not sure if you need a new hard drive ,did you try a win98 bootdisk ,if it detects drive , fdisk and create new partition and the reboot to win98 bootdisk,and format drive . not this will complete erase alll programs and data on the drive now ,if it isn't all ready gone .

when I was putting a MIcrophone wire in the driver, the driver deslocated.

does this mean ,when you plugged the mic into the sound card at the back of the computer the card disloacated from the motherboard PCI slot while the computer was running ,if so you may have damaged the sound card .

from utube site .

Why can't I hear the audio when I'm watching a video?
To make sure that you hear sound while watching videos, please check the volume controls on your computer. Also, be sure to increase the volume on other conventional video players on your computer, such as Real Player or Windows Media. This may have an effect on your computer's master volume levels. Next, check to see if your system meets these requirements for running the Video Viewer:

* Macromedia Flash Player 7.0+ plug-in
* Windows 2000 or higher with latest updates installed
* Mac OS X 10.3 or higher
* Firefox 1.1+, IE 5.0+, or Safari 1.0+
* Broadband connection with 500+ Kbps

try opening the case ,remove the ribbon cable from the drive and motherboard and reinstall it ,seen it work as it happens to mine from time to time ,you may have lost everything allready

Hello everybody, i'm portuguese but I hope you can understand my english...
Here's my problem, a few months ago, i used a Onboard audio driver, C-Media audio driver, but i had a lot of problems with that one so i bought another, it's a Creative SoundBlaster Live! 5.1. I uninstalled the other driver (c-media) and before WIndows XP booted I went to the Setup and disabled the C-media. WIndows started and I installed the new driver... It worked fine. But the driver wasn't properly "stuck" in the computer and when I was putting a MIcrophone wire in the driver, the driver deslocated. Big deal (i thought) but i tried to put it again and didn't worked, I uninstalled and re-installed the driver and it didn't work again, I even re-installed windows XP but the Computer doesn't detect the audio driver... Can anyone help me with this...please?

try removing the soundblaster card and reinstalling it ,make sure you replace the hold down screw for the card ,reboot windows it should detect it

so i have to switch the red thing in the back to make it restart and run.

the red thing ???
and it restarted and now runs or does it still not run[run usually means it loaded windows and works ]

ok well i was able to order some restore disks for my other computer. is it possible to switch the RAM out of that computer into the one I'm using now??

only if its the same type ,and i have know idea if they are the same ,as there are many different types ,and im not talking about brand name .

ok I know how to get the BIOS screen and all that but will changing the amount of RAM the video card uses cause any type of problems or for it's performance to degrade?

Yes ,the more ram the better you video will be .You should buy another 512 stick of ram and have it installed

So there's no way to like 'disbable' the shared memory featured or do something to get the RAM back? If it's not then I guess I'll just have to upgrade

You can change the amount of ram used by the video in the BIOS/Setup of the computer ,by entering the bios when you boot the computer .and making the desired change to the video section of the bios .

fat32 to run win98

I am critically low on disk space and for some reason bear share has grown to a huge number of mbs.

Imagin a file sharing program growning!! within the bearshare folder is a Shared folder where everything you download goes empty it .
also you may need to reinstall bearshare to uninstall it properly .

also WMP 11 isn't in the sp2 it contains wmp 10 ,11 is only bata so far .http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/default.mspx

As a last resort I tried wiping the hard-drive and yes, you guessed it. I got an error message LOL XD

Formatting Main Disk (C:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Windows cannot format this drive. Quit any disk utilities or nay other programs that are using this drive, and make sure that no window is displaying the contents of this drive. Then try formatting again.
___________________________________________________________

What should I do now? I'm stuck. :confused:

error messages sounds like you are trying to format from within windows .

it just shows the regular system specs with it saying i have 368 MB of RAM. How can I find out if I have onboard video?

right click on blank area of your desktop/properties /settings /advanced /adapter .it should tell you hetre if its onboard or internal type .and how much ram it is /or sharing

lol well turns out that the computer techs couldn't fix it so my dad bought a new one. I just have a quick question. On the box it says that this PC has 512 MB of RAM, but my system specs says I only have 368 MB of RAM. Anybody know why this is? And I just want to thank everybody who helped me through this situation.

when you right click on mycomputer go to properties ,what does it show there ,it could be you have onboard video, it will be sharing you ram.

If this doesn't fix the problem then I'm just gonna buy a new PC, which is the last thing I want to do.

LOL,worse case would be all you would need to do is buy a new hard drive !! and install windows on it .not a new computer

hi ,if your bios looks like this one .http://www.yoreparo.com/images/articulos/bios_html_m41f2952d.jpg ,, then when in the bios go to the one that reads pc health status

If its just a user password ,you can start computer in safe mode[hitting f8 on bootup]go to administrator and then go to users in control go to said user and change the password .

download and run ewido trial , run updates and scan computer

right click on the desktop/properties/screensavers/power in ther you will find power options ,or you may need to do it in the bios

Hi everybody,
I recently discovered a software that solves all your software problems for example say system crash,virus threats or data loss etc.in just 15 seconds.I was really amazed to see such type of software which gives me a complete pc protection.If you want to know more about the software then logonto www.mknenterprises.com or mail them for technical queries at mkn_enterprises@yahoo.com

I was really amazed to see that you are amazed to see that such programs excist !! the internet is full of them and has been for years .could you please tell us how much this program cost you .

I do think you have a kvm with a 1 and 2 marked on the main body ,make sure 1 is going to the your main computer ,i had one of those and made that error a few time when hooking it up.
now i have a IOGear and it doesn't make any difference what one is what !!!

you need to post it in the spyware ,viruses and other nasties section of hte fourm thanks ,
http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/forum1.html

Rusty?! Oil thyself! :D

The only obvious sign of nasties that I see in the log is:
O23 - Service: Microsoft Networks DN (msndn) - Unknown owner - C:\WINDOWS\msndn.exe (file missing)

msndn.exe is a component of one of the SDBOT variants. ewido can detect and clean the file (and it looks like it may have already), but you might need to manually disable and then delete the "Microsoft Networks DN" service.

yup ,put a bit of oil on and cleand it all thanks .!!

ok ,there gone but where ,just how did you accidentally delete them .did you look in the recycle bin ??

I have a wab and a wab~. Would I be right in thinking that I just need to copy the wab~ to wab and all will be well?

double click on the either one and see if they contain any web address first

is the computer time set to right time .

go to the virus and other nasties section of this fourm and get hijackthis program and post a hjt log for review

Quite accidentally, I have managed to delete my address book in Outlook 2002 (Win XP SP2). How can I get it back?

try a search for *.wab ,see if its still around ,if you find it then go to outlook and go to File ,import /addresssbook and direct it to the one you found .
Also did you check the recycle bin for it .

Hi ,whats wrong in this log ,please advise what i can remove .

in the fourm on that site they say there are problems such as these listed in one post .
All issues seem to be corrected now. For what they exactly were, here is a list.

1.) A server went down
2.) For many they could not reach their or others user pages (Internal Server Errors replaced these pages)
3.) Comments went missing on many things, deviations, replies to users, new posts, etc, for some this was temporary and for others this lasted several hours
4.) deviantWATCH erased

I apologize that i did not list these sooner, however errors were popping up so fast I could not keep track of all. :f

lol

the easiest thing to do is slave your drive in another working computer and remove data to the drive in other computer ,good to have burner in other computer.
i have used http://www.knoppix.org/ live cd and a thumb drive to remove small amounts of data ,you can also use it with a usb harddrive instead of thumb drive .

its been a few years ,befor xp even but i came across a site /magazine artical of a 14 yr old who had well over 6 ,someting in the high teens install and booting,and most were windows os,'s

found this ,
http://www.justlinux.com/forum/showthread.php?threadid=143973

dead or alive some laptops need a battery installed to start

And its not just AOL !!!!

Now if i'm correct I heared if it get's too hot it will shut off the computer. That's why I am not worried to much about the processor.

well you should be worried ,if you have been running it without a fan you may have fried the chip ,hard to say excatually what is wrong ,i suggest getting a computer repair tech to look at it for you

a simple adapter can be purchased at any electronics/computer store just tell them you want to convert large to mini pin

Damn. ok thanks. The only other os cd i have is NT4 workstation,

so,have you tried using it it is a windows os disk

unhook the unused drives until you get windows installed ,make sure you format the drive and start over with the install ,also you never did say if you put out the 40$ and bought the right ram!!

could be a power problem ,not getting enough power will cause this ,can you try another power supply,as for the overheating if there are settings in bios to shut down when it overheats it will shut down ,if not it will fry cpu before it shuts down !!

Well I thought it was so i hooked it up to my computer speaker

if the amp is hooked to a set of speakers it will work ,but not to the speaker of the computer to the soundcard where the computer speakers are plugged in,if you only have 3 plug in on the sound card you will need to unplug the computer speakers ,and using a audio cable from the computer to the amp plug it into the green conection of the siound card ,or if you have 4 plugs[5 and 1 's] on the card you can plug the cable into the black plug on the sound card ,you will need a cable to plug between the card and the reciever and you will need to make sure the computers speakers are set to 4 speakers or 5 and 1 in the sound settings in control panel /

Just an update. Apparently is was just the power supply. I purchased a new one, put it in and all is working fine now.

was just goint to say try a power supply !!

i understand now what you want to do !!
you need a win98 cd as said above and the key to the xp upgrade you have .so you can install the upgrade as a full version xp,without having win98 loaded on the computer .any win98 cd will do .it has nothing to do with the win98 key on the computer case

must be a really old laptop if it doesn't have a pcmcia slot .
