error code 80040256.
After doing a complete reinstall of windows XP on my Dell dimension 4600 everything was OK apart from having the above error code. I don't know what sound card is installed so that a driver can be found. It would be just as easy to put another card.

Download and install the device drivers for some audi device / sound (hardware) is installed on your computer.
Not knowing what brand specific & model computer and/or what brand specific & model device audio, high fidelity, you have, at this stage I can't better direct you to exactly what you need - but you should be able to review the specifications of your computer on the web site of builders/drivers/support download and get what you need.

I just got my dv6t 7000 quad edition with blu - ray player, but when I tried to play the blu - ray with power dvd supplied with the system, it shows

Internal error
Is this a problem with the hardware or software? If the problem is with software, how to fix?
Hello
Yes it is a software problem. You can try to reinstall the drivers and Support HP Power DVD:
CyberLink PowerDVD 10 (2D/3D) ►
If this does not work, make sure that you have run all the updates from HP to HP Support Assistant and also all the windows updates. HP updates using updates from HP Support assistant should operate.
If none of these works then try this:

Above is codes I got sudeenly. No sound. Stopped in middle of session. Couldn't come back. Says no audio installed.
Hello
1. have you made changes on the computer before this problem?
2 are you getting this error code during playback of Windows Media Player?
3. are you this error during playback of a file in particular?
4. are you able to hear the sound?
I suggest you try the following and see if it helps.
1. Quit other programs that may be using your sound device, and then try to play the file again.
2 install an updated driver. To see if an updated driver is available, use Windows Update, go to the website of the manufacturer of your audio device.
3. If you have multiple audio devices installed on your computer, try to use another. The selected audio device might not support Secure Audio Path (SAP).
To use another audio device
a. click organize, and then click Options.
b. click the devices tab, double-click speakers.
c. Select the audio device, click on a different device, and then click OK.
4. make sure that the audio device does not work correctly. To troubleshoot device problems, see Windows Help and Support or refer to the documentation of your audio device.
5. make sure that you have a sound device installed on your computer. If not, install a sound device (for example, a sound card) and then try to play the file again. If you are unable to install a sound device in your computer, you may be able to solve the problem by attaching USB headset or USB speakers to your computer instead.

which would indicate a bad sensor on one of your memory modules or riser:
In the case of an error in probe (4SNS), to determine what type of sensor is referenced, look for his first letter, which should be 'I' for the current "V" or "T" for temperature, voltage.
Then check the second letter from the list below to see which component it refers to:
A: ambient air sensor
B: battery
C: Central processors (CPU)
D: DC (direct current)
e: PCI-express slot
F: FireWire port
G: graphics processor (GPU)
H: drive
h: heat pipe (heat sink)
L: liquid crystal display
M: memory or the memory riser cardsI would first install a monitoring app like Mac Fan Control of temperature

to see of you can find a bad sensor by reading the memory riser card.

4SNS/1/40000000 error code: VDOR - 18.678 &; 18.679
MBP early 2011: I just ran the AHT twice, the first round gave me an error code of 4SNS/1/40000000: VDOR - 18.678, second inning gave the code 4SNS/1/40000000: VDOR - 18.679. Does anyone know what are these error codes? My best guess is probably the RAM, I have (2) modules of 8 GB 1600 Mhz DDR3 OR wireless networking equipment installed. I've noticed recently while multitasking, the wifi connection seems to cling and web pages will not load/downloads will pick up. But the way in which applications will be blocked for 60 seconds makes me think of a bad situation of RAM I have had in the past. Any help would be greatly appreciated since the nearest bar genius lies in 2 1/2 hour. Thank you!
No RAM - 4SNS is a sensor error.

Have used the SD Transcend 360 256 MB card for data storage with success during the last 6 months on my MBP to mid-2014. Installed their wake from sleep early support software.
Above error code invite you in this context: I wake up Mac in the morning after sleep. Transcend icon "wake up" and appear on the desktop (as it should). I check disk utility and the card is recognized. HOWEVER, about 1/3 of those mornings, despite appearing and functional map icon (folder open when I click on it), when I try to write/copy a file or folder to it, I get the above error code? For about a week I missed that everything seemed normal. My current 'fix' is to eject the card (requires a 'forced ejection"which I'm concerned could damage the card?), but the card ejects without delay. 90% of the time when I remove and reinsert the card, the operating system recognizes, all right. (There are a dozen times when I had to reboot for it to be recognized.)
All the others did this experiment with the Transcend (I submitted a request for tech support to them with a persistent response of 'Question Mac'... (LOL). This error has been noted several times on the Forum discussion, but in the context of external drives and with no apparent solution. FYI, I use the Transcend (in addition to external systems) b/c it works essentially like a hard drive internal and I use it mainly for Google Drive perfectly... except for the above inconveniences. Thanks in advance!

Error code: sec_error_ocsp_unauthorized_request
I'm NOT going to be nice. Here's the description - I disabled the option "question responder OCSP servers to confirm the current validity of certificates. Has no effect. Still, I get this error:
An error occurred during a connection to * removed * .com. The OCSP server refused this request as unauthorized. (Error code: sec_error_ocsp_unauthorized_request)

You... don't even leave the website to load. Try again. Try again. Try again. Try again. Try again. Try again. The certificate of the site is very well as evidenced by SIX different sites of the verification of the SSL certificate. I can't add an exception because FF is unable to obtain the certificate.
I tried to clear all - cache, cookies, history, blah blah blah
I am so bored of you people cost me more time.
It's fine in IE and Chrome.
If I didn't need Firebug, I would switch to Chrome right now.
edited because of the language according to the rules-forum-guidelines
You're right, it is not sensible.
Never made an exception for the site.
FINALLY, what worked was rename the cert8.db file in the profile folder so FF could generate a new. Then FF grabbed the cert very well.
Thank you for the help, sorry for the earlier rant.

MS Security essentials is coming with "your pc could not be analyzed" error code 0x800703eb. This occurs the day after the installation of Firefox 41 with no other facilities important program or activity for some time. We had no other software security for several years, which doesn't seem like a cause as possible. Any ideas or suggestions? Others noticed and reported similar problems?
Thanks for any help

So far, 41 Firefox installation is clean. Because your question is related to Microsoft here certain Threads are related to your problem. At the same time you can contact Microsoft Support
