After installing XP Pro on my new Dell Inspiron 531S I've been having trouble getting sound. I installed the Realtek HD audio driver that came with the driver disk from Dell and there was no sound (I can't remember if i did this before or after the SP3 and other updates). I tried unistalling the Realtek drivers and installing them again with no success. I thought the soundcard was a dud. But then i tried an older version of the driver, 1.84, and disabling and enabling the sound device, and then the sound appeared. Success !

Then after I installed divx and some sound codecs for a troublesome .avi file the sound disappeared (Codec Pack All in 1 6.0.3.0 and AC3 filter pack). The retry of the older, and newer Realtek drivers didn't work this time around.

I'm hoping a kind soul out there knows where to point me. I thank you all in advance for taking the time to read this post and for any tips you might have.

Thanks for the post.
My problem isn't one of just changing my .pst file. It appears to be something about Outlook and IMAP folders. I cannot seem to get the main personal folders folder that outlook creates when it loads the first time. I have all my mail on the mail server, being imap, and all my other details in Plaxo (i highly recommend for outlook users) so i just removed all the email profiles and started again fresh.
What i want to achieve is the "personal folders" to be my "imap folder". It creates a new separate folder when i create an email account.
Maybe it's just outlooks way of dealing with IMAP folders.

Thanks for you time.

sorry correction...
old .pst file (obviously not new)

your probably going to have to call it something else too like Outlook2.pst unless your only looking to use that one.

Hello helpful people, thanks for looking at my thread.
I have recently ended my main email pop3 address and moved to a new email account using imap folders. I cannot seem to move my imap folder to be the personal folder. I have removed the email account that i originally had for the personal folder but the folder still remains. I would like to be able to save the .pst file for possible future reference and then replace the bones of that folder with the imap folders of my new account. This query is both for Outlook 2007 on Vista and Outlook 2003 on XP, as i have the same situation at home and at work.
Thanks for you time.

Thanks for you help everybody, i got it fixed. The vundo kept changing it's name and leaving a new file in the system32 directory that couldn't be deleted. It also changed the startup programs to include it's new version. I wish i read the post a little earlier as that tip for the 'add more files' would have helped. In the end i used VirtumundoBeGone.exe in safe mode which flagged it as .vir and then it could be deleted.

I'm 99% sure it's gone now. Fingers crossed.

Thanks for your time.

It is maybe coming back because it is hiding in your system restore area?

My system restore area was already disabled before this started. Is there a way to delete the system restore area totally?

Hi, i hope there is somebody that can help.
I'm having a lot of trouble with a Vundo Trojan. Symantec catches it when i log into Windows, but it doesn't seem to remove it. I've tried running full scan, 10 layers deep, in safe mode to no avail. I also tried the latest version of the VundoFix.exe from Symantec, which didn't work. My latest attempts at removal have been running another VundoFix by Arribune, version 6.3.23. This does find some rouge dll and ini files but the vundo keeps coming back.

I've also checked for all the registry keys that Symantec think might need delete but didn't find any. It does occasional put a new key in the software/windows/current version/run sections in the registry.

The main symptom is that i get loads of IE windows popping up with adverts, some of them with the WinAntiVirus 2007 ads in them. I think i may have more than one problem going on.

Thank you for your time reading this post.

Hi there

The fix i found that worksed was downloaded from Symantec responce FixVundo.exe. There appear to be TWO versions the one that worked is: 161928bytes created 13/10/05 13:30:23

I can send you the file if you wish.

Hi Norman, i noticed that you mentioned a certain version of the FixVundo.exe working for you in an old post. Do you still happen to have that available? I'm having trouble with a Vundo Trojan, and the Infostealer and WinVirus spyware at the moment.

Thanks for you time.

I use Delphi 7 on a daily basis, to program an imaging and data acquistion using National Instruments hardware. The application is for a biophotonics laboratory and will be used in conjuction with a ultra high speed laser and inverted olympus microscope.
I have learn't delphi from scratch in a year and have found it very useful overall. There will always be days when you head bangs against the wall irrespective of the what langauge it is that you can't understand.
Delphi 7 sometimes throws little hissy fits and i wonder if the new versions are more stable. I do love the debug functions and love using them when im not in over my head. It feels like there is always another level of knowledge that could be reached with more work.
I would like to learn C++. Does anybody have and recommendations of which app to use for that?
Thumbs up for Delphi.
Hopefully thumbs up for C++ once i have learn't that too.

Hi all, hope you're feeling groovy.

I have just installed windows XP Pro and all my programs i need and my network connections and etc etc. I noticed that apon startup, as windows logs on and loads up, one of the svchost.exe's takes up 100% of the cpu time for about 4 or 5 minutes.

I have updated and ran Ad-Aware Pro and SpyBot to no avail. My Symantec anti virus is updated often and runs periodically on its own.

Does anybody have any clues?
