Problems of thw whole adter computer tries to right the wrongs of a virus by reinstalling Windows XP. Especially with the sound card and microsoft components.
I had some virus that wiped out my computer and began to delete files .exe for evrything and started to interfere with my network connections that made me unable to get on the internet. I've got rid of the virus, but still not able to get on the internet, so I decided to reinstall Windows XP from the service pack CD that I got with the computer. Now that I did it, it seems that all the components of windows have disappeared from my list of programs in the control panel. I still have everything that was on the hard drive on it, but I can't seem to get things to transfer to the new XP operating. My biggest thing I found is that my soundcard has seemed to disappear and my volume control will not work because it says I have no mixers or equipment installed. Help, please.
You don't have a clean install of Windows. Backup your data and do a clean install according to the instructions below. Once installation is complete, you will then need to install the drivers for all your hardware.

Problems with the video card and sound card on Toshiba model #PSLCOU - 02701G
I bought a new laptop in 2009, and it is a Toshiba, model #PSLCOU - 02701G. After about three months the video card and the sound began to spoil. It's what he does, I can go on U-tube or any web site that has a video to watch like CNN news, etc. What it does is it starts to play and the video and the sound is good and he paused for a few seconds and starts again, new breaks and pauses, starts, pauses, starts. He does it all the time, and I was wondering if you all have any idea whats going on? Help? Help?
It really sucks when you try to watch the news. Also, I put a CD or DVD into the laptop and it works perfectly. I can watch any DVD or listen to a GREAT Cd.
How is your network connection? Sometimes, the system needs to create a cache to store the downloaded information and if the download is not pass quickly enough the system will freeze while wiaiting for download to catch up - not a problem with your sound cards and video, but with the speed of Connection on the website or on the network itself (or your network equipment). This looks like the case if the DVD and the CD's works fine. Check your internet connection and try to download the video pages to see if the problem is with all the downloads, or only those on a site. You can contact your ISP and have them help check you connection and settings and the modem for problems or changes, you can do to improve things. Sometimes happens to me as well in the internet connection runs slower than normal and there is nothing that I can do but wait to accelerate - and it's frustrating.
You can get in trouble with your device drivers. Go to the Device Manager by going to start / find and type Device Manager and enter and then double-click on the program icon that appears. Check each device to a red x, yellow! or white? These identify devices with problems probably (drivers, but also of conflict or something else). Click on each for more details and troubleshooting tips. If you need to get the drivers (and you need you to do all you have time to do, but at least the network card, sound card and video card - they can help way beyond simply solve this problem), get the computer dealer or the manufacturer of the device (NOT of Microsoft Updates). In fact, you must disable automatic updates in Windows Update driver as follows: http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/how-to-disable-automatic-driver-installation-in-windows-vista/. Follow these steps to get the drivers: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/ht/driverdlmfgr.htm. Once you have the drivers, you can install them via the Manager device as follows: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-device-manager-install-driver.html.
I hope this helps.

See http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/how-do-I-change-the-behavior-of-user-account-control-by-using-the-sliderNote: You must restart your computer when you enable or disable UAC. Change levels of notification does not require that you restart your computer.

Once the software is installed, it will not be removed under normal circumstances.
I do not know if your computer is still infected and it is removed or the problem is that you can't 'see' photoshop' but it is always installed.
to verify this, check the installation directory and check its size on your hard drive.

Hi Keith,
You won't be able to re - install using the discs and the number of series that you used initially, but we have a solution.
The activation for more server CS2 is no longer in service. For this reason, we did a version of these titles of software available that doesn't require activation. This is for users who already buy the software. For more details and specific links for the software, please see the following link:
Activation server stops for Creative Suite 2 and Acrobat 7 product Macromedia
Instead of your old serial number, use the one shown next to the download link: download Acrobat 7 and CS2 products

Start the computer in safe mode (press F8 continuously immediately after power and don't worry beeps when you press the button) and let it boot without a network. Once there right click on the desktop and then click Properties. Click settings and the value of the monitor mode (640 X 480) VGA or SVGA (800 X 600). Accept the changes and restart the computer. You should have a mediocre screen, but you should see it now. Download and install the appropriate drivers for your video card in the laptop to the web site of the manufacturer of the laptop. Install the drivers and then you should be able to set the display of the laptop to the correct native resolution for your computer monitor (must be in the documentation of the laptop). -
