I would try another hard drive, if you've gotten your data off of the old one, if your blue screens continue after a reformat. If a new drive doesn't work (still blue screening), try taking out all...

Another place to find the utility:
http://download.beelink.com.cn/lib/remove11.zip (http://download.beelink.com.cn/lib/remove11.zip)

Yes, http://www.syspro.i12.com/auto/dlremove11.htm has the same program as the previous link had before. Thanks for popping in that link :)

That link will let you download the program, but it is...

Glad you were able to get it back. I did forget to mention that with some sound drivers, it may require a reboot for it to fully take after you get the "Multimedia Audio Controller" back in the...

The "Sounds and Audio Devices" section in the Control Panel isn't where you want to go. You want to look in the Device Manager (right-click "My Computer" and hit Manage, then Device Manager). If...

The whole reason it gets identified as C-Media Audio is because, and this is just my belief, but I think either someone at Microsoft or whomever created the original Realtek AC'97/Avance 97 sound...

To find out what onboard sound device you have:

If it is a brand-name computer (i.e. Dell, HP, etc.) - I would advise going to the company's website under their support section, looking up your...

s046134, if you unzip your files, if you find a setup.exe, run that. If you just have an .inf file with some .dll files or something with no EXEs, then go to the Control Panel and step through the...

You aren't having a "boot sector" issue, and I doubt it has to do with having 2 hard drives or anything to do with any hardware configuration other than that relating to sound, as long as no...

If you have the SP2 upgrade CD from Microsoft (that you can order for free off their site if you dig deep enough), or are installing from scratch with a full (not just upgrade) XP SP2 installation...

Take a look at this: ...

Maybe you could check your sound scheme to make sure there is a logon and logoff sound selected for your profile. Long shot, but good to check: Control Panel, Sounds and Audio Devices, Sounds tab. ...

Important files? They get re-installed when you run the Realtek AC'97 Audio installer.

If you can't get it working under the logon user that had it mess up as, you probably don't have the right...

No - she actually DID lose the programs after installing SP2 - she said she had to copy them from a collegue's computer to put them back on. Not trying to be a smart @$$ or insulting, I just didn't...

Not a problem, thanks for the praise. I just hope you uninstalled the C-Media driver and re-installed your old one and did a reboot to be sure C-Media didn't come back - I thought I had beat this...

Just wanted to comment on that one post a few posts back, referencing a post that referenced an Experts-Exchange solution, for Win98. The solution on that site was to figure out your sound card...

Couldn't have said it better myself.

I will agree that much, if not all, of what you said, catch, was stuff us as admins were not taught in our bachelor's or MCSA courses and would have to do...

Please tell me what ATI card and Catalyst version you are using. If you're using a Radeon AIW 9200, maybe I can do as you suggest so I can get it to work if you could tell me what Catalyst version...

I don't know what version ZoneAlarm is at now, but according to a link posted earlier in this thread, versions 3.7 - 5.0.590 are not a good idea with SP2:
...

You may ask, if the entries are mostly back but you have the "Multimedia Audio Driver" now, what the point was of removing the registry entries in the first place if you were just going to have to...

Quick summary:

- Delete the cmaudio string from
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run. This will get rid of the error on startup, but only because you're taking the...

I'm glad to hear I helped someone out, and for the good comments. I'm just glad, as well, that I was able to get it working again for myself! Of course it's always good to share the wealth. Keep...

Misinformed? How about the fact I have seen things firsthand? Can you say that you are an administrator of a network that has seen such things as non-application oriented scripts that will run...

FIXED - for both users! But you guys aren't gonna like it 'cause I think I got real lucky.

OK, made sure all files were deleted and registry entries gone, right? Do the Device Manager "Scan for...

Obviously check to see if cmicnfg.cpl is in C:\Windows\System32 and C:\Windows\LastGood, and delete it if it is. I deleted everything in C:\Windows\System32\ReinstallBackups, but to no avail. Sound...

Forgot to mention: Must delete cmuda.dll from C:\Windows\System32\drivers as well. And that was supposed to be Cmcpls in the other post for the "Cpls" section, not CMCPlus - wrote that kinda...

Now that I think about it this sounds like your issue. Damn I feel dumb. Good job figuring that out, dewman - I forgot they made upgrade discs to 2000 instead of just full versions.

There is no amount of application security, NT or otherwise, that will prevent you from receiving viruses on a Windows machine. They come as an attachment some people actually inadvertently run, or...

So now you can't access the files at all? When do you get the explorer.exe error? On log-in? If you open a folder?

You can do a Ctrl+Alt+Del and look in the Task Manager, see what else is...

Have you tried Safe Mode, Safe Mode with networking, or Enable VGA Mode on the F8 menu yet? If it still blue screens after resetting CMOS (remove the power cord and motherboard battery for a while,...

I'm assuming that you are booting to the Windows 2000 CD to install it? Are there any RAID drivers involved or is it a straight-forward install?

If this is a straight-forward install and you were...

Well, the Add/Remove Programs tool is VERY important if the programs you install don't have an uninstall link.

But I wanted to post this much - I had an issue on a person's computer similar to...

I would replace the $10 cable before making any grand assumptions. If there is feedback from a shorted IDE ribbon cable, it could cause the CD-ROM to send such a "damaged" signal and any time a...

Start -> Run -> type msconfig

Go to the startup tab. Take checks out of the boxes for stuff you don't need/want to start up with your computer. You might find there's some spyware/adware in...

This was an error I found on my computer that I did a search on the web for a quick and easy fix for. I found this forum that had my error and symptoms, but found no one had a solution. The thread...

The fact that you're using a hub instead of a router could be an issue in and of itself, but for a separate reason than file sharing, so for the sake of argument I'll assume that you have internet...

You can't do that for your My Computer, My Network Places, or Recycle Bin icons like I think the poster was originally referring to, they don't have a "Properties" that contain the customize page/tab...

I do agree with the other guy, though, you are better off getting this to work with Apache being you have the software, and doing it the way the manufacturer's would support so as to not have them go...

There is the fact that if your computer ever gets used by someone else, you will log them out if you connect with Remote Desktop, and if they are an administrator they can log you BACK out and log...
