    ========

    It's probably the pilots who are responsible and who may not really be later or they need to be
    re-installed anyway. The best way is to manually review using the methods below.

    References to Vista also apply to Windows 7.

    Control Panel - device - SOUNDS - look for HD Audio Manager - Mine said RealTek High
    Audio definition (this is an example and you can have an other name/maker).

    Write the description and the model double click on it - tab drivers - write down
    Version. Now click on update drivers who cannot do anything as MS is far behind certifying
    drivers. Then CLICK RIGHT on it and UNINSTALL - REBOOT - this will rebuild the driver
    stack.

    You can have the default windows or a former certified pilot and it's all or part of the
    issue.

    Now, go to the site of the manufacturer of the system and get the latest Audio/Sound drivers - download - SAVE - go to
    where you put - right-click on Reboot - RUN AS ADMIN-

    Check the Version tab of the driver in the Device Manager as the restoration of the sound card drivers often
    and then install the latest version. Restart and check after each test, not
    rare to have to run the pilot of 1 to 4 times or more. Just the version make sure you
    installed shows upward on the tab of the driver.

    Go to the site of the manufacturer of the device, and then search for the even more recent drivers and install repeat
    operating mode. Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - click on - RUN AS
    ADMIN - Reboot

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    Installation and update of drivers to 7 (updated drivers manually using the methods above is)
    to ensure that the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system and device manufacturers are are preferably)
    http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

    ---------------------------------------------------------

    After the updated driver.

    Click with the right button on the speaker near clock - recorders - right click in the box - check see the
    Disconnected devices and show disabled devices - check your micro - highlight
    then on lower right properties. Make sure that the appropriate injector is selected and check
    other parameters - levels tab make sure that MUTE is disabled and APPLY / OK to change
    .

    Also in the search for some Audio Manager Panel (perhaps named after the manufacturer of the sound driver). Mine
    is the RealTek Audio Manager, yours can be quite different name if you have one.

  • I installed Vista in a Virtualbox VM and the product key does not work, how to fix this? I use the same product key supplied with the computer originally.

    I bought a Dell Precision T3400 of Dell Financial Services and it came with Vista Business installed.  I installed a new hard drive and installed Vista in a Virtualbox VM by using the recovery disk that came with the computer, and the product key does not work for activation.  I get a message that says I need to activate Windows, but he says that the product key is not valid.  How can I fix it?

    Thank you

    If you have reinstalled the OEM of Vista Business copy on the new hard drive, as Bill says you can't also use it in a virtual machine.

    You can only reuse your OEM of Vista professional copy if it is no longer used on the computer. Do you have what operating system installed on the new hard drive? It was an upgrade copy or complete the license?

    If you used a license to upgrade to another edition of Windows to replace your copy of company then Vista Business license is still in use (for upgrade) and you cannot reuse it in your virtual machine.

    However if you replaced Vista business with a copy of the full license of another edition then you are able to use the OEM copy in a virtual machine, but only on the same computer. You must use the product key from COA to the label on the computer. The product key is put in the copy OEM cannot find the SLIC table on the host motherboard. You must use the phone activation from within the virtual machine. Click on start in Vista Business and typing "slui 4. Do not meet the audio guests until it asks you if you want to speak to an agent. Explain that you have completely replaced the OEM copy with a copy of the full license of the new windows and now want to use the OEM copy in a virtual machine on the same computer. Agent will then give you the activation string. Remember that the virtual machine is not transferable to any other computer.

  • Update of Windows XP does not work, how do I stop the Office 07/10 updates?

    For these last months, the web version of Windows Update does not work with XP. When you click on the button for Express or custom installation, the stalls of system looking for updates. So I had to put windows to warn me of updates instead of going on the site, but now it keeps wanting to download me updates for Office 2007 and 2010, but I do not own these products (I use Office 2003).  I could not stop, even when I ticked the box does not warn me of those more. Finally I went to the site and found an option to disable Microsoft Update, which said I could always download the updates to the site, but I can't because he's trying to force me to re - download Microsoft Update.

    What is going on?  I don't like the new Microsoft Update as it keeps nagging me to download updates for the products that I have not yet owned. How can I update Windows XP only?  This is very fustrating.

    Hi Steve,.

    Follow these steps.

    Go to Start | Settings | Control Panel and double click on automatic updates. I'll explain why later.

    Then, tick the option at the bottom to turn off automatic updates, and then click apply/OK.

    Then, go to start, run, copy and paste this command and click OK: services.msc

    In the list of Services, you can see Background Intelligent Transfer Service ?

    Here's a pix what he looks like.

    If it is not listed, follow these steps to register the BITS service.

    Open the Windows search tool, copy / paste the following text, and then click Search: qmgr.dll

    Research should show this file in the following locations:

    C:\Windows\System32
    C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\bits

    You might only see qmgr.dll in C:\WINDOWS\system32 depending on your configuration.

    Then, go to start, run and copy/paste: regsvr32 qmgr.dll and click OK

    Do the same with this file: regsvr32 qmgrprxy.dll

    Reboot the system and then copy / paste this command into the field run:
    %windir%\System32\rundll32.exe setupapi, InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 %windir%\inf\qmgr.inf

    If you are prompted to insert the Windows installation CD, ignore this and in the dialog below, replace the path C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386

    If you could only see the file in C:\WINDOWS\system32, change the path to that instead.

    Restart the PC and then go to the Services and you should be able to see BITS in the list.

    Double click on it and then on the general tab, click the Start button to start the service manually. This is just a test to make sure that it works correctly.

    If you get 2 error: cannot find the specified file, click on start, then run again and copy / paste the following command, and then click OK:
    Tracking Add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\BITS\Parameters /v ServiceDll /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /d %windir%\System32\qmgr.dll

    Reboot again and try once more to start the PIECES. It should work fine now, but in the unlikely case where it fails again, run the following command, and then press ENTER:
    Reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\BackupRestore\FilesNotToBackup

    Reboot once more and then do the following.

    Finally, go to the Windows Update site and you should be able to download normally.

    If this is the case, re - enable automatic updates in Control Panel.

So I tried several ways to solve this problem, and I keep running into roadblocks of Windows. Help, please.

    Hi my NameJoel,

    See the methods mentioned below and check if that helps.
     
    Method 1:
    How to troubleshoot an installation fails on Windows XP Service Pack 3
    Note: 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.
     
    Note: A firewall is software or hardware that checks information coming from the Internet or a network. Then the firewalleither blocks information or allows information to pass to your computer. If the information is blocked or throughdepends spent on your firewall settings. A firewall can prevent malicious software (such as worms) to access your computer through a network or the Internet. A firewall can also help stop your computer from malware sent to other computers. Windows XP, Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) and Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3) include firewall software.

    Steps to take before you install Windows XP Service Pack 3
    Note: Disable your antivirus software is not usually recommended, some software antivirus prevents certain system changing files. This can cause the Windows XP SP3 installation failure. To make sure that you manage to install Windows XP SP3, temporarily disable your antivirus software, including any third-party antispyware and firewall program. To do this, right-click on the icon for your antivirus program, and then click on disable. The antivirus program icon typically appears in the bottom right corner of the computer screen.
     
    Important: Make sure that you enable the antivirus software after you install Windows XP SP3.
     
    Hope this information helps.
