    3. click on the levels tab.
    4. move the cursor upwards or downwards to set the desired volume level, and then click OK.

    Method 2: use Control Panel

    I have problems with my laptop in regards to the audio service does not. The sound icon has an x on it and ran the SCP prompt automatically update/fix drivers without success (may have spelled promot hurt, but it was the solution to many similar forum messages). I also tried to uninstall the audio driver and put it back, however when I run the driver installation an error message appears and says that Windows Audio is not running and needs in order to perform the installation. I went to the system administrator and seen the services menu and went to windows audio properties. I tried from the program and the error message "error 0 x 80004005: unspecified error" comes up. All dependent services for the Windows Audio are running, so I came to a dead end. The only thing I can think of that would make the audio not working do not is my battery. My battery is in poor condition and needs to be replaced, so I always us the AC cord to power the computer. Depends on Windows Audio battery somehow or something of this nature? If so, is there anyway around this until I can buy a new? Thanks for your help. Clay

    Hi Tom,

    Try the following.

    Download the Realtek Audio Installer on the link below and save it in your downloads folder.

    http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp66001-66500/sp66107.exe

    When finished, press and hold the Windows key and press R.  In the run window, type devmgmt.msc and press ENTER.

    Expand sound, video and game controllers.  Right click on the Realtek device and select uninstall - also, you should get a command prompt to delete the current driver, check the box allow this and then proceed to uninstall.

    When you are finished, download and reinstall the Chipset driver at the following link.

    http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp66001-66500/sp66094.exe

    After reinstalling, shut down the laptop, unplug the AC adapter and then remove the battery.  Press and hold the Power button for 30 seconds.  Reinsert the battery and plug in the AC adapter.

    Robinet tap away at the key esc that you start the computer to launch the Start Menu, and then select f10 to open the bios menu.  Press f9 to load the default values (sometimes it is f5, but the menu below indicates the correct key), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and press ENTER.  Press f10 to save the setting and still use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and press on enter.

    Let Windows load completely - it can automatically load an audio driver, but let just this complete.  Then open your download folder, right-click on the installation of Realtek Audio program and select "Run as Administrator" to launch the installation.  Once this done, do a right-click the speaker icon in the taskbar and select playback devices.  Left click 'Speakers and headphones' (or speakers/HP) once to highlight and then click on the button set as default (it will be gray if already defined)-check if you now audio.

    If you have still no audio, hold down the Windows key and press R.  Type services.msc and press ENTER.  Search for audio Windows servive, right-click and select Properties.  If the service does not work, try to run.

    If you still receive the "Windows could not start the service windows audio on local computer» Error OX800706cc - the endpoint is double ' mistake, you're best bet is to do a Refresh as detailed on the link below.

  • HP 8600 over Error Message: paper detected does not match format of paper or type selected.

    HP Officejet Pro 8600 more

    Windows XP Pro, Windows 7 Pro

    Error message: paper detected does not match format of paper or type selected

    This error message appears on the printer display panel any time a custom paper size has been set up in Word (or any other application) and the format of paper & type was inserted in the Officejet Pro 8600 paper tray.  This error is generated by the printer regardless the orietation or margins or paper size settings in the document to match the paper size in the paper tray.  When you press 'OK' on the printer display panel, the printer ejects paper correctly.  Because this printer lacks a manual bypass tray, the custom paper is always inserted in the Tray1 and is the only book in this tray 1.  It's a simple tray 8600 more.

    What I am doing wrong?

    Your help is greatly appreciated.

    Unfortunately, you cannot print on a paper size "undefined" with printers. While the functionality is available in word, our printers do not recognize that the sizes of the main paper (these changes according to the country sometimes).

    The reason for this is because undefined paper sizes open the printer and the print job to a certain number of risks, including jams paper or misaligned printing. This is why the function is no more on HP printers.

    I recommend to find a type of traditional paper which is close to the size you want to print on and select in the layout of the print job as a workaround for this problem.

    I hope this helps!

    installed pes 2013 on laptop when you select game get error message "video card does not meet the required specifications (GPU:VRAM 128 MB)" can anyone help?

    This means what he says.  You do not have the minimum required VRAM.
    The minimum specs for the game is listed as 128 MB of VRAM, but is supposed to work
    on the graphics card integrated Intel 2000/3000.
    The amount of VIDEO memory dedicated on laptops is apparently determined by the FAB of the laptop.

    Without knowing which laptop, or if it is one that has a dedicated graphics card, I guess that your laptop uses integrated graphics that devotes too little of VRAM (64 MB?),
    If it does not the minimum requirement of 128 MB of VRAM.

  • Error message: "Build signature does not match environment.

    Hello

    I had a problem when you try to access the same data to two different computers through the library of BerkeleyDB. I stored data in berkeley db to Machine_A. Then I copy the data to another machine Machine_B. When I try to open it again. It by the following error message:
    --------------------------------------------------------------------
    Create signature does not correspond to environment
    error in creating environment varialbe document 1
    --------------------------------------------------------------------
    The error message is raised by this code:
    Database db = env.openDatabase (null, null, dbName, dbConfig);


    The data are stored in native java code of Berkeley DB. In both machines, I used Berkeley DB 4.7.25.The berkeley db libraries are compiled independently on both machines. Machine_A is "Machine_A Linux 2.6.26 - 1-amd64 #1 SMP Sat Nov 8 18:25:23 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux. Machine_B is "Linux MachineB 2.6.22 - 2-686 #1 SMP killed Aug 31 00:24:01 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux",

    I guess the problem is because as the data itself contains version information. But it's ironic for me. The library is dependent on the computer because it is written in C, but the data must be dependent. Am I missing something?

    Thank you

    Marie-Claude

    Hello. Berkeley DB depends on having structures of uniform size for the life of the community, because these structures must be written and reading environment files. For this reason, each environment contains a signature of the size of the structure, and this stored signature is compared to a signature freshly calculated in open environment. My first guess as to why you see this error is that type sizes on Machine A (x86_64) don't match those of the Machine B (i686). To share files of the environment between 32 and 64-bit platforms, you will need to make sure that the library on the 64-bit platform uses 32-bit types sizes (4 bytes for example pointers, instead of 8-byte pointers.)
