Link And Sound Device Not Working
Jul 29, 2009
Few days back, I was installing/uninstalling some programs. I don't know what went wrong, suddenly I found the links in "Computer" are not working. When I open "My Computer" ("Computer" in Vista), all the links like "Device Manager", "Remote Settings" etc are not working. It says for "Device Manager" - "Windows cannot find '%SystemRoot%\system32devmgmt.msc". However, if I run the same command from a DOS window, it exists. This is same for all the other links. My sound icon in the task bar also marked a permanent red cross. If I open Volume Mixer, it says - No audio device found. But I can still hear sound. I don't know what to do.

I know this is a repetitive topic, but I can not seem to figure this one out. It is a HP Laptop DV9815nr. I do not know much about it as it is not mine, but the problem is the audio was cutting out and now there is nothing. The computer is not recognizing any type of audio device installed. Even in Device Manager, there is no option for Sound, game and controllers. I have tried downloading the driver and installing, but no luck there.

Can not get my HP 7400 scanner to work after upgrading to Vista Ultimate 32 bit. Not the hardware - works fine under XP pro using same hardware configuration. Did a clean install, installed motherboard BIOS updates, scanner BIOS updates, Vista updates and the correct driver from HP. The scanner installed and Device Manager says device is working properly. When I try to scan, scanner initializes, starts to scan then locks up. Then can no longer be seen. ASUS M2N-E motherboard with AMD dual core. Other than that Vista works OK with the rest of my system

Ok so for a few days now my audio has not been working, I use it quite frequently with itunes and dvds etc but not ever very loudly. I've been on my laptop's website and have tried everything they've suggested except for system restore, and nothing has worked. I've made sure my computer is completely updated, I have downloaded the newest update of the audio driver from the website, and still no luck. In Device Manager it says everything is working, I have no error signs either. The mixer picks up the sounds when I test for it, I just can't hear it! It doesn't work with headphones either, although when I plug my headphones in and pull the socket in and out a little bit I can hear crackles in the headphones.

Im using new DELL studio 1535. Sometimes when I open laptop, it says sound device is not connected and there will not be any sound. But, If we have restarted PC, mostly the problem solved for that time. some times, when I use some audio files, sound crackles and stop working, windows media player error code C00D11B1 appears and sound has gone untill it is restarted. Sometimes, automatically sound goes and it should be restarted to solve the problem! I hav checked device manager, and it says all the sound devices are working properly..

Is there any possibility of changing the sound device programatically in Windows 7? Or atleast to make the device as the default sound device during installation? In Vista, I could use SetupPreferredAudioDevice key in INF file to make it as default at the time of installation, but I could see that this key is no more valid in Windows 7. Is there any alternative for this?

I've just setup a new computer with vista but after installing, vista didn't detect any sound device. I have an Asus Rampage II extreme board with the supreme fx audio module installed. HD sound is also activated in the BIOS.

I just installed SP1 on my Home Premium 64bit. After installing it, all my sound is gone. I checked the Help page about this subject, and found out that the drivers or my "PnP Audio Device" are not up to date (there is a yellow triangle with !-mark in front of it). I tried to update them via Device Manager, but it didn't work.

I have always been able to hit a link in an email and get to another email from that link. Now I can't. Has something been corrupted or changed in my windows mail? I have gone to tools and don't see anything that pertains.

When I post a question on a newsgroup and get an email stating that I have a response and I click on the "read and rate the response" link I get a new Internet Explorer window that remains blank. It also has the word "Done" in the lower left corner. Does anyone know why? Is this a new problem in Vista? They seem to keep poping up.

This has been happening for the past three days. I just recently bought a laptop, the Toshiba Satellite A305-S6898, with Intel® WiFi Link 5100. I would be just surfing on the internet and then the WiFi link would randomly just stop working. I would go to the available connections window, and the network i'm connected to would say 'Connected with limited connectivity', and then it would disconnect and then it would not be able to detect any networks, even though it previously did before. I know it's not a network problem because the same problem occured on two different networks I have set up in two different places. The device manager does not report anything wrong with it, and I did not randomly turn off the wifi for any reason. I would have to reset my laptop in order to fix the problem......

I just got a new computer with 64-bit Vista Home Premium, and am having some issues with devices. When I connected my Lexmark X6100 printer, Vista recognized it and even took me to the website to download drivers, which I then installed. when I bring up Printers in Control Panel, the Lexmark is not listed. The X6100 also includes a scanner which again Vista found, but it directed me to the same download as for the printer (not surprising). There is an entry for the Lexmark X6100 in my Start Menu, but the only option there is to uninstall the software.
My old computer ran XP Pro and the Lexmark worked perfectly there. There was even an icon in the system tray that appeared at startup. A second issue has arisen with my webcam, a Logitech Quickcam Pro 5000, which Vista also recognized, and there was a prompt which looked as though it was from the Logitech driver asking for a disk which I did not provide, because I didn't think it was necessary. The cam also worked well under XP without any additional software installation.
Vista's Device Manager reports that both devices are working properly, but I am unable to access either of them. I also installed a program called PDF Factory which I used as my default printer on my old computer, and it's working just fine - and it shows up in my Printer panel.

I have a Dell XPS M1330 laptop with Dell TrueMobile 355 Bluetooth. Recently my computer has had problems with detecting any Bluetooth device I've tried to connect. I was wondering if anyone knew what I should do. The only thing I've tried is uninstalling and reinstalling all the drivers

I used to be able to put a CD in my CD drive and upload the music to my itunes program. But, recently, when I put a CD in my drive, nothing happens at all. So, I went into the device manager and there is a message that says: "Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)"

I've been getting the IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL BSOD for the last couple weeks. Lately it's down to a couple times per hour. horrible.error Description: Windows detected a new device attached to your computer, but could not find the driver software it needs to make the device usable. Each device manufacturer typically includes driver software of a CD that comes with the device, or as a download from its website. The hardware ID of your device is ACPIATK0110. the "ACPIATK0110" device seems to be my ASUS motherboard (ASUS M2A-VM AM2 AMD 690G Micro ATX AMD Motherboard). It was a home-built computer, so I still have the disc (But it was built properly, I've had it 2 years and this is the first problem). Anywho, I ran the disc to update the drivers... it said the drivers were installed... maybe 45 minutes later, it crashed. I went to the ASUS web site to get the most up-to-date drivers... crashed again within an hour.
So, considering that this happens after an hour or so of use (not during start up), on a system that's been running fine for quite some time... can it be anything other than my motherboard just being fried? I thought about throwing out a reformat just in case... but of course I can find my legit windows XP disc... but no sign of the CD key that makes it worth anything. (The person who built the computer put Vista on it, and I can't get ahold of him for the CD key he used... he wisely didn't give it to me, because I'd have lost it anyway).

The Microsoft 6to4 adapter showed in the device manager that it was not working properly. If you look at yours it may show the same. I think I disabled it trying to update it. This was before I found this short sweet article from Microsoft. Does anyone know if I will experience problems in the future when this new technology gets more prevalent? If so, how do I get it back. I followed the instructions that a vista pro gave me to fix this problem and it shows in the reliability monitor that it was installed...but it is not showing int he device manager. Would it be installed but not show on the device manager?

Back in June I installed Vista onto my machine (prior to this I ran xp for 3 years and the sound worked). I was ok with the sound not working since I had a bluetooth headset which worked fine...It's starting to get annoying now. I have a gigabyte motherboard with AC'97 (ALC850 codec) on board sound card. The driver is up to date. I have the volume icon, and it shows my speakers in the play back device section. When I play an audio file, the green bar lights up on the speaker icon.
I can't find the thread now but I did try the suggestion of opening up the playback devices, right clicking in an empty area and showing all disabled devices...there wasn't any devices hidden. Hopefully I provided enough information, if not please ask. I really don't want to buy a sound card but it's looking like I might not have a choice.

I installed the freshest realtek drivers to go with my IP35 motherboard and my Logitech x-530 5.1 surround still wont play the center or subwolfer speakers. In Vista-64s audio settings I played around with different configurations and did wire re-assigning that didn't work either, it seems people are having similar problems. Anyone have a fix for this?

While trying to uninstall Comodo, I had an error and the computer froze. I shut it off and it wouldn't boot - not even in Safe Mode. So I used ERUNT to fix the Registry from a command prompt. Unfortunately, the latest ERUNT file was corrupted - so I had to go back about a week. The computer then booted, but I found many changes in some of my data and settings. Also, I cannot get the sound to work. I again used ERUNT from Windows with the same backup I used from the command prompt. All indications on the computer indicate that the sound is working. But when I try to test the speakers and microphone, I get a message which says there is no sound. I have uninstalled the two sound items in Device Manager and used find hardware to reinstall them. I even reinstalled the drivers. Device Manager says there is no problem with the sound items and they say they are working properly.
