No sound when playing movies on my hard drive. However, I can listen to music on the internet and have sound playing discs in the portable disk drive. Any ideas?

I have Window XP and plays movies with windows media player.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Nwburbs2,

Since you get sound while playing music from Internet Explorer and playing discs, you can check in Windows media player if the sound is muted.

If you use the Windows media player 11, then you can see the change of Libraryfor following sound settings in Windows Media Player.

    Hello, my parents computer came RAM volume0 has failed and not be able to start. We went and brought a new hard drive, and its always say the same thing. Any ideas?

    A message on the RAID 0 volume failed is a recognizable error message, but the news is not good.

    RAID, by its nature, requires 2 or more drives.  RAID = redundant Bay of independent (or inexpensive) disks

    RAID 0 is the worst of the different RAID choices.  It increases the performance of hard disk by spreading or striping, data on two disks so that he can read and write more quickly. Unfortunately, such a picture offers no protection of data - in fact, it increases the chances of loss of data since the failure of a disk in the array results in the loss of all data on both drives. RAID 0 configurations are standard on high-end and PCs graphics games and provide a performance gain measurable, albeit modest for games, graphics applications and other programs intense from the hard drive.

    In view of the foregoing, the best course of action for you and your parents is to take the computer to a local computer professional - not a type of place BigBoxStoreUSA or GeekSquad.

    I use Windows, and we need to make visible hidden files and folders in order to see the App data access path.  OSX has a similar feature?  If you have spent the hidden files and folders things, remember what I said about the registration of CC2015 the path of the CC2014 file.  That one made me as well, but I worked it out by asking Photoshop to load new brushes and checked the place he was looking for.

    Hi, I have "1720 smart hard drive detects imminent failure" made a backup, Gather I have to get another drive. How can I transfer my windows vista / files to new drive? Help, please.

    Hello

    There are different ways to do

    and these methods depend on your hard drive work

    hard drive manufacturers will normally provide the cloning to move your operating system software from the old to the new drive hard If your old hard drive still works

    Search for information on this subject on their Web site

    If you have vista business or ultimate, you can use the builtin vista complete PC Backup to move

    read the information below

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial145.html

    or if you have vista home version you'll need 3rd party software

    link below is an example of this:

    http://www.Acronis.com/homecomputing/products/TrueImage/index.html

    also to put your machine how you bought:

    1. If vista is preinstalled, you should have a recovery on your old hard drive partition

    You can recovery disks to reinstall on your new drive hard If the old drive still works

    ask the manufacturer of the machine how

    2. contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

    they do it for a nominal cost of $

    3. or borrow a microsoft dvd vista

    Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

    they contain all versions of vista

    This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

  • Why firefox has slow response when I save images on hard drive?

    I have windows 7 64 bit and Mozila firefox worm 17.0.1. I have the following problem. When I try to save an image from a site (right mouse click and save as) the disk hard from my pc, firefox response is slow. It takes about 6 to 10 seconds. I thought that it was a matter of file size, but it turned out that it was not relevant because it was images of 10 KB to 500 KB. I did the following:
    -clear history
    -clear the firefox cache and the cache folder in my profile
    -Delete the downloads.sqlite and localstore.rdf files
    -J' changed the browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone and services.sync.prefs.sync.browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone false
    -clear the downloads window
    -Disable all add-ons

    After all this, the problem remains
    Then I started firefox in safe mode (help-> restart with the disabled... modules). The problem remains.
    Then I disabled the windows firewall and Microsoft security essentials (real-time protection). I don't have any other antivirus or firewall on my pc. Nothing happened.

    Then, I created a new profile (reset firefox). Nothing happened. A last attempt, then, remained to be done. Restart in safe mode. So I followed these steps.
    I ran msconfig and disabled Microsoft Security Client to start tab and Microsoft antimalware Service on the services tab. So, I did a boot in safe mode with network support and disabled windows firewall. Guess what. Nothing happened.

    I noticed that when I tried to record images, in the process, there was a significant activity of hard drive (the hard drive activity led indicator was constantly lighting) and firefox in the upper left corner, shown the message does not for about 6 to 10 seconds. You understand that saving a picture of 19 Ko in 10 seconds is not normal.

    Is - this problem has to do with the cache? The disc is a SSD (solid state drive). Do you think that it would be preferable to redirect the in-memory cache? (I have 6 GB of total RAM). This problem was also in previous versions of firefox, but I think that with this version, the problem is more common. This is not the case with all the photos, but it happens with more than 65% of the images.

    It also happens when loading a web page, but it could be a question of a heavy web page that uses a lot of resources in my system, while loading. The problem is the same. Constant hard disk activity and it takes time to load the web page. The problem with the loading of the web page, is not as common as with saving images.

    I think it's a question of management of the cache. What is your opinion?

    Thank you.

    The cause of my problem was the jump lists, which has Windows 7. There are two types of jump lists, automatic or custom. Automatic jump lists caused the slow decline in firefox via Windows Explorer. Finally, it was a windows problem exploring and not firefox. Windows 7 introduces many new features that cause slow system performance. In any case, the solution to the problem is to follow the steps:
    1. open my computer and on the address bar paste the path: %AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\AutomaticDestinations
    2. press CTRL + a
    3. press SHIFT + DELETE and delete the entire folder
    I think the respective windows Explorer jump list is one that begins with 1b4dd67f29cb1962, in which case you do not want to delete the list of every jump in the folder. If you use firefox, download a file and then go to the above mentioned path and view the files by date. The most recent file must be the correspondent with firefox.
