Windows 7 Not Picking Up Mic
Oct 17, 2012My Sennheiser PC161 headset died on me, so I bought one second hand off craigslist. Got home that night and plugged it in, and the mic is not working.
My friend in Mumble says that whenever I try to transmit, he can hear what I'm hearing (i.e if i'm watching a video, then he will hear that video being transmitted). When I run the audio wizard in Mumble, it does not pick up my voice.
More oddities to note:
-W7 wants to turn the mic boost all the way up on the mic. When i turn it down W7 automatically turns it back up
-When I run Skype audio wizard, I hear static and the green bar constantly bounces around, even when I'm quiet.
-W7 microphone wizard does not pick up my voice.
-I am able to switch back to my old mic and use it seemlessly.
Install Windows XP- Not Picking Up Drive
Jan 15, 2013I have a problem with a new Win XP install on a Dell 3000 (Dimension), having blown the bus on trying to install a second drive (It only allows for one hd drive), and replacing the motherboard,, it powers up, bios reads ok, I am pretty sure it is taking the OS, and now it does not read the drive, something about no drive IDE 0, IDE 1. I am using the factory install discs. Seems fine, just won't find the drive. Could it be that I am using a Western Digital 80 gig, replacing the Seagate 80 gig it came with.
my physical disability limits me to cruising forums at min imums on a Mac powerbook... ie, I am not real computer literate, and I am not to good at researching on a computer. And I am not good at doing searches anyway. It would make a good map computer for my simulator (FSX), and I am about to tear down a Sony Vaio (1.83 ghz) as soon as I can get the right parts machine for the screen. Came as a gift when one of my nephews stepped on the screen, XP pro, still works....
TV Not Picking Up Signal
Nov 11, 2012I'm trying to connect a TV to my laptop and want to use my TV as the second monitor.I'm using a brand new VGA cable and the laptop is picking up the TV fine, I can change resolutions, extend etc but the TV just says 'No Signal Through PC'. I'm not ruling out that I've been unlucky enough to buy a dodgy VGA cable but I don't have another to test it with here.

View 3 Replies View RelatedHow To Stop Mic From Picking Up Audio-out?
Jun 22, 2012I'm trying to record an audio track for a song using Audacity, and I'm playing the song through my headphones while trying to record my track, but I end up recording both from my mic and what's playing through the headphones. I've tried using Sound Recorder and get the same results, so it's not Audacity's problem. it seems like my audio out is also getting fed into my audio in. Ironically I've been able to find millions of tutorials about how to make your computer do this, but I cannot seem to find a way to make it NOT record from my speakers and my mic. The various settings under audio devices are bafflingly cryptic to say the least, and no where can I find an option that would hint to why my audio out is being fed to my inputs.

Aug 16, 2012i recently bought a samsung n102s netbook. It came with windows 7 starter on it, on which wired and wireless connections worked fine. Then I installed windows 7 professional, on which I could get a wired connection, but only a very slow wireless one. Now, I've replaced professional with Windows 7 Ultimate, and my wireless connection works fine, but I can't get a wired connection. When I plug an ethernet cable in, the icon in the system tray doesn't change to the square "wired connection" one, it just stays with the wireless one. The "wired connection" icon appears briefly during startup, only to be replaced again by the wireless one.I've tried to update the drivers for the ethernet controller, which is type Realtek PCIe FE Family Controller, but to no avail; the wired connection is not picked up.

Aug 22, 2010Okay, so I can rearrange them using the edit feature, but what about the channels that don't show up at all? I would like to see them in the guide too. Instead of saying "No data available" Many of the digital channels I am supposed to get don't show up at all. Also, my provider is not listed even thought the web site clearly shows they do provide digital channels. (This is a new thing as last semester the college only had a few digital channels mainly PBS)My provider is the Pennsylvania State University but the only ones showing for digital are Comcast and Windstream, both of the State College area

Migrate Windows.old After Changing From Windows 7 Ultimate To Windows 7 Home?
Jan 25, 2012I installed Win 7 Ultimate onto my brothers Win 7 Home Edn laptop. I didn't realise at first and he has done quite a bit of work on it since the installation, on iTunes and the like. I only noticed the error when trying to activate windows and, of course, as the laptop is Home Edn, and I used an Ultimate disc it didn't take the key on the laptop. So I have now installed Home edition and have the Windows.old folder present. I basically need to put all the programs and file/folders etc into the new OS.

View 6 Replies View RelatedTroubles Transferring Windows Mail Vista To Windows 7 Windows Live Mail 2011
Apr 22, 2011MS and their mail systems are giving me grief. I have a Vista 32 PC using "Windows Mail" and want to transfer email folders (lots) and messages to Windows 7 using Windows Live Mail 2011.Windows Mail was a replacement for Outlook express on Vista.Windows Live Mail 2011 is a replacement for Windows Mail on Windows 7.I tried a couple of things.
1) Basic Export and ImportI exported relavent files: Account info, Contacts and all the messages to a folder (in Windows Mail format) on old computer and used the old "Addias" transfer - copied folder to stick and RAN it over to the new computer.
- Imported (using the Windows Mail format) the Account info successfully,
- imported the Contact info successfully.
- Import Messages - appeared at first to be successful
Issue: Message folders appear to be renamed and some folder names have been truncated, not all folders appear to be there. (Looks like "long Name folders greater that 8 characters get truncated)
2) Tried the "Easy transfer mechanism (Vista and Win7 transfer utility) - but couldn't get the new computer to see the Vista even though I could see them on the network. I thought that this would transfer the folder names correctly.I'm about to try a time consuming effort of coping folder by folder (export/Import)What I am more concerned about is that the individaul messages may have the same issue Ie not all coming accross and subject names being lost. Looking for alternative or third party transfer solutions?
Windows 7 Hangs On "Starting Windows" After Finished Expanding Windows
Jul 17, 2012I just bought myself some new parts for a new computer I built. After buying the parts and assembling it I tried to install windows 7, keeping in mind that this computer has no previous os installed in it, completely blank. I somehow managed to get to safe mode and install till the part where it says expanding windows files completing that step fully and rebooting to continue the installation, I have no idea why but after when it restarts, it freezes at the "starting windows" screen with the four orb animation. It should just go to the next screen with the blue wallpaper asking me for the language I would like and what not. But it just gets stuck there and doesn't move on, I tried
rebooting
removing as much devices I had plugged into the motherboard
removing everything but the mouse and key board
removing the graphics card
removing one of the two sticks of ram
[code]...
I have tried everything I know of and I don't think I need to update my bios because no one else has encountered this problem. Swell I am not very good with computers I am very new to this so...I also heard about updating drivers , but don't u need to actually be able to login to your computer to download and install them? I can't even log in, I wait for the windows logo to pass but it never does please help Tom Hardware community.
Add Another Windows 7 To Windows XP/ Windows 7 Dual Boot?
Apr 8, 2011I bought a new computer that came with a Win 7 HP license, however I already have a copy of Win 7 Ultimate on another smaller HDD that dual boots with XP.I have copied the Win 7 HP partition to the smaller HDD that has dual boot Win 7 Ultimate / XP using EASUS Partition Manager. Then I disk copied the smaller HDD to the new larger HDD thus wiping the original contents of the HDD.So far so good, the larger HDD now has C: Windows 7 Ultimate; D: XP Pro; E: Windows 7 HP. Of course the boot manager only has entries for the C: and D: partition.I think I can use bcdedit to add another entry but I am a little confused about how to do this, I've seen examples for Win 7 and XP or Vista but not for 2 copies of Win 7. Can anyone tell me what bcdedit commands I need to run? For instance I could run "bcdedit /create {} /d "Win 7 HP" but I don't know what to put inside of the {}, I think I need a new UUID but I don't know if I should be running "bcdedit /createstore" first or something else.

Windows 7 Toshiba A505 Windows Boot Manager And Recovery Media Failed
Feb 20, 2012I have a Toshiba Satellite A505-S69803; serial number Y9340538Q, with Windows 7, 500Gb HDD at 5400rpm and 4Gb RAM... I think that's all correct.Anyway, long story short, I got a b!tch of a virus, which apparantly was doing all sorts of nasty things to the explorer.exe file in particular. So I backed up all my important stuff: files, Uni work, writings, music and photos etc onto an external hard-drive and went about restoring the laptop to out-of-box factory settings by making the Windows 7 Recovery Media Discs. But when I try to use the discs I get told after about 30 minutes The Toshiba Recovery Wizard "Can't read from the source file or disk: PREINST5.SW5" with options to: Try Again (The same thing happens), or Skip (Same message again), or Cancel (in which case I'm back where I started).After the Recovery Wizard failed I chose the option to erase the hard-drive; it then appeared that when I turn on the laptop as normal I was told <Error>: F3-F200-0002 and the Recovery Media Disks still refuse to work.Now, if I turn on the laptop as normal a message telling me to insert the installation disc, choose language and click "repair your computer". So I put in the recovery disc and get the same message.
Toshiba can't help as my A505 is an American model in Britain and out of warranty anyway. Europe Toshiba HQ don't supply the recovery media for the A505 and the American based Toshiba aren't allowed to send the Recovery Media to Europe; so apparantly I get no help from them. And Microsoft can't help me because my laptop was purchased with everything pre-installed so the codes associated with my Windows and Office are comletely irrelevent.I have been told that I need to purchase a compeltely new hard-drive and purchase Windows 7 brand new to get my laptop back up and running. Purchasing a new OS isn't too much of an issue because I can just get XP for a tenner, validate it with Microsoft and then get a student upgrade onto W7-Ult for �60. So �70 in total, I'm fine with that. But do I need a new hard-drive too? Or can I rescue everything I already had?
