MS08-067.mspx The Bulletin states: Customers who require custom support for older releases must contact their Microsoft account team representative, their Technical Account Manager, or the appropriate Microsoft partner representative for custom support options Does this mean M$ is still supporting 98 for people with custom contracts? The bulletin also states in the FAQs" What systems are primarily at risk from the vulnerability? While all workstations and servers are at risk regarding this issue, systems running Microsoft Windows…
