Sound not working after reinstalling Windows XP

Hello!! I recently formatted my hard drive and reinstalled Windows XP. I get not all sounds, even the normal beeps and boops and not even my moniter.

When I look inside Start--> Panel--> sounds and Audio devices, it says I have no audio device.

I checked my set of external speakers, and they seem to be plugged into the computer and power (the light on East)

Any suggestions?

    Hello
    It sounds like you need to reinstall the drivers for this keyboard. It is likely that when you reinstalled Windows, all the old drivers have disappeared as well. So, I recommend two things.

    First, visit the website of your computer manufacturer and update all the drivers. For example, if you have an HP computer, go to the HP site and find your specific computer it. Then download all the drivers that have been updated for the PC.

    Secondly, you may need to download the drivers for this specific keyboard. In this case, you will do the same as above. Go to the website of the factory (on the keyboard) and find this specific model. Then download the drivers

    I hope this helps. Just reply to the results.

  • Sync does not work after reinstalling Windows 7

    Sync works great between my Windows 7 Desktop and 8.1 tablet. The PC got a clean installation of Windows this weekend and now Sync does not work. I do not receive my bookmarks/history/etc on the desktop.

    -Two versions of Firefox are updated (40.0.2)
    -J' read the troubleshooting and installation FAQs
    -I am able to sign in sync on both computers
    -For the signature, I get a popup saying that Sync will begin momentarily and an e-mail notification. Nothing happens tho.

    I suspect that the problem is related to this 'new' version of Sync. I tried to follow the FAQ "Updated to the new version of Sync", I took off the two devices, I checked both are on the latest version of Firefox, but the next step is to create a new account to sync and it doesn't let me do, I plug my email and get "account already exists." What Miss me?

    The new profile created from the clean windows installed a fusion with other devices? Check the device to see if it retains profile data.

    Have you changed the password? This would stop all data from previous synchronization that was not local.

    If you go down this road of troubleshooting, the account must be deleted first. However to prevent data loss, you can click on remove account from accounts.firefox.com and then re - sign up.

  • Business app does not work after reinstalling Windows XP

    Original title: program programs application Applications compatibility

    I have an application that runs on the client computer with XP.  When I run the application, it will be all first authenticates the user by collecting the ID of the system that must be registered with the key to series given by the owner.  Once the registration takes place, then only, the application should open. Recently, I had to reinstall XP Pro (SP3) on my PC. Now, the same application when it is running on my PC with XP or laptop with Windows 8 with compatibility to XP, it does not jump the authentication window, instead, directly opens the application.
    Without authentication, the application should not open. What is the solution.

    No sound from my Dell Inspiron 1420 and the microphone and built-in laptop camera do not work after installing Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. My laptop has Windows 7 Vista 32 - bit family premium. My laptop is 64-bit capable and after going through the Upgrade Advisor, I installed Windows 7 64-bit. I can hear sounds when I use a headset plugged into the line-in Jack, but not through the speakers built into the laptop. I already tried new drivers from the Dell website, but I could not find.

    Any help will be much appreciated. Thank you.

    As it is has no drivers 64 bit Windows 7 on Dell Web site, your best chance is to install the 64-bit versions of Vista (if they exist) in compatibility mode, viz:

    Right click on the Vista driver, then select Properties > Compatibility tab. Now choose to run the program in Vista compatibility mode and then apply > OK. Right click on the file and select run as administrator to install it.

    Audio service

    Multimedia class Scheduler

    I also rebooted each one for good measure, but still no sound with or without headphones. And I made sure that it is not on mute! : )

    Hello

    Try the following.

    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 f5 to load the default values (sometimes it's f9, 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.

  • Stream HP X 360: touchscreen does not work after updating windows on HP Stream 10 x 360

    Hello

    I have a problem with my HP Jet x 360 after doing the update of windows 10. Seems that there are no drivers for touch screen in windows 10 again, even a generic driver.

    I checked the Device Manager and found 6 Uknown devices with no driver.

    I installed the HP support Assistant, but found no driver. Windows Update No.

    Under Human Interface devices group I can't see the touch screen and in the settings app is also absent.

    I also checked the diagnostic tool in the BIOS, but the touch screen works very well.

    Please help me!

    Thanks four your help.

    You can correct the touchsreen windows version 8.1 of 'Serial IO driver without connected sleep Support Intel'. As someone discovered in this treat: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Hardware/touch-screen-on-stream-11-x360-not-working-after-windows-10/td-p/5188892

    However this does rest not correct the prolbem completely! The Touschreen works but not the accelorometer. I hope HP suport can provide some real suport at some point and release drivers that make accelometer works in windows 10.
