My Sound Icon has vanished from My Windows 7.
I still have sound but I have to access it through control panel.
My Dell Studio XPS 435MT 920 i7, 6Gb, Vista 64BIT SP2 has motherboard Nvidea High Definition Audio 0-3 (total 4) Channels-Driver 1.3.12.0 in Device Manager and Realtec High Definition Audio x1-Driver 6.0.1.6602. All are indicating Working Properly. But my Vista system sounds and all audio movie/recording playback has suddenly vanished. I've tried to make sure all the software audio systems are not muted or turned off, disabled, all turned to max volume. The stereo/bass sytem works fine on another PC and that other working system also doesn't work on the Dell 435MT. This also happened some time ago and a system restore recovered it but now my restore has not worked (not old enough?). The only recent events are normal updates on system and drivers and a fault with an AcGenral.dll when an exe file is launched. The motherboard seems to work ok as tapping the microphone leads to sound out on the speakers.

View 1 Replies View RelatedYou may have trouble believing this, but the ENTIRE WINDOWS FOLDER on the hard drive has vanished.I've been using my machine as usual although am having some bad problems, such as not being able to download/install since Windows Installer is also gone. I guess that's part of the Windows.system 32 stuff that disappeared.I have a bad feeling I'll have to reinstall Win 7.How in the world could something like this happen? I have the old Windows folder from XP on the drive but no Win 7. Fortunately, I obssess over backing up and have Carbonite, Acronis True Image, Windows BU and everything on Seagate external drives.

In Control Panel, Sounds, I clicked on, New Mail Notification, (which has a sound icon in front of it), I imported "gotmail07" and under, Sound Scheme, the system automatically entered, Windows Default, Modified, which I saved. When the test button is clicked the sound does come on BUT there is NO sound when new mail arrives when Yahoo mail is opened.Also, when Yahoo email is opened I went to Tools, Internet Options, Advance, and there IS a check mark for both, Play system sounds and under Media, Play sounds in web pages.Also, there is NO icon for when new mail arrives in the lower right area where the time & date appears.

View 1 Replies View RelatedMy computer was infected with a System Restore malware. I used the real windows system restore to roll back the system to a point before the infection started. It worked, and the computer returned to normal function as far as applications are concerned. However, my documents and pictures disappeared from the hard drive (no thumnails, no filenames).I tried to undo the system restore, but this did not resolve the problem and the virus reappeared, so I rolled it back yet again. I downloaded Glary Utilities and tried the file restorer and thousands of files were found, but none of the files I am looking for appeared.

I've tried restoring, disconnecting/reconnecting speakers or headphones. Checked to make sure nothing is muted. Software indicates audio is playing, I just can't hear anything. My job requires getting audio so I am desperate. The PC is less than a year old.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have had an evil past days all full of computer problems since ISP technician that erase 200 tabs in mozilla with sensitive info to data loss due unintentional power off and unsaved notepads. That by the way trying to avoid again or to reduce the loss for the next time I was installing a screen capture program (a soft tat take a screen-shots in time intervals so i could at least remember what I had open, but when trying some software's I decide to uninstall the av because it was giving me problems I uninstall it and then it ask me for restart I choose not now.
I left the computer for a while and when I came back I found it Off (I imagine the restart message of the antivirus had a countdown otherwise what else could have turned of the computer), and it was not a power interruption, and when I start it again I found a black wallpaper and I decide to go to my picture to select the wallpaper again I found that my pictures has vanished. I am using linux now I want to leave the windows partition alone to see what can I do to get the pictures back, I was looking for a data recovery software like "getdataback" but it doesn't exist for linux.
I set up my folders to share over SMB, but it appears I didn't set up all of them to share with everyone.I'm trying to re share them but I can't seem to get to the same wizard. When i right click on a folder it gives me the option to 'Share With ...' rather than just 'Share ...' If i click 'Share with ...' it takes me into the Folder Properties window and selects the sharing tab. it doesn't bring up the normal windows share wizard. Any ideas how I get back to the normal windows 7 share wizard?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI upgraded my desktop's cpu, motherboard & memory the other day, but didn't do a clean install of Windows 7. It caused me some problems, but I have most of the issues resolved.However, there is one issue I can't resolve & it is regarding my network/internet connection. I have my Billion modem plugged into a D-Link Wireless Router, whihc is then plugged into 1) My desktop (Windows 7); 2) Work Laptop (XP SP3) & 3) Canon network printer. All was working fine before the upgrade. New mobo is an Asus P8P67 LE, with Realtek on board network adaptor.Now, I can't access the internet or the home network through the desktop. The cable is plugged in, but there is no acknowledgement of the PC being connected to anything. The lights around the LAN port on the mobo don't go on when a cable is connected, the light on the router doesn't go on when the cable is connected & Windows 7 says there is no connection.I tried plugging the modem directly into the PC, & the internet connection works, so I know the LAN port is working on the new mobo. I've also tried all combinations of cables & ports between the pc, the laptop & the router

This has happened before but I was able to do a system restore and bring back all the settings, files, and programs. I tried the same thing today but the restore failed (it still failed after I followed its advice to turn the anti-virus off and then run restore) so I've got a large amount of files (pictures, music, documents) missing that I am hoping are still on the hard drive somewhere.

View 1 Replies View RelatedOn the bottom right of the desktop on Windows 76, the notification icon for internet usually shows the disconnected icon or the no access icon. I'm still connected to the internet though and when I click on the icon, it opens up to show my connection (that is working). Why is it doing this? I've tried googling it, no use. It's not really a big deal, but knowing if I'm connected without having to click on the icon is nice.
