• My computer has no sound.

  I had her b4 the day, but not today.  I tried to stop, unplug the unit.  Still no sound.  I checked the speakers.  They are very good.  I turned the sound down with the button for her yesterday, tried to put it up today... can not.  Nothing happens when I press the button.  He tells me that I don't have an audio device when I go into the control panel. I tried to use that windows help, but nothing. I saw where there is some yellow excimations when I go into Device Manager.   Not sure yet how I'm going to go back to Device Manager.  I'm not that computer. I don't know what to do.  Help, please.  Thank you.

  Several things to do if it is an event suddenly:

  * Download and run Malbytes anti-malware

  * run your antivirus

  * go to your computer manufacturer's website and download them then install XP audio drivers for your machine.

  Hello

  Thanks for the reply Thahaseena. I think a lot of people have the same problem and it's partially the fault of Microsoft. It is the solution of the problem that works for most people if the heart of the problem is corrupt USB driver (s). The USB driver might get damaged due to defective USB device. This was my case. I bought the 16 GB Sandisk USB which has serious problems. It seems that it is real default, rather than fake. However, I am still investigating.

  This is what happens:

  -Start the copy of the file and at one point gets stuck. After all, you get that infamous error 0 x 80070079. If you try to shoot this defective USB before the error pops out, it's really dangerous abduction of USB that could cause corruption of the driver for the USB controller. This happened to me. So, after this point, none of the USB devices will be capable of the greatest copy files 1 GB +, because my USB drivers are now corrupt and and the transfer is slower. Fast devices and more small files work great, but if you have low speed USB 2.0 device it will not be able to complete the transfer of files at one time and you will receive the error.

  Solution:

  -Stop using the defective device to avoid a repetition of the problem (if you know who is defective). If you do not know, must be eliminated one by one.

  -Disconnect all USB cables except the keyboard cable (at least that is not based USB)

  -Use tabs and the arrows on the keyboard to get to Device Manager

  -Remove all usb drivers, including the one that is connected to the keyboard

  -You may need to force the closure - the dawn of the computer.

  -Do not turn on computer. Get on your knees and unplug the power cord. If you forget this step, the process of booth PC will load faulty driver again. (faulty or bad it depends on the scenario)

  -By unplugging the power cord and let it stay for at least 5 minutes, you force your PC to renegotiate the devices and drivers

  -Connect all USB cables

  -Check the usb status icon in the status bar. Sometimes, you may need to restart the computer if windows asks you to do. Restart the computer if you are not sure what I'm talking about.

  - and... Here we are. Bingo!

  Now, if you plug the faulty device once again, you will need to repeat the process. However, in my case I return to the seller or the manufacturer for repair. You can use this procedure to force the outcrop of USB drivers. That's why I say I blame partially Microsoft for that matter because there is no utility or command available to force this action automatically do that when the problem occurs. This could potentially help people with the question when a few USB ports stop working if its pilots involved.

  If it worked for you, please press useful Votes.

  Thank you.

  Vista and Windows 7 the love of the updated drivers that can drastically affect the performance so I would update the main
  drivers.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system. For
  each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver, description,.
  version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - Device Manager - Display Adapter - note the brand and complete model of your
  video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this
  cannot do anything as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
  This will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party with their
  own the software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restoration) and then of the manufacturer of the device
  (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for the BIOS, Chipset and software)
  updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - tab drivers version you install actually shows up. This
  because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a
  pilot - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW on device at the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER - manually check by model.

• I have 2 problems-how can I activate my Add ons and how to uninstall Windows Anti Virus. I need help, please.

  I have Windows XP 32-bit with IE8 Add ons.  I mainly use Firefox Mozilla for my browser and Yahoo as my home page.  Anyway, I have tried all the support and help guide and technicians told me to do to get add ons to open and activate but in vain.  This computer was given to me as a profession, and it was used in a Bank, so I think that the system administrator has disabled the add ons.  I myself as an administrator and use the tips and tricks given windows and Microsoft, but I always run up a wall.  I need help, please.
  I also need to know how to uninstall Windows antivirus software.  I can't find anywhere on my computer.  I feel really stupid and he is probably right in front of my face, but I can't find it to uninstall.  I have McAfee that I paid dearly for if I want to use it until it expires.

  This "Microsoft antivirus' witness (AKA Trojan W32/FakeAlert) hijackware infection!

  If you manage to somehow move to Win7, you will always have an infected computer.

  The ONLY way to solve the problem is by formatting the current hard drive and do a clean installation of Windows, whether it is WinXP or Win7.

  The ONLY way you can do a clean install of Windows XP if you have disks that came with the computer or if by chance, there is a hidden partition restore (not to be confused with the system restore).

  If your kids er - well & their spouses are going to spend money on a new HARD drive, they'be be better spend on a low-end Windows 7 computer and brand-new (for example, a netbook or a mini).

  NB: Any data on your Windows XP computer must be considered 100% reliable! (This includes all of your usernames and passwords, for example, those used for online banking, etc.) You do NOT want to put ALL the data from Windows XP to a new computer or HARD disk.

  Good luck, Grandma. Hope that your grandchildren will treat you better than their parents.

• Microphone has stopped working - HELP, please!

  Hello.

  My plug-in headset and regular lapel microphone suddenly stopped working.  It was working before and I know that my helmet or conventional microphone are not broken.

  I noticed this problem when I would go to a Voice Chat room and trying to talk into the microphone, the volume bar would move only a little bit and not much.

  I checked all my settings of volume and nothing is low in the volume bar of the Realtek High Definition Audio, or the DD Realtek Audio Manager.  Everything is fine and when I lifted up the microphone, he is selected by default and indicates that it works correctly, but the sound does not come through.

  I am running Windows Vista Home Premium, my helmet is called Dynex, my plug in microphones are called Plantronics and the other on my Logitech webcam.  Help, please.

  ~ Marynonimous

  P.S. I also went to my menu of BIOS and changed my setting audio on-board car Enabled to disabled, and then back to Enabled, and this still does not work.

  P.P.S. My speakers work fine.  I hear people speaking from the voice chat rooms and hear the sounds of my computer.  I hear them on my helmet and my speakers when I unplug my headphones, so my speakers are absolutely perfect.

  Well, I don't have the connected headset on the helmet correctly.  I fixed it.  Thank you.  I'm sorry.  Thank you.  God bless you all.  Love and prayers to Jesus.

• Windows 8 and first 11?  Help, please

  Hello

  I'm on windows 8 (64-bit) and PE11.  Today, I lost all my work, even though I had saved regularly and I have to redo the rendering very often.  Tonight because I'm redoing my work day, I lose sync and keep clips integers disappear.  It seems to be becoming more and more unstable.  I don't really know if I'm doing something wrong or, possibly, Windows 8 and 11 elements first are not the best fit.  I noticed a few other post mentioning window 8 problems even if they seem to be different from mine.

  The head of it at my company wants to remove windows 8 and install windows 7 on my computer (especially because of a VPN issue), but I fear that I will lose all my work.

  Can anyone suggest a way, or a number to call and tell me how I can save my work, get rid of windows 8 and then re-import my work in a Windows 7?  I fear only 2 weeks of my work is going up in smoke.

  PS I posted earlier, I am also having more frequent crashes.

  Help, please

  Thank you

  1. I would advise to do a full backup of the system before your machine for installation of the OS. I use Macrium Reflect product. There is a paid version I have, but there is also a free version.
  2. Note the path to your project's resources and the .prel file.
  3. Make sure that all the assets of the project (pictures, videos, sounds) and the project .prel file are saved on another disc or flash drive. Disable PRE11 on your computer before handing over the installation of W7.
  4. After the installation of W7 copy these assets of the project and the .prel file in the same folder on the hard drive of machines (2) above.
  5. Install PRE11 and activate it.
  6. Open the project file.

  See you soon,.

• New connection WIFI in Windows 8 is INCREDIBLY unstable. Help, please!

  My machine is a Samsung NP550P7C. I have 4-5 bars of signal when connecting to my wireless router. There are 3-4 laptops in the House who regularly use the same router without ever having an unstable connection, which gives a solid and undeniable performance. However, mine is 'nervous' at best, often late, sometimes completely cut, causing I have to reset the network adapter to retrieve my connection. Essentially, it is unusable.

  I tried various things thanks to scouring the internet:

  -Adjust the settings of the adapter wireless on all the power of the Plans that I use on 'Maximum Performance '.

  -All my network card drivers are up to date.

  -J' tried to disable the network card and allows him once again.

  Nothing works. It of very frustrating and is clearly a problem with Windows 8, because my laptop is brand new and all the drivers etc are up to date.

  I have not tried to uninstall and reinstall Windows, as I literally just received the computer the other day! I have tried unistalling and then re - install the wireless adapter, as it seems very risky to me

  Help, please!

  Hi James,

  I appreciate your efforts to solve the problem.

  This problem may occur if the network card is damaged or due to corrupted network drivers.

  Method 1:
  I suggest you to check if the problem occurs when you use a wired network connection or not.

  Method 2:
  I suggest you to see the steps in the article.

• Try burning your own movies on a DVD with Windows Media Player... Help, please

  I created a video in movie maker.  He recorded as a MP4 video that is 4.25 GB. The film is less than 30 minutes.  I'm trying to burn to a DVD + R that says it holds 8.5 GB / 240 minutes using Windows Media Player.  It is said that my file is too large to fit on the disk.  I don't understand why.  Help, please.

  I have seen other issues similar to mine where people suggested other software download burning DVDs.  If that's what I do, I'll do it.  However, I also know WHY the windows media player tells me that my file is too large because when I look at the numbers, it seems that it is NOT.  It seems that windows media player should be able to accomplish this simple task that I have to look for other software to download and learn.

  Thanks again!

  Windows Media Player can only burn files to DVD as data disc burning, the disc is not compatible with the DVD player. You can consult this guide, this is how burn mp4 movie to DVD, hope this helps you.
