It was two days ago, and today ive noticed that my computer is really slow! its NEVER this slow and my sound does not work what if I ever, a small icon of a speaker with a red x on it and when I go it is a message that says 'the audio service is not running' when I went on the Board and went to sounds, I activated the service sound, but nothing has changed. my itunes will not play or anything like that.

  • Dell Inspiron laptop, Windows Vista Factory restore problems :(

    Hi, I'm a poster first. My computer knowledge is empowered moderate, so please cut me some slack! I hope someone can help me, I would be very happy.

    I have a Dell Inspiron laptop computer and the operating system Windows Vista 32. I recently tried a factory restore. I wish that I would have looked at this site before I tried.

    I finished the factory restore, but I think that I made a mistake. I have saved all the files except my music files, because I didn't think anything was important. I'm stoopied. Now, when I try to use my computer is a few things wrong with it.

    1 there is no way to connect to or even to recognize a wireless network. I have one in my house who previously worked a lot with my computer. When I use windows to diagnose the problem: "this computer has an adapter installed and configured wireless device." If I click on the button that says "install wireless networking equipment and verify that the correct drivers are loaded. Up is a window "Solve driver problems" which is almost useless.

    2. when I try to run a program, for example already installed windows Mah Jong Titans, on the computer I get this message: "exceleration material is either disabled or not supported by your video card driver, which could slow down the performance of the game. Good so my video card is not well configured. Now that I look, the resolution looks really different than before. Kind of a blur. I use my computer to run the music production software so I don't know that this is going to work.

    3. I have the DVD of re-installation of the operating system. I also have the CD of resources that contains all of the drivers (or other.) I can't load the drivers, or even knowing which ones I should install.

    I guess that I just want to know what I do to recover my computer at 100%. I hope that my problem is not too broad or too specific, but I hope some feeling there out a pain and can help out me.

    THANKS IN ADVANCE

    -nick

    OK, the factory restore (takes 10 minutes) is less work because everything is done and you do not have to load drivers or utilities. In any case, it is easy to do and you have all that on the drivers and utilities CD. There might be a few steps on the CD, but you can download Dell. Once you have reinstalled Windows back post and I'll tell you the order in which to load your drivers. To do this: equip your Windows DVD. Everything that comes close to her. Restart the computer. As soon as you see the Logo Dell press F12. You will see the start page. Select your drive (should already be highlighted) and press ENTER. Press a key, install now, accept licenses, instructions are not always the same for each computer, depends on your configuration. Take your time, follow the instructions carefully. You must delete all data from your hard drive (C :) and the NTFS file system format. Also delete (D :), it's where is the factory restore.) You can post back if you arrive at a page (just stop there and wait for my reply) you don't understand.

  • The mouse driver and Touchpad Driver for Dell Studio laptop will not work with Vista

    I just bought a Dell Studio laptop at new years 2009 with the Vista platform.   I had nagging problems with the mouse driver and the touchpad pointer that were completely related software.  These questions were returning back over the months and months.   I've owned about 10 PCs since 1989 and I've never had a bad result like this.   My wife and I have lost 20 to 30 hours of our time looking after him.   This could have the Vista operating platform?   I suffered so much that I made my decision to seriously consider the range of Apple computers.   At this point, I lay the responsibility for the drivers who did not also work on Microsoft and Dell.  20 - 30 hours can go a long way in learning the OS from Apple.    I am a professional project management and professional engineer and can't believe that something as basic as the mouse driver and the driver of the Touchpad was a goner at the launch of the computer screwup.   I guess that the validation of test have been ignored.  I have never been madder with any computer I've owned.  I learned a lesson from this.   Do not trust Dell or Microsoft in the manufacture of new products.  As far as I know Apple users don't get treated this way.

    Sorry, but I really cannot speculate more what happens - or go - with your computer without being able to see the machine. It's the first time, you mentioned a bluetooth mouse and that you have installed the drivers three times. Certainly a bad image would not apply in this case. There are probably other things that pass only someone actually looking at the machine would be able to discern.

    However, since this is a new laptop and you are unhappy with it, return it under warranty and buy something else. I'm sorry that I wasn't able to help you. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • I have problems wireless on my Acer laptop which has Windows Vista. I am able to connect to my school of university network and used to connect to my home network.

    original title: Wireless on the Fritz

    I have problems wireless on my Acer laptop which has Windows Vista.  I am able to connect to my school of university network and used to connect to my home network (both are networks limited requiring a password or log in).  However, last week my computer stopped connecting to my home network (no one else has this problem with the home network).  I tried to fix the problem, but my computer says that "Wireless association failed because Windows did not receive response from the access point or wireless router."  That said also thatthe connection "(my wireless network)" has been cancelled.  This is perhaps due to a timeout or user action. »

    The only different thing I did last week was click option at my University 'connect long-term' instead of 'connect short term' to their wireless network.  Maybe who has messed up my settings?  That's what my University said of his record long term: "students, faculty and staff also have an option to easily record their computer (or other wireless devices), so that it is not necessary to authenticate each day they connect from the network wireless campus, to resources outside the University.»  However, these settings are saved on their network (I can access it online from another computer), so I think it is unlikely that he messed up my settings.

    I don't really know what the problem is.  Any ideas as to what I can do?  I don't want to reset my computer everything.

    Thank you!

    Hello

    You can view these methods:

    Method 1:

    I suggest you to disable any program of security on your computer and check if it solves the problem.

    After reviewing the question you must reactivate the security on your computer program.
    Note: Run the computer without antivirus software or firewall is a potential threat to the computer; Be sure to activate security software after completing the troubleshooting steps and after identifying the problem.
    Method 2:
    I suggest also allows you to check in SafeMode with network.
    Method 3:
    I also suggest you to check the settings of the router firewall.
  • I have problems with my audio new laptop second hand when I plug in external speakers, it's as if some of the sound is missing. Can anyone help?

    Problem: Sound is missing for example hand singing on a piece of music.
    Laptop: Compaq Presario C700/C731TU
    Sound: High Def Conexant Smart Audio 221
    Version 4.42.0.50

    I tried updating the driver and also searched through preferences and settings but have not found a solution, this is the first place where I've been since then. IT all works very well by means of edge speakers, but even a standard set of headphones seems to miss her.

    Thanks for you suggestion, I did since then and he said that everything was working fine. I also tried a number of other suggestions from other sites, without success. I then went to do a physical inspection and when I unplugged the audio cable I noticed that the ring of metal around the entrance of my helmet was missing, I told the person, I bought the laptop. Fortunately he found on his ground, not knowing what it was and put it on the side of "just in case". I have re-installed and the whole works fine. So if someone else is reading this and is not able to resolve a similar audio problem with something to do with the software, look at the finer physical details. It could be as simple as that.

  • Windows 7 problem with the Dell XPS 15 laptop (L502x)

    Dear friends,

    Greetings!

    I need your assistance related to a problem, I was confronted with my Dell XPS laptop computer L502x purchased in the United Kingdom a couple of years back. In fact, I tried to update my system for windows-10 de-windows 7 Home Premium (originally installed) via windows update. Later, due to some display problems driver I had to return to the former. But, as soon as I returned my windows for windows 7 HP, it stopped at day no more and I was constantly receives the message from windows update that always ends with a constant error message; so the update process has failed every time.

    Therefore, I want to restore my laptop to factory through the restore partition settings that already exist in my machine, the "repair" option does not appear (snapshot attached) when I hit the F8 key. I wonder if there is another option available to use this recovery partition to recover my laptop to factory State. Please suggest me the solution so that I can do what is necessary to restore my machine to the factory settings.

    I can't wait to have an encouraging response from you.

    Best,

    Adnan!

    If the Ctrl key pressed, while pressing the F11 key repeatedly (about once per second) at startup does not work, it means that the recovery partition no longer exists.  If this is the case, you cannot restore to the factory.

    This would also be the case if the hard drive has been replaced.

  • No sound on Dell Latitude D520

    Dell Latitude D520 was in a good condition, a few weeks ago, regarding the sound and programming settings, functioned at that time here. Someone handed the laptop down to me and from that point is when I started having problems who never were a problem, all the time that I used it. The main problem is the fact that there is absolutely no sound. I took it to a sales associate at a store that does repairs on computers, who asked me to do a diagnostic check/scan, and when this was complete I discovered a problem under the sounds and Audion devices that joined the "IDT High Definition Audio CODEC" does not properly, so when I went through the troubleshooting instructions , a download started, but was interrupted with a notice reading "continues the instalation of this software may impair or destabilize the functioning of your system, either immediately or in the future." Microsoft strongly reccomends that you stop the installation of this software now and contact the provider of material for software that has passed Windows Logo test. "The sales associate told me that my problem was a change in the sound for some reason or another settings. In the hope that the previous owner might be able to give me some instructions on what changes have been made so that I could directly where to go and what kind of changes, I do, I failed in my attempt to get ANY useful information like that either, because he says he brought no change, so the sound should work. Although it is most certainly not!

  • Re: No sound after install Vista - Tecra M7

    I improved my Tecra M7 to Vista (and then upgraded to Vista SP1) but the computer is no longer plays sounds (no music, no sound system - nothing)

    I installed the latest Realtek HD driver, I have the latest version of the Bios.

    Device Manager indicates that everything is working. "Speaker" icon tells me that his work (the green bar follows the beat of the music)

    The volume & button Mute works - I can't get the "speaker" modifying, turning to the top/bottom/inhibition icon. I tried the headphones in and out.

    I checked the bios if the sound card has been disabled it - but it seems that there is no possibility to change the settings of the sound card in the bios.

    Does anyone have an idea on what I'm doing wrong here?

    Maybe I can help you;

    I read on a sound problem after installation of Vista it happened if XP was preinstalled on your laptop and the mute box was accidentally activated.

  • My desktop Dell - Vista - computer does not, the monitor says no entry and have to wake up computer

    I have a desktop Dell Vista computer.  A few days earlier, when I pressed the power button to turn it on, nothing happened.  When I turned on the monitor, he says that he came into power saving mode.  When I checked the monitor once again, he said that there is no entry for the computer and press any key of the keyboard or mouse to wake up.

    The computer is plugged in and the green light in the back is on.  I don't remember putting the computer to sleep.  I thought I made a stop for a few days in advance.  Press and hold the power button on the computer does not start it or turn it off.  There is no sound (such as a fan).  I unplugged the computer briefly a few times, and then I finally unplugged overnight and is plugged in.  Light lights up in the back, but is not the "num lock" key on the keyboard and the light under the mouse does not light.

    I checked a few suggestions on this site, but they all require that the computer be on and you enter in this form or the screen.  Is the computer dead?
