After reformat Windows XP, I lost sound and shows no sound card or drivers on computor.

Windows XP SP3 motherboard - ASUSTEC Computor Inc., model #Amberine M, On41411-version RE101Ambem000

Whenever you do a clean install of Windows XP, which is what I assume you mean "reformat Windows XP" - you must install the drivers for your hardware.  In General, this would include drivers for at least the motherboard (chipset), the video card (if it is not built into the motherboard), the audio adapter (if not built into the motherboard), NIC (if not built into the motherboard) and external devices.

For XP, don't get the drivers from Windows Update.  Find them in the site of the mfr of the computer (for computers brand) or concerned equipment manufacturers Web site.  OEMs like HP, Dell, Lenovo and similar often have specific to their hardware drivers, so check with the computer manufacturer before going to other sites.

  • Issue of license with Windows XP, a lost key and lost disk.

    I work in a church in trying to ensure that all of our licenses are legal. A few years back our Windows XP Professional and our key to Windows XP install disk have disappeared. People at that time here downloaded a copy of the internet and used a key found on the internet. Not a key that we purchased. There is always an invoice for this computer. He wasn't able to pass Windows Genuine tests. My question is, is it legal to install like this. After all, we had a license appropriate at a given time. What problems of license failed us by doing this?

    Assuming that the company that made this PC for the Church still exists and keep good records, and did not use a version without Windows license in the first place (you say you had "a good license" at the same time), you can contact the company for the correct XP Pro installation media and the right corresponding to the product key.

    If this isn't the case, you will need to purchase a legitimate copy of Windows XP Pro, which can be difficult or expensive since it is no longer available for sale through traditional channels.

    If the PC is not old and is able to run Windows 7, it is an option, too.

    This problem may occur because of file system corrupted or because of the conflict between certain third-party applications.

    Hi Jim,.

    I suggest to try to start the computer in safe mode and see if you can boot to the desktop in safe mode. To boot to the desktop in safe mode keep tapping key F8 during restart. Once you see the option to start in safe mode select and press to enter.

    Access the link to learn more about how to start the computer in safe mode:

    If you can start the computer in safe mode, you can try performance a system restore to the point before the update have been installed and check if it helps.

    To restore the operating system to an earlier point in time, follow these steps:

    A. Click Start, type system restore in the search box and then in the list click on the system restore program.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

    B. in the System Restore dialog box, click on choose a different restore point and then click Next.

    C. in the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next.

    D. click Finish.

    The computer restarts and system files and settings are back to the State they were in when the restore point was created.

    Access the link below to see the system restore:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/what-is-system-restore

    You can also try to set the BIOS default settings on the computer and try to change the boot sequence to boot from the CD / DVD and try to reinstall Windows Vista by formatting the hard drive.

    NOTE: Changing the BIOS / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from configuration can resolved BIOS/CMOS settings. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  • After update on Windpws 8.1, applications and desktop windows files are gone

    After using windows 8 for some time and just become familiar with my lap top has started promoting update me windows 8.1 I did. He got to halfway through the update failed.  A pop up message that my computer will reboot when it has finally done I had to create a new user as egone account all the tverything that was on my computer is now disappeared from windows desktop is Islands and apps are word disappeared from windows of the program excel outlook ECt are all deleted.  I first tried to contact microsoft last night 9/12 14 after a long time on hold I got to a telephone switchboard finally after an hour to be spent on I got to a person called Sheena p who accessed my computer remotely to fix the problem after that several attempts to try to untangle the issues it has had problems as it were quite well refused to listen to what I explained.

    He decides so after hour or more that this too is a problem for him and I need help of level 2 and it would organize a call back for today 10/12/14.  Soon after the end of the call, I received another call from microsoft, explaining that the Office of the United Kingdom farm at 7 and I would like to be contacted at 18:00.  After leaving work earlier to be home to this call and in the meantime and until it became obvious that no one was going to get in touch.

    So I contacted once again microsoft got passed from one person to another, so that all operators attempted to pass the problem on to another Department, eventually after about 45 minutes, it is call that I am someone in the phillapines that even once, pretty much couldn't or wouldn't understand the problem told me it could not be anything else other than a virus no matter how much times I explained the problem that she seemed unable to depart from it on the screen guests as she just constantly repeated the same vein times she said microsoft is paying and that she would not do anything until I paid $ 99, I think that it is and violates since I had already spent enough money buy microsoft software that has now been removed and a microsoft program.  Then she just transferred back me to the very first options menu so I wasn't on hold or in any that just left to start all over again. I finished the call to seek an alternative.

    can someone sign affect me? I have a laptop restored to factory settings, no files, folders, pictures or software because I have updated windows 8 from their guest.

    Thanks in advance

    Mark

    It would be impossible for the .old and the user folder to disappear, unless someone went to PC settings and clicked on the "Reset PC" option.  Other than that, the only way for those missing is to be booted from a CD or USB and do a new installation instead of the update to the App Store.

    Regardless of how, however, at this stage there is no much I can suggest.  Install your favourite again and get your files from OneDrive or backup everything you use.
