  • audio is missing from windows xp

    You can help me find the audio on my windows xp pc

    Not really, there is much missing info!

    You can re - install the drivers audio from the CD of origin or the DVD provided with your PC (not the Windows disc) or better yet, go to the PC manufacturer's Web site and download the latest audio drivers specific to your machine from here.

    If the above does not work then to start:

    * is this a problem along these last?

    * any recent hardware change settings, or add or remove?

    * any software changes?

    * have you checked mixer to make sure that read, nothing is cut and all sliders are the max height?

    * the number of brand, the name and model of your device.

  • Why windows guide media is missing from windows media player using windows 8?

    Windows icon is not on my windows media player why not am I missing something? I like listening to the radio stations on the list.

    Why was the link to the deleted Media Guide site?  You broke something which worked well - nice work MSFT.

    Agree with Elroy - navigate to the "... windowsmedia.com" is simply another stage that was not necessary in the past.

    There is a partial solution.  1. go to the wondowsmedia.com site.  2. an internet radio station, click on listen--> WMP should open and start playing the station.  3. in WMP, on the right side, drop down and click "view list".  Must be the name of the radio station.  4 save the Radio station list (will appear in the playlists in the future).  5. While you listen to other stations, you can click with the right button on the station name in the window of the list and add it to your playlist registered.  6. your saved playlist (Internet radio) becomes your link to play directly from WMP.

    Again, not a full solution (it cannot browse stations w / in WMP), but if you have some Favorites, above is a way to hear directly from WMP.

    In your firewall settings make sure you that all executibles in the c:\windows\ehome are directly added to the some CA list uses to allow Internet access.

    It is a machine to assign?  If this is not the case, why you use CA on that?  Built in firewall when managed with the MMC "Windows Firewall with advanced security" is much better and because it is built in it includes all operating system components that need Internet access.

  • Not able to record audio streaming as "what you hear" option is missing from Windows 7.

    Original title: return to xp from w7 I need the internal registration option

    I bought a computer laptop compaq 615 with w7pro installed on it.  I have since discovered that for some reason any microsoft removed internal records "what you hear" function so I now can not record audio streaming and cannot also sound route from one program to another, which, as I'm involved in music, is something I have to do.  for example, I wanted to send audio from ableton live to visualjockey but w7 doesn't let me do that. I wanted to also allows you to record with camstudio but w7 will not realize any record audio.  It seems really stupid and now I can't do a lot of things I used to do on my old laptop with xp

    is there a way to get around this? I'm using the latest drivers.  If I reinstall xp on this laptop is going to find the "what you mean the feature? or y at - there a patch or something that I can use Microsoft?

    Thank you very much

    See my colleague Maurice RESPONSE message in this thread: http://answers.microsoft.com/thread/d6fedf33-dc1b-451f-9aab-97429f916180

    If still no joy, contact System Mechanic (iolo.com) supported for assistance-, they are well aware of the problem posed their candidacy.

  • Windows Installer service is missing from my Vista 32 bit. How to re-install Windows Installer?

    Windows Installer service is missing from my Vista 32 bit SP2. How can I re - install Windows Installer? None of the 27 sets of update and Installer Cleanup solutions worked, a last resort option could work but it will not install without the Windows Installer Service.

    I tried each FixIt option, says the problem is solved, but isn't.
    I tried install Windows Installer 4.5, but it came back as not relevant to my system (because there is no previous installer to update).
    Tried a number of recommended patches, but they are all geared toward fixing the problems of Windows Update not a lack of Windows Installer.
    MicrosoftFixit50202.msi seems to have corrected Windows Update on my laptop but it won't install on Vista pc because there is no Windows Installer.
    I ran the installation disc the option 'fix' with the original, it finished but has not replaced Installer and nothing was fixed.

    How can I put the installer of Windows on my computer?  If there are files on the original drive that can be put into drive C what are they?
    Someone suggested to uninstall Service Pack 2, and then reinstall, but if I have no installer of Windows that may not work. Others said they reformatted to correct same question, but it did not work.

    These previous solutions have not helped:
    Could not locate the installer of Windows on Vista Home Premium 32 bit.
    Difficulty the installer of windows vista sp2
    code641/MSI
    Failed installation error msg error 80070641 Windows update

    After a month of butting heads with the refusal of Microsoft to actually help except to sell us all a new copy of Vista or Win7 at the normal price I solved the problem myself.

    1. I made a list of all my software purchased, including required registration keys, etc. and site URL for those who I don't have a disk for.
    2. Deleted registry back up on my external hard disk, reloading apparently one makes the backed up registry problems breed more.
    3. Inserted my drive from Dell to factory since 2007 and restarted. Press a key to boot from the CD. Chose "reformat hard drive' first, then when prompted hit"Reinstall"(slightly different wording on your computer).
    4. After you have reinstalled the factory disc 32-bit Vista, I spent hours 7 next installation of SP1, SP2 and hundreds of updates. Note that several times Windows Update said some updates to date has failed, but finally everything installed correctly by repeating the sequence of installation/reboot to update. There have been a few files that reported to turn off computer completely, I've shown... clicked with indicator shutdown (stop), let it do its thing until it turned off the computer and then the computer restarted manually later. After a total of 8 hours and 14 minutes as my Vista has been fully loaded, updated the installer is still intact, everything works very well and did not cost a penny.

    It has been 2 days since the reformatting/reinstall. I reinstalled all my additional software without problem. System Mechanic is back in service without any prejudice to my installation Service. Seems that something is involved with .NET Framework 4 triggered a defense mechanism that caused the installer should be deleted, solved the problem of the .NET Framework from Microsoft, but it can be installed by the installer being removed to protect our computers. The question was not just with Dell computers, it is Dell support is just as incompetent that Microsoft support batch so more Dell owners were here to complain.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    FYI: my mobile Samsung with Win7, the correction was easier because my installation Service has not been removed:

    1. Uninstalled all the software using .net Framework 4 (only 2)
    2. Uninstalled all .net Framework 4 bodies found on my list of programs (Client Profile and Essentials)
    3. A ran my System Mechanic to remove debris aka too much clutter and correct registry problems
    4. Laptop rebooted then ran Windows Update. All the updates installed with 3 requiring the judgment to install. .NET framework reinstalled with updates.
    5. Reinstalled my 2 pieces of software that use .NET Framework.

    It has been 4 days without any problem at all. So, in my case, it's .NET Framework 4 that created and continued the problem, even if the specific audit FixIt kept saying all .NET Frameworks have been installed correctly.
