thanks, i dont have a credit card so ill just buy one from around here. its not that hard to install is it? i deleted most of my videos but i still dont have enough space. i might as well try and do the two seperate accounts things you said.(also my computer is cracked or something sinc ei have a folder called crack and it never updates)
err i’ve posted before about this
anytime i restart the computer the sound doesnt work
and i have to uninstall the drivers (audigy) and reinstall it for it to work
when it gets to the windows screen the start up sound file plays and cuts off
it worked fine before but after i reinstalled XP now it acts up
i’ve disabled the onboard sound on the BIOS screen but it still cuts off
HaiDong: If you just went from 2.8 to 3.2 that’s a big mistake…
Gasp: try driver cleaner if you can find it, i’m not sure if it will work for sound drivers though. Search for “KX audio drivers”. They’re custom drivers for the soundblaster series and worked well with my audigy 1 oem. If that still happens I’d rather just do a full format and see if that works.
Since you guys mentioned something other than Crucial…

This seems like a much better deal no? Half the price of that Ballistix I bought. I really should have got this RAM to begin with…but I figured I was paying for the “Crucial” name…stupid me…
VruS: I went from 2.4 to 2.8 just fine…but I imagine 2.8 to 3.2 is a much different jump.
At the moment, the computer is running more stable…I’m going to run memtest86 again and see what happens.
tried. no success. damn this. :annoy:
Another random Windows tip: Some insane percentage of crashes in Media Center for Vista are due to Voxware MetaSound corrupting memory*. If you have the file msms001.vwp on your system, that’s not a good thing. Either uninstall Voxware, rename msms001.vwp to msms001.vwp.bad, or rename the registry value “msacm.voxacm16” under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32
to “no.msacm.voxacm16”.
Note that Vista SP1 simply forbids this bad codec from loading, as it corrupts memory (which is why it causes so many crashes).
- Media Center is just a particularly good example of the damage. MetaSound can also break/disable Remote Desktop, Outlook, and pretty much anything else that tries to play back sound.
**: If you have content that uses MetaSound? Reencode it.
browsing porn safely. i currently have kaspersky internet suite. but i’m so afraid of infection i’m thinking of dling torrents on my psp, then just running them on pc.
should i avoid it all together? or is kaspersky enough?
If the other suggestions people replies with don’t work (and make sure to try them first, other than the full format; save that for after you’ve tried everything including my suggestion), it could be System Restore setting up restore points and constantly reverting to them. Try disabling System Restore after making your sound work again, then rebooting.
Again, try this only as a last resort, before a full format but after everything else.
Sometimes when I start my laptop the screen does not come online. Sometimes I unplug it, take out the battery, and let it sit -but even that’s not doing the trick anymore. It also started doing this on occasion when I bring it back up from standby. Is this a hardware/software error, or is there an internal problem with the circuitry and etc? There isn’t any model, all I know is the case type -it was privately built.
When I go to YOUTUBE, the videos don’t seem to work anymore [they were working yesterday]. It tells me to install the latest FLASH PLAYER, so I do, but afterwards, it still doesn’t work [it brings up the INSTALL THE LATEST FLASH PLAYER message again]. I have JAVA enabled too.
Any ideas?
I got a problem…
I have to re-install Yahoo all the time everytime I want to voice with my friend…yahoo works alright when I type chat, but not voice…odd, I’m using yahoo 8.1…any help
Quick cable internet question:
So the run of coaxial that the cable internet installer put in my house seven or so years ago is not long enough to stretch to the corner of my room that I want to move my cable modem and computer desk to. Can I just buy a regular coax coupler like from Radio Shack and a crimp myself a longer coax to extend it? Or is there some kind of special coaxial cable specifically for internet installations?
no, just use the radio shack one.
I’m actually having the same problem right now. Whenever I go to a blog, news site, etc. with an embedded YouTube video, though, they work fine. I still haven’t figured out what’s going on yet, I’ll post something up if I do.
Have you tried using the Adobe Flash Uninstaller and then reinstalling Flash?
I think I found out what the problem was [for me at least]. I was using the FireFox add-on No Script. After I disabled it, YouTube was working fine again. I guess one of the updates that No Script had must’ve done something about the videos playing through YouTube [even after I gave YouTube clearance though the options]. If your using it too, I think if you disable it, videos should work fine.
Are you sure you’re allowing all javascript and not some from YouTube? I found out that YouTube directs to another site for their video files now. I had to allow both YouTube and this other site, ytimg.com. Flash often works better with IE than FF, in my opinion. Try to see if it’s that’s the case, not the actual install of Flash, but the browser itself.
No Script disables all Javascript. :tup:
Anyone know how to disable WinXP SP2’s auto-hardware driver installation?
I have a Radeon video card and it’s only accepting the drivers that it gets from Microsoft auto-update although when it does, the screen is choppy when it scrolls and I can’t play any games because it says 3D acceleration is disabled (System Manager says its using Radeon drivers but it feels like its just using software drivers). When I try to install the latest or old drivers straight from ATI’s site, it hangs on next boot and then when I reset it auto-matically rolls back to the driver it downloaded via Windows auto-update.
Try this: Go to…
“Start” menu > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services > Navigate and double-click on “Plug and Play” > Under “Startup Type”, select the “Disabled” option > OK.
I hope that helps…
