I had sound and now I don't have - can someone please help!

My laptop has plays music - YouTube videos and CD - perfectly. I installed iTunes and now no sound works for any device! My CD will not play (every song has a red x next to it) and I have no idea why! I uninstalled all the Apple stuff, just in case that was the problem. Rebooted the laptop but it has not made a difference. I did a convenience store but it didn't come back on the absence of sound. I use a Dell with Windows Vista basic and Intel Core 13. I do not have any other information that the laptop computer is the property of my employer. Any ideas? It worked perfectly an hour ago!

Hi, A5453771,

Right click on your sound icon in the right area of the taskbar.  Select open.

Verity Mute is not checked.

Try to uninstall and reinstall the sound card and check for the issue.

1. click on Start and type invmgmt.mscand thenEnter. The Device Manager window opens.

Do you see yellow question mark or exclamation points?

2. develop sound, video and game controllers.

3. right click on the sound card, and then select Uninstall.

4 restart the computer and Windows should now detect the sound card and install the audio drivers.

No sound in Windows

    Bruce,

    Do you remember if you wanted to do a new installation or had you partitioned your hard drive to install it in a dual boot with Vista?

    If you do not have a BONE now it sounds lik evous was the first choice that clears your current installation.

    You need to reinstall Vista from your original media to recover your system if this is the case.

    Unfortunately, if this is what you choose, you have lost all the data that was on your hard drive as well.

    Sorry to be the bearer of bad new possible.

  • I think that my system of basic windows files have been changed and currupted can someone please help!

    I get major errors that led me to think my windows files have been modified and currupted I just can't install microsoft updates they download, but I'm unable to install, I'm unable to use the Disk Defragmenter and disk scan as it said my system is already in use. I am also unable to use my acer factory restore settings because it loads but never finishes running can someone please help! I am not in a position to buy or pay for a new cd of windows so that I can make a new clean instalation as I can't afford it can someone please help!

    Download of updates of work but the installation of updates arnt working
    installation of games arnt working cd - I get errors
    disk defragment simply does not work I click top but nothing happnens - perhaps sumthing to do with priviliages admin, but I am the administrator.
    Scan disk does not work as it says system is already used but works if I put it to run at reboot
    MY acer DEFAULT factory restore setting does not work it loads but never short - that led me to believe I have no control over my privliages of basic windows system, but I am the adminsitror.

    I already had major problems when WIndows would break and stops working when you start up, I managed to solve this problem in safe mode and disabling some start up programs to check the malware was eventually attached to my system using windows scanner and malwarebytes defnder, I managed, but it seems that it is undetectable.

    I am unable to afford a new cd for a new clean instalation of windows, I think I need. can someone please

    Hello

    There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

    You can contact Acer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    http://us-store.Acer.com/RCD/

    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    It comes to the use of the partition Recovery of Acer to restore factory settings.

    http://Acer.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/A_ID/2631

    Note: During the process, all data stored on your computer will be overwritten. This means that all of your files, such as e-mail and photos, will be deleted. Therefore, we recommend making a backup of all data before starting the recovery process.

    To start the system recovery:

    1. Restart the computer.
    2. When the Acer logo appears on the screen, press the left Alt and F10 keys.
    3. If you are prompted with a Microsoft Windows splash screen, press the Enter key.
    4. After that the Acer eRecovery Management application is loaded, select your type of restore.
    5. Read the review and then click Next when you are ready.
    6. Click Next to start the restore process. It may take 10 minutes up to an hour fom anywhere to restore.
    7. Once the restore is complete, your computer will restart. After the reboot it will load Windows and start the installation of your software and drivers. Your computer will restart several times during this process. Once they are all completed, your computer will be like it was when you bought it first.

    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens or the recovery Partition is damaged, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

    "How to activate Vista normally and by Activation of the phone '

  • My computer updated to 24 of Firefox, and now I don't have a scroll bar. How can I find it again?

    Last night my computer upgraded to version 24 of Firefox, and now there is no scroll bar to navigate up and down pages. Please can you help me?

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most of the modules.

    (If you use it, switch to the default theme).

    • You can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.

    Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot mode safe. "

    If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. To do this, please follow article Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems .

  • I got Lightroom 2 and now I don't have - what are my options?

    I bought Lightroom 2 in 2009 for my desktop computer. At the time when the computer is running Windows Vista.  We have finally upgraded to Windows 7 this week.  The guy who installed for us is a "clean" installation, which means that he wiped the hard drive and restored the files after the new system was in place.  I was informed that I could re - install programs - like Lightroom - who was previously on the computer if I kept my serial number. But now that I went to the Adobe site I can't seem to download Lightroom, even though I have serial numbers.  I fear that it is because I bought the program nearly 5 years ago and somehow my license ended.

    Can anyone help?  I would rather not come part of the money for a new version of Lightroom.  But even if I do, can someone tell me if the program "recognize" the photos that were organized in my old library of LIghtroom and integrate them into the new Lightroom?

    I'm working on a computer, but not very savvy so forgive me if I'm missing the obvious clues.

    Thank you

  • I've always had the word on my computer and now I don't have. I have xp

    I lost all my tax very important and financial information what can I do?

    I don't understand what, if anything, is missing.
    Is the word missing (one of the Microsoft Office components)? Your document files are missing (usually with the extension doc or docx files)?
    If the word is missing, try to navigate in the Panel and watch ads in Add/Remove programs. If the office is there, try to click on it and reinstall Word. If anything, and if you have the installation disk, run the installation of the drive to restore Word.
    If your documents are missing, try looking in the Recycle Bin. Default and if you have no backups, obtain an undelete program (search Bing or Google - there are those who are free) and use it to see if there is any recoverable on the hard drive.

  • Firefox crashed and now I don't have one of my favorites. How can I restore them? Thank you!

    My computer locked up and I had to remove the battery to restart. Update of Firefox, and when he came online, none of my favorites are there. When I went in hidden files, was there either. Is in any way to restore my bookmarks? And how do I save my favorites in a file that I can restore in case this happens again.

    I'm on Windows 8 on a laptop Dell Inspiron.

    Thank you!

    OK, thanks for your answers. You will think I'm a total jerk, but I'm not as tech savvy as you all. It turns out that update of Mozilla, it lack the toolbar to hidden. If the data was all there, just hidden. (very embarrassed that I didn't have to look for something like that). All I had to do was "Show toolbar". Maybe this can help someone else. But now I'm sure I have back ups.
