What happened to the sound in xp after a windows update

so I'm not the only one with this problem. about two or three weeks, I woke up one day and grew up my computer after hibernation, and he was asked to restart my windows xp system to complete an update of windows. After that I did, my sound disappeared completely. the volume has disappeared from the bar of tasks and in the Panel of control under sounds and audio devices, it says no audio device, but the audio device is there and the driver is as well. I did some tests to try to understand why he did this. first of all, I uninstalled the audio card in the Device Manager and reinstalled realtek. When I did, a lot of drivers began to appear that I've never seen before who were related to windows and they had yellow! "s next to them. After trying several versions realtek sound drivers for my card, I decided to load my fedora linux OS to see if it was a bad sound card, but the material works very well under linux. I went back to xp and used a program called SiSoftware Sandra and let it scan my system. in the results, I was getting errors with DirectX and DirectSound, but I could not understand what it meant. I also used the DirectX dignostic tool which also gave an error when testing the sound with it. so I am almost sure, this problem was caused by something that microsoft made in one of their latest updates for windows xp. That's the only explanation logical I can come up with because it is not a hardware problem and drivers are not the problem either. My question is how can this be brought to the attention of microsoft in order to examine the question and to fix. Oh and I forgot to mention that I tried to reinstall DirectX as well, but still no luck. I guess that I'll stick to fedora until microsoft solves this problem.

OK, I wanted to just update this thread with my last State on my problem. I tried everything that I could think of to try and fix my sound. I used a lot of different antivirus programs to see if I could find an infection as the cause. while I found some infections, they do not seem that cause problems. as a last resort, I backed up all my data and programs on an external hard drive and did a complete reformat and install windows xp. While the sound does not work at first, install the right driver for my sound card did the trick after the new installation of xp. so I didn't really want to resort to do a full reformat because of how long it would take, but he turns out to be the only solution to my problem. now, I just spend a good all by restoring all my data and programs, but, overall, it is useful to have her back. What a strange question however. I can't say I ran across that one before and I am not sure what caused it, but I think that it is a corruption in DirectX that I couldn't fix. Well, you live and you learn. so if anyone has a similar question to mine, you may need to do the same thing, I did to solve the problem and make a complete reformat and install. don't forget to backup your data if you do not want to lose well

  • What happened to the button ' Up a folder "in Windows Explorer?

    Starting with Windows Vista, the button "level up a folder" was deleted!  I found this button VERY useful and I am VERY disappointed he isn't there anymore... This has considerably slowed my production speed!

    The next image in the Windows XP Explorer, near the top right of the ' Previous/next' buttons and the button 'Search', you see a folder with a green arrow pointing up.  Clicking this button makes the Windows Explorer to go "to the top level of a folder" lead you to the folder parent from your current location:
    In the next image in the Explorer of Windows 7, you can see the button "level up a folder" has been removed:
    Is it at all possible to return this button please?  This will greatly improve my production speed...
    (Whenever I click on a 'Find a file' button in Windows 7 Explorer starts to the last folder I was watching and I often just want to go 1 or 2 levels higher than that, records but the only way to get that start completely at the beginning of the C: drive and go through all the files to get there, which can become VERY tedious because I find myself browsing for files 50 times / day simply because) the button ' up a folder "is missing...)

    When they returned to Windows 8. I have not seen! It would be great!

    I have Windows 8.1 and it's there.  8.1 is free if you have 8.  Just Google it. :)

    [Moved from comments]

    Simple!

    You get a BIGGER hard drive.

    The 'norm' for laptops these days is at least 500 GIGs.

    Which is the same amount that I have in my table.

    2 x 250 GB.

    I have XP Pro on one single, Windows 7, on the other. (And each of them uses ONLY about HALF of these hard drives!)

    In a month or two, I'll upgrade to 2 x 1 terabyte hard drives. sounds a little one 'kill too much', I know, but hey, my computer IS able to be updated that he got so far it?

    Yours is in need of an upgrade too, suggest that there is, to solve your problem!

  • Windows XP: I have 448 MB of RAM available. What happened to the 64 MB of RAM lack and how can I solve this problem. Thank you

    I am trying to install application constant guard Internet Security of Comcast.  After trying to download and install the product, I get and RAM error message indicating I need 512 MB of RAM to install this product, and I only have 448 MB of RAM available.  What happened to the 64 MB of RAM lack and how can I solve this problem.  Thank you

    The only way to see more of RAM is to install a graphics card and disable the onboard graphics of your motherboard. If you do this, you should be able to see all the 512 MB of it.

    That being said, I will repeat what I said before...
    You can always buy more RAM and install it on your motherboard. Go to crucial.com for more information.
    In addition, you should review install 'Internet Security' application or suite. They are not necessary (you can easily configure Windows so that it is very safe) and they often ruin the performance of a PC.
