• Audio service does not not after download of Creative, restarts, error 0 x 80070002, the system cannot find the file specified

  Yesterday, I downloaded and installed updated Creative to my its Soundblaster card from Windows Update.  It lead me to a large download of Creative for its console related sound and SW, and things worked fine.  When I restarted this morning, there was a horrible loud hum while Windows was loading, and I made a hard stop.  When I rebooted, the buzz was gone, but the icon in the status bar indicates that the sound was off.  The sound message indicates that the audio service is not running.  I tried to restart the computer several times, but the results were the same.  I tried to restart the audio service of the Task Manager, but got an error message 0 x 80070002, the system cannot find the file specified.  Where should I go from here?

  Hi Jfklinger,

  This problem occurs because some legacy applications use files or components that were developed prior to Windows Vista. The names of these audio components may be different in Windows Vista. If the calling application uses the hard-coded file names, the new files and components could not be found.

  To resolve this problem, use one of the following methods to change the audio settings for a device.

  Method 1: use the order Volume of Windows

  To use the Volume of Windows command to change the audio settings for a device, follow these steps:

  1.right - click on the speaker icon in the notification area, and then click devices recording or reading.
  2. double-click - click the device for which you want to set the parameters. For example, double-click on Microphone.
  3. click on the levels tab.
  4. move the cursor upwards or downwards to set the desired volume level, and then click OK.

  Method 2: use Control Panel

  For control panel allows you to change the audio settings for a device, follow these steps:

  1. click on Start, click Control Panel, click hardware and soundand then click sound.
  2. click on the tab playback or recording .
  3. double click the device for which you want to set the parameters. For example, double-click on Microphone.
  4. click on the levels tab.
  5. move the cursor upwards or downwards to set the desired volume level, and then click OK.

  You may receive an error message when you run an application that uses the recording feature or audio playback in Windows Vista

• Satellite T110-11U - cannot find the router WLAN

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite T110-11U. Have had since February and loved it-fortunately it wireless used throughout the House. Then one day on a month, unless I was in the same room that the wireless router, Wireless does not work. I have 2 other laptops (and iPhone) which still connect wirelessly throughout the House and the garden without problem.
  As you can imagine, it was very strange. When I take in the garden, my other laptops are all networks wireless in the region, but my Toshiba can't find any.

  Suspecting it was a driver problem, I made sure that the wireless drivers are up-to-date. With no joy, I got the system as it was at the time of purchase (do a complete restoration by interupting, starting and leaving the hard drive to be deleted and reinstalled etc.). Still the same problem. I even changed the rooms in which the router is, and the same problem - the Toshiba cannot find the router unless the router is located a few meters from the laptop.

  Until I lose the will to live, can anyone suggest the cause of my problems, or is it time I admitted defeat and brought back to the Comet under warranty (where likely test next to a wireless router and tell me everything is fine!).

  Thank you very much

  Steve.

  Hey Buddy,

  Did you check if the wireless network card is recognized correctly in the Device Manager? There may be a yellow exclamation or unknown device. Try also updating the driver WLAN from Toshiba Web site:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/WLAN/

  See all other WLAN routers?
  The wireless network card can be activated using a combination of keys FN + F8 and in the BIOS. In the BIOS, you should also load default settings and test again.

  Scroll down to "Windows Audio"

  The Windows Audio service must be started and its "Startup type" should be "automatic".  If it is not started, double-click the entry and click on the Start button.  If it is unable to start the service or instead generates an error message, the file for the Audio Service may have become corrupt or deleted (although this file has to be protected by Windows File Protection).

  Search for your system (probably C :) drive
          
  audiosrv. DL (it's only one L)

  Make sure to look in the "system folders" "hidden files and folders," and "subfolders.

  You should find the audiosrv.dll (with two Ls) in C:\Windows\system32.

  If she is not there, it should be in C:\Windows\ServicePackFiles\i386

IAM able to see the bluetooth controller in Device Manager with! Select this option. When I update its driver or try to install the drivers it says system cannot find the specified file. also I tried installation correct latest drivers of my laptop from the HP site is no help. Thank you

  

  Thank you.

  Do not use the sp59632 or sp61795. They all have two software driver for Windows XP and Win7. Maybe that's why you got the error message. I extracted the softpaqs and took a look to see what was inside.

  

  It is for the wrong operating system

  

  It is also for the wrong OS

  

  sp58515 should work.

  

  Since your laptop came with Windows 8, why not use the Recovery Manager to reinstall the driver?

  I recommend this as the best method to use. It is a one stop shop and denies the need to search for drivers online. Your recovery manager will be the drivers for hardware that is installed in your laptop.

  Invoke the charm to search for and type Recovery Manager. Click the Recovery Manager. You should see a window similar to the following image. Now, click on drivers and reinstall the Applications.

  1 right click on the file, then select Properties
  2. click on the Security tab
  3. click on change, in the name box, type "Everyone".
  4. in the boxes next to the permissions below, put 'Total control' for everyone
  5. click OK, and then close the dialog boxes
  6. try to copy the file that you just modified.

  If the works above, you must change the permissions on all the files you want to copy.  Normally, you can just highlight all the and follow the steps above to change the permissions on all files at the same time.

  Hello

  1. have you done any software or hardware changes on your computer before this problem?
  2. have you checked with another DVD drive?
  3. using the Windows backup feature to backup?
  4 do you have third-party backup programs installed on your computer?
   
  To work on the issue, refer to these methods.
   
  Method 1:
   
  Step 1:
   
  If it's a DVD I suggest trying to backup to an external hard drive and check to see if you get any errors.
  
  Step 2:
   
  Temporarily disable the antivirus software and check if you are able to perform the backup.

  Caution:
  Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
