After launcing the game my Windows crashes all the programs and windows ( volume control ) that are related to sound as i try to edit or change anything ( change volume etc ). And i hear no sound from anything, only after i restart the computer ( i then hear "ssssss" noise instead of nothing ).
View 1 RepliesI've recently reinstalled Windows 7 (32-bit Ultimate). It seems there is some problem with 3D stuff on any OS I try. After the setup, when it was checking the video performance it crashed as well. And now every time I try to run that program which gives you system's rating in Windows 7 it crashes within a few seconds (on Running Direct3D Aero Assessment). If I try to play any games it crashes almost immediately as well but other than that everything seems to be working perfectly fine. I can watch movies and browse the internet on Chrome for hours (weirdly it crashes on Firefox after some time...) I had the same problem on Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and Windows Vista Home Premium x32 as well... And all Event Viewer is showing is that ID 41 Error which doesn't really tell anything. :/ Before all these Vista and Windows 7 installations I used Windows XP and it seemed to be working pretty good but it would crash on certain games too.
I've tried changing back to XP but everytime I try to install it I get a BSOD telling me to run checkdisk (I've used 2 different CDs to try and install it because I thought maybe some files on my CD were corrupt or something but I got the same BSOD). I ran chkdsk and it didn't find any problems. I'm not really good with computers scomputer specs:Intel Core Duo 2.20GhzATI Mobility Radeon HD 45704GB RAMWindows 7 Ultimate 32-Bit
My PC has a problem where it starts to lag, the mouse moves slowly and sound is crackly but before i can do anything it crashes the I have to unplug it and start again. What is this? It is very annoying when im in the middle of something.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI just recently upgraded to Windows 7 from Vista. Before upgrading, everything was fine. Now, I have a rather annoying sound problem. When I play anything that uses flash, the program will freeze up and have to be ended. After this point, the sound on my computer is completely gone until I restart the system. Additionally, I cannot access the volume control panel or anything that deals with the sound settings after this particular event occurs. I've been doing a little bit of research, and it sounds like the IDT sound codec is the problem. I followed the instructions on this link to a point. Fixing Flash Crashes after Windows 7 Upgrade: IDT Sound Codec Conflicts with Flash Drivers Causing Crashes |[URL] Here are the instructions that it gives: Disabling Software at Boot:
Click on the Start button, and then click 'Run...'In the Run window, type msconfig and click 'OK'.Go to the 'Startup' tab and locate the Startup Item named IDT PC Audio by IDT, Inc.Uncheck the IDT PC Audio item.Click 'Apply', and then click 'OK'.Reboot the laptop for the change to take effect.
Disabling Enhancements:Click on the Start button, then click Control Panel, and click 'Sound' from the context menu.Highlight 'Speakers / Headphones' from the list of playback devices, then click on the 'Properties' button.Go to the 'Enhancements' tab, and check the checkbox labeled 'Disable all enhancements'.Click 'Apply', and then click 'OK'.Highlight 'Independent (R.T.C.) Headphones' from the list of playback devices, then click on the 'Properties' button.Go to the 'Effects' tab, and check the checkbox labels 'Disable System Effects'.Click 'Apply', and then click 'OK'.Click 'OK'.
My problem with following these instructions is that I do not have 'Independent (R.T.C.) Headphones' in the list of playback devices. The four playback devices that I have listed are 'Digital Output Device (HDMI)', 'Speakers and Dual Headphones','Independent Dual Headphones' and 'SPDIF (Digital Out via HP Dock)'. That being the case, I cannot disable the last portion of the IDT sound codec. As a result, my problem persists. I was wondering if anyone knows how to get around this. Would it be wise to just uninstall the idt sound codec altogether? My computer is the HP Pavillion dv7-2185dx Entertainment Notebook PC?
the sound crashes randomly, and any videos also start lagging, (both Internet videos and windows media player videos,) at the same time. it occurs any time, sometimes half an hour from when i started the computer, sometimes after 6+ hours. the only thing that solves the problem is to reboot the computer. i installed a clean install of windows, but it still crashes. the sound works fine when it's not crashed. i always have conversations in skype, maybe that has something to do with it?

I recently ran a program called RegOwnit.exe on my windows registry to take ownership of the registry. But before I did that I made a backup copy of the registry by selecting Export and All from RegEdit.exe and saving a file called backup.reg. Since then I've been having issues such as no sound, I can't open "My Computer", "Control Panel", "My Documents", "Recycle Bin" When I try to I get an error message stating "there is not enough free memory to run this program."So I tried restoring the backup I made of the registry by going to Import and selecting backup.reg from there. But nothing changes in the registry at all. I just get various error messages each time I do that such as. "Cannot import C:UsersOwnerDesktopackup.reg: Not all data was successfully written to the registry. Some keys are open by the system or other processes." I've even tried doing it in Safe Mode.So my next guess I thought was to run System Restore but that hangs and never completes. The first time it ran I let it sit for 12 hours before I realized it was never going to finish. I've tried running it several more times since then, even selecting older restore points but it always hangs and I end up sitting here waiting for it to complete but it never does.I have Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit My computer is a HP Pavilion dv4 Notebook PC with 4 GB RAM and 76GB free space on Drive C. Intel Core processor. I don't have any usual configuration. It's practically new.I found someone else with the same problem on here, and one thing I was able to fix was by following the directions at the thread at
[url]...
Someone said to make sure All Users has permission to access the registry: Quote: Make sure that System and Users (and just to make sure maybe Administrators and your account name too) have more or less unrestricted access to the registry hive"HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT" So I added Users to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT and now I can open My Computer and Control Panel etc, but I still have no sound. In fact when I try to put on an MP3 I get an error that says "Your soundcard driver does not support this type of sample format."What I'd really like to do is run system restore or be allowed to import my full backup of the registry to the point before all of this happened. What's the point of having a tool for backing up the registry and making restore points if you can't roll back to them?
I have several internal card readers for my desktop computer. Two are Rosewill brand from NewEgg and one is RocketFish from BestBuy. They are all of the type that read SDHC, CF and a host of other cards and also have a USB port for a flash drive. They all connect to main board dual-port headers.For no reason apparent to me, the card readers still read USB flash drives but do not even acknowledge any flash memory cards at all in any manner. It is as though I did not insert one at all. I researched the 'net and found some things to try (registry edits, scanning for malware, disconnecting the power cord for several hours, etc.etc.); but, after several hours of troubleshooting, I decided I had three bad card readers. In a last act of desperation, I restored the OS to an Acronis image I made several months back and now the card readers function flawlessly,So, where in Windows 7 can I begin to look for a cause/solution to this kind of problem if it happens again? It probably will happen again as I already have an XP system where the problem has popped up with these same card readers.Additional Info: I have an external reader that functioned fine on the same systems on which the internal readers did not work.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI recently build a new Sandy Bridge computer to replace an older Conroe system. The new build retained the SSD (OS and programs) drive and the SATA data drives along with the existing Windows 7/64HP installation.I built an Asus P8Z68V Pro with an Intel i5-2500k and DDR3-1333 ram (12GB). I did not reinstall Windows 7/64HP. I had to tweak a few programs that had an issue with my substitute hardware, but otherwise it seems to run fine.However, I've had some crazy BSODs that seem to tie into grmnusb.sys. Yesterday I had 3 BSODs in a row that would happen as soon as I plugged in my Garmin Edge 305. The first happened while I was OCed. I rebooted and changed to default BIOS settings. Another BSOD when I reconnected the 305. So I uninstalled the Garmin USB driver and rebooted. Another BSOD when I connected the 305.I finally just left the Edge 305 connected and rebooted the computer and it came up ok and let me access the data on the device in a normal manner. And yet on the same system, I've had a number of times I've plugged the Garmin device in with no issues at all.When I first built the box (a couple of weeks ago) I had a BSOD from the Edge 305 connection, again with the gmnusb.sys tie-in. I rebooted, uninstalled the affected usb driver and all was ok for a time. And then the Garmin didn't want to connect so I re-installed the Garmin usb driver and all was well for a time.. and then, here we go again.Before I go though the routine of uploading the BSOD jcgriff zip files, I want to see if this is a known issue related to Z68 boards, or perhaps because I didn't re-install Windows 7 for the new hardware or if it's because computers just don't like me for some reason.

I've been having some serious trouble with my computer and CTD's and BSOD's related to what im fairly certain is something to do with my graphics card.
Long story short I've had repeated Service Exception BSOD'd for the past 2-3 weeks. In that amount of time I've run memtest to see if maybe my memory was to blame but that turned up nothing. I used driver sweeper to remove my nvidia drivers and put a fresh install on, and yet it still crashes.
I'm at my wits end here, normally its simply a matter of bad memory or a bad driver, but with this I have no clue what to do.
my computer is tweaking out, what usually happens is I will turn my computer on and it will load fine, connect to the internet fine and then i can do anything that is non internet related just fine, then I will start browsing the internet and it freezes...
another common thing for it do is it will start up and not have an internet connection and will not even display my usual home connection...then when i go to restart the computer it will automatically freeze...
it will also freeze say if i start up any game related to the internet, at first i thought it might be a virus but i have scanned with microsoft security essentials many times and nothing... i think my motherboard might be fried but i am not sure
i recently installed diablo 3, and in the process of installing i somehow managed to pin a shortcut to my taskbar. this shortcut says "Battle.net Account Management". the shortcut works, and is actually a link to the battle.net login screen.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI bought a new computer in Feb 2012 and the people that I bought it from put it together and I installed Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. Within the first week I was getting lots of random blue screens but being busy I couldn't deal with it and after the first week, then it was fine for about 2 months. I still have it under warranty.The blue screens were getting much more frequent, did memtest86 and had TONS of errors and took it in they said the ram was bad so they took out the bad ram and I've got it running now still with 8gigs.Took it home and every couple of days or hours or weeks I would get a blue screen related to memory such as MEMORY_MANAGEMENT or PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA etc. The people I purchased it from told me that they wouldn't look at it again until I've reinstalled Windows again from scratch. So I did. Same thing, random blue screens usually pointing to memory and at random times too (sometimes running a lot of things, other times it's been idle). I do shut my computer down every night.I decided to do another memtest86 and this time the memory seemed fine. Did chkdsk and it was fine. The people that I bought the computer from then took it back, looked at it for a day and said it must be the mouse, ethernet, power, keyboard, monitor, printer or something connected and that they wouldn't look at it until I'd swapped all that stuff.So I bought new speakers, new mouse, disconnected printer, new cables and a new ethernet cord (didn't buy a new monitor). Still getting random blue screens. I don't think it's related to a piece of hardware as I am running them all on another Windows 7 Pro 64 bit machine with no issues but just to be safe I swapped them all (except monitor).

For instance let's say I've got two Word files open side by side. If I go to a maximized Google window to look something up now I have to click on both word files separately.

Well this is my first post on the forum & immedially it is a blue screen post. Not entirely unexplainable since I was able to reproduce it and solve it!
Issue: Bluescreen when accessing redirected "my documents" folder.
Involved machines:
Windows 2008 server environment. The fileserver runs on a perc 5/i in RAID 5. The disc is configured as GPT as it is larger then 2 TB. Folder redirection is configured by a GPO towards the fileserver. Domain is running on windows 2008 functional level.
Test PC running Windows 7.
Cause & solution:
Well, basicly I could reproduce the bluescreen occuring each time I worked with files. I configured the initial rights on the fileserver according to this guide: How To Configure Folder Redirection (I keep forgetting what rights are needed "DUH")
What did happen to cause this issue? Well, I wanted to place data in the redirected folders to play around with. As I was currently working on the FS at that time I wanted to do it directly. Access was denied on the "my documents" of the test folder. So I took ownership... Apperantly the folders created by "folder redirection" differ quite a bit from 2003. I lost all rights on the folder. No biggie I figured, I just add the user to the ACL with full rights.
This is the moment I started to get the bluescreens on the Windows 7 test machine. And after a while it dawned upon me that the change of rights must have been the cause of it!
I disabled redirection of the my docs in the GPO, made sure the client machine was logged off, renamed the folder by adding .old, enabled the redirection again and logged in on the client machine.
I understand that taking ownership of the folder f*cked up the rights & windows needs these rights to work properly. It just seems that getting a bluescreen is a bit over the top.
I'm getting some occasional flickering in Windows 7 Media Center 64-bit. The flickering only occurs when the NVIDIA control panel is set to control video color settings and Dynamic Range is set to Full (0-255). This setting can be found as such:
NVIDIA Control Panel->Video & Television->Adjust video color settings->With the NVIDIA settings->Advanced->Dynamic Range->Full (0-255).
Without this setting, the drivers apparently default to the limited (16-235) color range, which results in noticeably washed out video with poor contrast and incorrect black/white levels. The flickering appears to be between the full and limited ranges, as if the drivers are doing one thing and the player doing another. Or something.
Also what is strange is that it doesn't happen all the time. Most often it occurs during commercials, whereas the main broadcast might be unaffected -- but that's not always the case. Haven't figured out what triggers it yet.
Anyone else run into this or have any ideas?

I have an Acer Aspire 5542 Laptop running Windows 7 and have had no problems until recently. I went to check my Hotmail and found I could not get to Hotmail.com then my msn messenger signed out and would not sign back in.
I then noticed that I could not get to any Microsoft site but all other sites work fine. I am a computer tech and run a small home network the laptop being the only machine running windows 7 all other run XP or Linux all other machines can access all Microsoft sites so I am pretty sure the problem lies with the laptop, however after running every scan I can think of and coming up empty I wiped the mbr and recreated the hard drive partition and reinstalled windows with the factory restore disks.
i have suddenly developed problems with my win 7 after installing software, specifically the aforementioned update. at present, i can not use skype (i get the 0xc0000034 error), any torrent downloaders, play video on Internet, etc, and the flash player crashes in all browser windows (ff, ie) every time. vlc will play video, but no sound, and when i try to access controls, the program crashes, but won't quit the systray, like skype. itunes will load up, but not play anything, and then freezes, and has to be forced to quit. i've done a clean boot, and still nothing was working. i tried to restore twice, but both failed, at which point my save points were deleted as new action had taken place. i checked my device manager. and all hardware is functioning fine. i am currently updating all drivers, but i'm fairly certain it's superfluous. i have disabled my firewall and avg, run spybot, and scanned for virus. all clean. (i've always kept a clean drive). i am soooo close to fragging the drive and reinstalling windows. save my sanity. i have tried to uninstall the patch, but can't. things went to pot after installing kb2533552, and 2534366... running win 7 64 bit, ultimate, v.6.1 (build 7601, sp1) 4 gig ram, triple core amd processor, ati 4770 graphics card, creative sb titanium sound.
View 2 Replies View RelatedA few days ago, I logged in and my desktop and files were wiped clean and I got this message: "You have been logged on with a temporary profile. To fix this, log off and try logging on later. Please see the event log for details or contact your system admin." I shut down and tried again a half hour later and it was fine. Every day for the past few days, the same thing has been happening and yesterday it took about 8 reboots to get my regular profile up.
This is a new PC that I got late last year, and there are no signs of a virus or any other problems. I have not touched my profile or made any changes. This came out of nowhere. A brief search online has brought up some suggestions of changing the registry keys, but that can be extremely dangerous unless I know exactly what I'm doing.
Yesterday night I finally got the time around to finish the fresh installation of Windows 7, and I created a hard link for both my "Program Files" and "Program Files (x86)" using the command prompt in the Windows 7 installation disk.
The hard link points to another partition(E:) which I use to store Program Files purely. However, at the time of creating the hard link using the Windows 7 Installation disc, the volume letters were different than what it was in Windows. Now when I tried to access my files from Windows, it would give me an error. To better illustrate the problem,
The image above shows the hard link in (C:) and the volume which I link to (E:)
The image above shows the hard link and the directory it links to in E:. Notice that the Internet Explorer 8 on taskbar is no longer available. On the other hand, when I tried to install Firefox on "C:Program Files (x86)", it would be put in "C:ProgramData" which appears to be a new backup system that Microsoft used in case "Program Files" folder was deleted.
I know I'm in for another re-install, but what should I do to make the hard links work properly?
