    These error messages are a pain in the neck to extract useful information.

    I suggest that you do a search online 'pilot audio free downloads' and find another audio program for your PC.

    If you find something that works for your satisfaction - remove your original pain in neck audio software and make sure you make your audio program newly found the 'default' device.

    Realtek and NVIDIA, for example get stuff good free audio driver.

    If the new program does not work - it would be a good indication that you have hardware on your PC, drive problems and no amount of play more with to try to correct the audio software will help. Period

  • I can not start the Windows Firewall service in Windows XP SP3

    I discovered this problem when I installed a new Brother MFC-7860 DW in my network. Although the computer can 'see' the machine, I can't print to it. The error coming from the troubleshooter has informed me that the firewall might be the problem. Now I find that I couldn't open the firewall. I tried the solutions in previous discussions. It seems that Windows Firewall is not yet installed on my machine even if the icons are in the control panel. When I tried MS Fixit for the firewall, it gave me an error and sent me to a web page that does not seem to address the situation. Help, please.

    (1) you have a third-party security software installed?
    This could be due to that... What are the analyses of different viruses that you already have... It may be a product of firewall or security of third parties that interfere the windows firewall, disable one by one your security scanners and try for windows firewall

    (2)if you do not have these installed firewall products, this could be due to malicious software or some other problem...

    If you have an antivirus up to date solution its definitions and do a full scan of the system...

  • Windows Firewall service does not start after the removal of Virus

    Hello

    I believe that my son's computer has been infected with the Trojan.Agent.Ed virus.  I managed to remove it (from different folders in AppData), but a few vestiges remain of course.  The windows firewall service does not start - it throws an exception to access denied on startup and when I try to start the service manually.
    I tried to run the Sysinternals Process Monitor to display all events ACCESS DENIED and checked the permissions on the key to registry MpsSvc in HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\services and compared to a corresponding Windows 7 machine.  I've even exported the key MpsSvc and sous-branches of the laptop in good health and tried to import into a failure, but the import does not seem to occur, even if it gives a message "imported".
    I also tried the troubleshooting of Windows Firewall that confusedly says:
    "Windows could not start the Windows Firewall... Not fixed
    "Set permissions for the registry keys involved"... succeeded
    "Windows Firewall service is not started. Not fixed
    "Starting the Firewall Service"... succeeded
    Any ideas would be most appreciated.
    Thank you.
