The unwanted 'no speaker' icon on windows desktop and active

We have a large square icon 'no speaker' bounce around on our Office W7 and on top of active windows. The President works currently as are all audio components. Thinking that it was associated with the button "mute" on the keyboard, we changed keyboards but no luck. We looked at the parameters related to the speaker icon in the system tray and they all seem normal.  A reboot didn't help. We cycled headphones/microphones in the connector of the control panel front and which did not help. This makes us crazy!

Thank you.

I simply blow the computer and get a new one if this continues.

Yann,

No need to blow up the computer. Right after that I sent the last answer I looked down on the ground to find out my Cocker Spaniel Puppy sleeping on the remote control for my monitor. I picked it up and there was a 'Mute' with the same icon that I complained. I pressed the "Mute" button and the problem resolved!
Now I can sleep again.
That's the problem with dogs. Always play with our remotes.
Thank you
Mike

    The image (it back up to an external drive as full image) and reinstall Windows XP, update, drivers and everything.  Install any plugins that you NEED to do all that you see here that the bat hurt.  If the problem no longer exists, something has gone wrong with your system from before (corrupt files or your cleaning is not as complete as you think) and if the problem persists - probably something to do with the material. In all cases, you can return to the image if you wish.

    To the extent wherever it is the registry, I must ask, * how * you have come to this conclusion?  Not that I'm defending something - I was wondering what you did to decide who is not your registry database?  (Side: I agree with you.)

    That's what * I * would call cleaning and optimization of a Windows XP machine:

    Search for malware:

    Download, install, execute, update and perform analyses complete system with the two following applications:

    Remove anything they find. Reboot when necessary. (You can uninstall one or both when finished.)

    Search online with eSet Online Scanner.

    The less you have to run all the time, most things you want to run will perform:

    Use Autoruns to understand this all starts when your computer's / when you log in. Look for whatever it is you do not know using Google (or ask here.) You can hopefully figure out if there are things from when your computer does (or connect) you don't not need and then configure them (through their own built-in mechanisms is the preferred method) so they do not - start using your resources without reason.

    You can download and use Process Explorer to see exactly what is taking your time processor/CPU and memory. This can help you to identify applications that you might want to consider alternatives for and get rid of all together.

    You can free up disk space (will also help get rid of the things that you do not use) through the following steps:

    You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

    When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

    -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
    -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
    -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

    You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

    1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
    2. click on the System Restore tab.
    3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
    4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
    5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

    You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

    Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...

    -Open a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer.

    -Click on 'Delete the Cookies' (click OK)
    -Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use: ' something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (There may be many more now.)
    -Click OK.
    -Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).

  • U2415, around the gap between the Windows desktop and the edge of the monitor (bezel)

    Hello

    I have a Dell Ultrasharp U2415. I've read all the FAQS and I know I have to perform the SUBMISSION, but before doing so, I just want to know if it is normal to have a gap between the Windows desktop and the edge of the screen. If the Windows desktop is not covering or fill the entire screen. There all around the smaller than a 1/4 "gap between the edge of the windows desktop on the edge of the bezel of the monitor, and this model has almost no bezel. The graphics settings in Windows 10 are set to use the native resolution of 1920 x 1200 monitor. I tried with different computers (all windows 10), and the drivers are up to date. The monitor is connected via HDMI since I don't have portable computers not with DP interfaces. Laptop computers have Intel and ATI video cards. I have check the put option to scale on the video card software and it is set to 100%. So, is this gap normal? Is the edge Office Windows 10 supposed to touch the physical edge of monitors?  If the gap is not normal, I will perform the integrated test.

    TIA!

    Based on the YouTube comments, which seems to be normal. "But you must run the APPLICATION to see if the"smaller than 1/4"gap" appears. If Yes, then we can say that it is normal. If this is not the case, then some settings of the operating system is the culprit.

  • The FTP.EXE program included in Windows 7 and Server 2008 help the PASV Mode connection

    What is the FTP.EXE program included in Windows 7 and Server 2008 helps to connect in PASV Mode?

    I ask because I had a strange experience with her. First, I will mention that I did hours of research and found many articles stating that it does not work in XP/2000/Server 2003, but I found nothing for Windows 7 or Server 2008.

    I found some people who kept him at work and others who could not. I tried with Windows Firewall turned off and will be on and firewall rules created. Others said it is not supported and that I should use a third-party FTP client. I could make it work in Internet Explorer and Windows Explorer. I am well aware of the situation these options in Internet Explorer.

    Here are the best real, I could run from the command line on my PC Windows 7 (32 bit), but not on Server 2008 64 bit.

    Now, before someone comes and asks me to check the firewall, I want to mention that I tried more than five clients of third-party FTP Server 2008 and they all worked perfectly. In addition, from the same Server 2008 it worked fine in IE and explore.
