• Inspiron 9300 screen turns off after the Windows Logo screen

  Inspiron 9300 my wife became severely infected.  I thought I had some weird things start popping up of the problem decided to wipe the hard drive and start over.  Unfortunately, I don't have to restore disks when I bought the computer.  I install windows xp pro service pack 2 full retail version.

  Installation was not a problem until I installed the driver ATI Mobility x 300.  I followed directions for installation from the website, do the installation of xp followed of the dell system software update followed of chipset followed video driver.  After that whenever I put on, the screen turns off after the Windows Logo.  The computer is still running and if I plug an external monitor everythng is fine.

  I tried all the troubleshooting tips I've seen in this forum.  I did a full install twice. made of safety boots (all right), started in VGA mode (works fine), I ran diagnostics from fn on startup, including express, extended and video tests and they pass all the controls.  I'm sure it's a software problem, but have been unable to solve.  I've updated the ATI bios although when I run it says already installed and done one installs x 300 driver on 6 ttimes own.

  I know it must be something simple that I'm missing. My system is the Inspiron 9300 with 2 GB of ram and the mobility x 300 card.  Any help would be appreciated.

  
  

• No sound/video game; Only the system sounds

  How to troubleshoot sound problems in Windows XP

• System only through headphones - no music sounds. BUT... the music only through USB speakers. No system sounds. What is happening with this?

  I listened to the music on my computer through headphones regular plugged into the audio jack of 3.5 mm.  I could hear the computer through headphones - music, movies, YouTube, system sounds - everything.

  Then, I plugged my Microsoft Digital Sound System 80 speakers via the USB interface.  Windows XP found the speakers, loaded the right driver, gave me the message "your device is ready to use" and things started to play music that was running on the computer.  Sounds incredible.

  But now, I have a weird problem.  I can hear only the sounds system through headphones (beeps and dings that play during system events), but I can't hear the sound system on the USB speakers. AND... I can't hear the music/videos/YouTube, etc. on the speakers USB-interface, but I can't hear the sound system through the USB speakers.

  When I go to the audio tab of the sounds applet in the control panel and change the device for audio playback by default "SoundMAX HD Audio" to "Microsoft Digital Sound System", then I hear everything - system and all - sounds on USB speakers.  But then I hear anything through the headphones.

  I want to be able to Exchange music back to making the USB speakers.  How this is done?

  Yes, they are older speakers.  But they work a lot.  And the digital sound via the USB interface is excellent.

  Hi BitSpanker,

  The only option is to change the audio device by default for the device that you want to hear the audio.

  (a) click Start, click Control Panel, and then click sounds, speech, and Audio devices.

  (b) click on sounds and Audio devices, and then click the Audio tab.

  (c) in the sound playback section, under default device, make sure the audio device is the correct default audio device.

  (d) If this isn't the correct default audio device, click the drop-down list next to the device name, click the audio device you want, and then click OK.

  Change the audio device may require that restart you your computer.

• Satellite P20 - system sounds work but nothing else

  I have a P20-552 (PSP26E-025E9-S4) which is a little more than two years. This morning he suddenly decided to not play some sounds. System sounds play as usual as do all soundtracks from my video editing software (Adobe Premiere Elements).

  However, when you try to open a file AVI, WAV or MP3 using WMP, I get the following message:

  Windows Media Player cannot play the file because there is a problem with the audio device. It might not be a sound device installed on your computer, it can be used by another program, or it might not work properly

  iTunes gives you a similar error message.

  RealPlayer produces more sound during radio playback. It gives all the possible indications of play station involved, but no actual sound is produced. It was working fine last night.

  The only thing I remember past which was for the first time in four days, when I turned the machine last night the Windows automatic update did NOT install something. For the last four days, he apparently had five updates to perform each time and I, of course, always left the machine in order to perform updates and turns off.

  In Control Panel, I just went in sounds and Audio devices and on the Volume tab, he says no. Audio Device. Under the tab Audio everything is grey I ve a feeling that this is not normal

  In Device Manager there is no indication of any conflicts etc.

  Can someone help me, please?

  I had a similar situation after voice chat through MSN messenger. Remove the sound card in Device Manager, reboot the device and check if it works again. If so, is probably a responsible application of this.

  Which one? Find only.

• Loss of system sounds and the internet, speakers pass test.

  I have seen this issue a couple of times for its complete loss, but only once for my specific problem.  I am running Windows Vista 32 - bit OS with speakers Realtek High Definition Audio on a HP Pavilion Media Center m7760n.  I have run the diagnostics on my speakers and that they work properly.

  Here's my question:

  Lost computer system sounds and flashplayer/internet despite the audio device in place and work properly.  I still have sound when playing Windows Media Player and iTunes, so it doesn't seem like a problem of device or driver, although I did uninstall and reinstall the driver.  I also performed some diagnostics on the speakers and in the test that they did play sounds, but they haven't played the system sounds in the sounds/system folder.  Another strange appearance is the presence of the sound of my PC, an alert tone, I don't remember having heard it before and cannot be bound.  These are the programs that have been installed around the time I lost sound: Windows Update, Package of device driver of network adapters Apple and Serial Bus controller device driver Package universal of Apple, Inc.  This computer has always run Vista, so is not upgrade, and I don't think it's a Service Pack, it could only be that of the update, so I don't know if these answers would really help me.  I searched on Google, CNet, HP and the basis of knowledge of Windows without success.

  Here is a link to a question from CNet which reflects mine, but relates to the execution of a registry cleaner, that I did not.  http://forums.CNET.com/5208-12546_102-0.html?ThreadId=345265

  I read on one of my research about it being a registry with Flash or a missing codec problem, but it wants me to download K-Lite codec pack which I don't know that I need.

  I run a restore if there is no available answer, but it would be good to know what the problem is.  I can't be the only one with this problem, if there is someone out there who knows how to solve this problem, your help would be greatly appreciated!

  Terri,
  If this problem started when you downloaded the updates listed in your first post, you tried to remove these updates to see if the problem goes away?  What are the Apple updates that you noted in your post - what kind of Apple devices you have installed?  And what Vista update - what is has been downloaded just before this problem?  Just try to identify what it is a very strange problem with it only affects some sounds, but not all.  I know that some Vista updates can return drivers for Windows by default, crushing the drivers from the manufacturer, so you could check and make sure you have the latest drivers from the manufacturer and not the default Windows drivers.  Also check your templates of sounds in the control panel.  Try selecting different models of sounds to see if any of them will play sounds.  As a first step, you said that the sound works with Media Player and iTunes, but in your last post, you said that it gives you an error when you try to play a CD.  What is the exact error and what program are you trying to use to play the CD?  I know that you do not want to do the system restore, but you may need.

  Here's one thing to try before you perform the restore:
  To run the System File Checker tool, follow these steps:
  Click Start and type cmd in the box start the search.
  Right click on cmd in the list programs, and then click Run as administrator.
  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue
  At the command prompt, type the following line and press ENTER:
  sfc/scannow
  When the analysis is complete, test to see if the problem you are experiencing is resolved.

• upgrade to Windows 7 on a dell inspiron 9300 with windows xp

  I have a dell inspiron 9300 and I just upgraded from windows xp to windows 7 Ultimate edition 32 bit. I can't install the drivers of my resource cd.

  Win 7 will automatically detect the NETWORK card drivers but not the drivers for the wifi card. The easiest way is to connect the network cable to your computer and run windows update. This will update your display drivers (I have geforce go6800 and it worked) and the drivers for your wireless card. So now you have a proper and internet wireless display. Now, you can go to the dell website and download the drivers for sound card for i9300 (xp version). Run the drivers in compatibility mode for win xp and you have sound on your computer.

• system sounds will not play

  Dear Microsoft,

  I felt a strange problem I was wondering that you could help me with.

  For almost 48 hours now that I've lost the ability to play sounds on the computer system - don't be fooled here; I can play sounds through my headphones or the speakers, and I can play the audio file system in other programs.  It is only when you try to play through the 'Sounds' of the volume control Manager tab, all I get is an odd clicking effect.

  It's almost as if the executable responsible for controlling audio files, performing the action attached, stopped working.  Can you tell me how to reset this feature?

  Hi Hyncharas,

  Were there any changes made on the computer before the show?

  To resolve the problem with system sounds, follow these methods:

  Method 1:

  I suggest you to follow these steps and check if you are able to hear the sounds of the system:

  a. click Start , click Control Panel.

  b. click hardware and sound and then click sound.

  c. on the sounds tab, make sure that its regime is set to default Windows.

  d. on the Communications tab, select reduce the volume of other sounds of 80%.

  e. click OK.

  f. check if the problem persists.

  Method 2:

  You can also check out the link to correct sound problems and check if it helps:

  Tips for solving common audio problems

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/tips-for-fixing-common-sound-problems

  Method 3:

  If the problem is not resolved, try to restore the system to an earlier point of time before the problem occurred and check if it works:

  In Windows 7 system restore

• Change the hard drive of my Inspiron 9300

  Hello!

  This is my first post on this forum.

  Since July 2005, I have a Dell Inspiron 9300.

  As it is now out of warranty, I would change the hard drive in it.

  So I have a few questions, I'm looking for answers to if possible.

  I will present my questions in two different parts, the first is on the material, the disc itself and then the software thing.

  (A) material:

  (1) should what equipment I expect? I know it's a hard disk IDE, so I guess I have to get the same kind, in parallel ATA works?

  (2) I read here and there that the BIOS is limited to hard drives 120 GB, because more is not supported by the latter. You know a way to expand this capacity? (Only a medium chest!)

  (3) what kind of drives advise you? (Brand, speed, etc...)

  (4) I read on description hard drive 'IDE ATA 100' or ' IDE ATA 133 "in online shops, you know what it is?

  (B) software:

  (1) I would like to be sure that I will install the same things as when I do "Ctrl + F11", for the utility norton Ghost (want to keep this option!), which reinstall the entire computer with factory settings. I will get this during the installation with the recovery CD? Or you have a way to get this? (I want the same computer I have today, except a different HDD only!)

  (2) do you know how to create a D: partition, so that I have a part for programs and a part for the storage of the files?

  (3) how to install, is it: replace drive HARD; start the computer while starting on the recovery CD, Partition the disk HARD C: and D: (with the D: partitioned within the C: drive, I guess) and complete the installation of windows with the included Dell factory settings?

  I hope that I won't bore you with my questions, and you'll be able to answer. It would be nice, because I'm not a pro from the computer, only an amateur.

  Thank you very much

  Vincent

  
  

• HD upgrade: Inspiron 9300 w/SATA?

  I have an Inspiron 9300 with a SATA drive (I think). I understand that other 9300's often have an EIDE drive and the BIOS limited HD size to 100 GB or 120 GB. I'm not sure that fully understand if the limit applies to these systems that have the SATA drives as well, or if there is a limit to these bodies. I'm a little fuzzy on the question if the system fully supports a SATA too. Consider the screenshot below of HD Tune... It seems to reference both 1 SATA and ATA-100. (I thought ATA-100 EIDE)

  Thanks for your help to clear up my confusion. I would switch to 250 GB or more.

  1. press the Home button twice quickly. You will see small glimpses of your applications recently used.
  2. slide to the left to find the application you want to close.
  3. push upward on the overview of the application to close.

  When you have done that reboot the device and test again the question:

  iOS: switch off and on (restart) and reset
  
  If the problem persists, save your device in iTunes, then restore it like new and verify that it works.

  If this is the case, restore your backup either check it still works and just reinstalled software or circumvent the problem in the backup file itself. Let us know how it goes! Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.
