I have no sound
After a clean install of the operating system, you must then install the drivers for all your hardware.
Never get the drivers from Windows Update. Bring:
1. site of the device mftr. ; OR
2. site of the card mother mftr. If the material is on board; OR
3. website of the OEM manufacturer for your specific machine if you have a PC OEM (HP, Dell, Sony, etc.).Read the installation instructions on the Web site where you get the drivers.
To find out what hardware is in your computer:
1. read all documentation that you got when you purchased the computer.
2. If the computer is OEM, access the site Web of the OEM for your specific model machine and look at the specs (you'll be there to get the drivers anyway)
3. download, install and run a program of inventory of the free system like Belarc Advisor or System Information for Windows.http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html - Belarc Advisor

When I try to install firefox 6 my computer tells me that I have no authority
I'm on OSX 10.5.8 when I slip the new version for the spot application it says that I don't have enough privileges for some of the items.
If you have problems with the update or the permissions then more simple is to download the full version and trash the version currently installed to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the file on the desktop DMG
- Firefox 6.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
- Trash the present application Firefox to do a clean (re-) install
- Install the new version you downloaded
Your profile data is stored in the Firefox profile folder, so you will not lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

If something is damaged? How can I resolve this - pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
Looks like you may have a virus or other malware. Get your updated antivirus program and start safe mode. Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan mode without failure. To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode. Then run a complete system scan.

If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem. To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore. Click on the box that says show more restore points.
You can check the corrupted system files. Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type sfc in the search box, right-click to SFC. EXE, then click on run as administrator. Then from the command prompt, type sfc/scannow.
Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log. To make, click Start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools. Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.
I hope this helps. Good luck. -

After carefully installing Windows 7, Windows update tells me that I must install a critical update for the graphics card to Nvidia 9600 m GS on my Touchsmart, but every time I start the process, the download fails with the error code 80070005. I tried several times a day for a week now. Media Center won't play any TV, saying that the correct graphics drivers are not installed. I tried to install the drivers from the Nvidia site, but nothing helped.

product activation key
This product key for Vista Ultimate is for 2 users; the computer tells me that it is already in use, and it is the second computer. Then I don't understand what the problem is.There is no such thing as a ' 2 License User"for Windows.
It * may * be for 2 processors. These 2 processors MUST be on the same physical motherboard.
You use WIndows out-of-contract of license and will have to purchase a new license to the second machine.
