We used to have for most Audio drivers back in XP days a decent equalizer.Now all we have it seems is a basic Volume control. I just want the OPEN MIXER on the bottom task bar to have some basic equalisation like it did with XP.Any decent FREE generic equalizer -- I KNOW if I'm using VLC or Winamp they have their own equalizers and they work so my Audio (connexant HD) must have the facility available somewhere.I have some applications that just deliver "Bog standard Sound" to the on board sound card -- I'd like to be able to adjust the sound with a decent equalizer - seems we've GONE BACKWARDS here from XP -- the rest of Windows 7 is fine.
I've been looking for some time now for a system-wide graphic equalizer. Basically I play a lot of internet radio on my laptop, so the WMP EQ won't do. Also, it doesn't work on games and streaming vids etc.
I've been hearing a lot about the Realtek HD Audio Driver, but can I install that with an Intel soundcard (at least I think it's Intel)? I've downloaded and installed it, rebooted, and nothing happened. There's no icon in the bottomright, and if I try to find the driver the device manager I can't find it either.
I have a HPE-500f pc hooked up to my vizio V551XVT and all that comes up is generic pnp monitor, is that the correct setting and if not how do I change it
I have the generic icons on my desktop. I have searched and found a few "fixes", but none seem to work for me.(I need to comment here that my computer is different from all others in the world")I am going to try to put a method that is supposed to fix this problem, but is does not work. When I get the task manager screen it has something like "C:system32 ame" that I have to leave, it will not go away. When I enter the information it does nothing.Well looking at the situation I want to know that all the icons of the application are turned in to generic icon or all the icons which are associated with Microsoft. I am providing following solution to rebuild Icon Cache Database. Well you have to run this command on command prompt of your system. Copy paste the following command and see the results.To launch the command prompt you have to click on the Start menu and enter CMD in the Run and press enter.
One of my application icons (3DS Max 2012) has gone generic. This is true for the original application and its shortcut. Double clicking still opens the app; I just wonder why this is happening? (Let me stress that I'm talking about the App.exe itself, and not the files created by the program.)
When I check for latest drivers on the toshiba website, it says that I have the latest ones installed however when I check intel and realtek, they have newer version generic drivers. At the moment my sound and graphics are very laggy and distort quite often when listening to music or watching films.Should I update the drivers with the generic ones or just stick to the OEM toshiba ones?
The Generic PnP Monitor driver is flapping like there is something wrong with the monitor. It keeps trying to redisover the monitor and blanks out the screen every 30 seconds or so. Very irritating. I am running a Westinghouse LCM-22w3 22" HD monitor through a Belkin KVM Switch. This does not occur on my XP machine or my Linux server only Windows 7.
1. Find out how much memory is being used by each Svchost 2. Find out what processes are running under each Svchost 3. Identify the Process ID (PID) for each Svchost
If a Svchost has multiple processes running under it how do I find out how much memory each of those processes under a generic svchost is using?
1. Click on the Windows world ball 2. Type "command prompt" 3. Right click on "command prompt" and run as Adminstrator 4. At the command prompt first type in "tasklist /svc". This will give you the "Image Name" "PID" and "Process(s)" for each PID (Product Identification Number) 5.Follow the method described below for each Process that you want to isolate.
Creating an Isolated Process.What this method really does is modify one of the registry parameters for the service in question from a shared process to an isolated process. The command syntax is fairly straightforward and uses the sc config command set: sc config <service name> type= own. So for Windows Updates (wuauserv), the command would be: sc config wuauserv type= own. Note that there is a space between the '=' and 'own' - you must insert that space.
6. Reboot 7. Now repeat steps 1 - 4 below the double dotted line above 8. Verify that the "Process" that you wanted to isolate has its own PID 9. Type in Tasklist /FI "PID eq xxxx". Where "xxxx" is the number of the PID that you just isolated.Make sure to type in the quotes as indicated.
You will now be able to see the memory usage of the process that you just isolated. Note that the image name will still show as "Svchost.exe". To verify that you are looking at the correct PID, you can run "Process Explorer", go the PID in question, right click, left click on Properties, left click on Services and you will see the service that you just isolated. Does isolating a service out of a Svchost and creating its own Svchost change the total amount of memory that your system is using? I would think that it would because you are adding an additional Svchost for each process that you isolate.
Where on the Win 7 RC 64 bit installation disk can I find its Generic NIC Card Drivers. My install disk points me to the System32 Folder but stops there. Can anyone lead me to the correct Folder and File Name for these Drivers.
Well, I just found my old PC Wheel (Speedlink 2in1 Force Vibration Wheel) and I wanted to try it out. I remember, that it was working on my gaming pc, when it had XP on it. Now it has Windows 7 and it recognises it as a Generic USB Hub, not as a game controller. I tried to reinstall drivers, even the whole pc. But without any results. The wheel is working, I tested it on my laptop, which has Windows 7 too, but also it has USB 3.0. Maybe that is the reason, why it isnt working on my gaming pc? Its not working even on my friends pc.
I have a multi-function card reader installed in my computer and it will not read any of the flash cards I have, this card reader has USB connection on the front which works fine. I am attaching a screen shot it is the generic USB Hub right under Universal Serial Bus controllers that is the cause of this problem. As you can see the the Sony cam USB device on this hub is working fine, but I cannot plug in any CF Flash XD or SD or MS flash card to the reader they are not seen. I have disabled the reader restarted the computer no luck. I am sure it is a realtek card reader I have tried installing latest driver from realtek with no luck. This was working fine in the past in fact the realtek drivers also worked and showed up in device manager.
Working on a fresh install of Windows Ultimate. Got everything in place, programs, etc. Still trying to troubleshoo the built-in webcam problem (not starting up, "Need WIA driver" stuff). I found a driver for it from the manufacturer but right away I noticed it didn't work, the cam didn't work and so I attempted to roll back the driver. I then noticed that generic icons replaced many of the icons in my Start menu and task bar. I decided to do a system restore back to the point before I tried the new driver. No dice. Same problem exists. Then I went searching the forums for some ideas, many of which include deleting and rebuilding the icon cache, making the cache bigger, cleaning the dead entries from the registry, etc. I tried manually fixing the icon (replacing them) but the "change icon" command returns "cannot find" icon file. I went to look in the Windows/Installer folder and there is NOTHING in there except for a $PatchCache$ folder. The shortcuts for the generic icons do lanch their applications properly, fortunately. I've tried a lot of stuff, but nothing seems to work. This is so annoying. I put a lot of work into rebuiliding this system and I don't want to have to rebuild it all over again. All because of a stupid, lousy little web cam driver!
I'm running a fully patch Windows 7-64. I've got Adobe's After Effects pinned to my task bar. Until a week or so ago, it would show an AE icon, but now - it's showing a generic icon. I've tried to set the icon by hand, but it won't set. I've tried removing it and pinning it again (the icon shows up ok in Explorer), but with no success. This has happened to two other icons from different programs
So thing is my display driver - Standard VGA Graphics Adapter.I have a Panasonic CF-51ECCDBBM Model.So here is what happened---
I was a frequent user of the OS - Windows XP and my driver worked fine, I could play many low quality and few high quality games. But I tend to get infected when I was on XP. So I switched to a new OS - Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit (6.1, Build 7601) it automatically installed a the current driver I have as of now. When I try to play games on it, they will not work. When I try to play the Windows 7 Card game it lags terribly. I have done things such as the Windows Experience Index, Updating my driver via device manager, dxdiag, and several blogs and help sites. If possible can anyone help me or reccommend drivers that are compatible with my current OS and is substantially better than the piece of crap driver I have now?
I thought that I had posted this last night, but no sign of it, so I'm thinking that I must have just taken a look at the preview and forgotten to submit -- sorry Mods, if this is a duplicate go ahead and kill it. Well I've got a nasty infection on my Dell XPS Studio, and at this point think that the easiest thing would be to do a clean install. Dell's Windows 7 installation is quite bloated, what I'd really like to do is install from my generic Windows 7 Upgrade disc, downloaded from the Microsoft Store and previously installed on my XPS 410. I do have Dell's disk for installing their required drivers, etc.
I tried adding my Xbox to Media Center as an extender.
I got the code from the xbox, put it in the pc on media center, and the xbox then said it was downloading something.... It finished as far as I know and went to the screen that says go to xbox.com/pcsetup, well media center on the pc went to the next page where it is supposed to configure the extender, and it froze. I restarted the computer and tried again. Now the xbox is displayed as an extender, but it says it is not configured. If I select it it asks me to put in the code, I get the code from the xbox and the pc goes to the next screen for a few seconds, and then a new one, Configuration Error, an error was encountered while configuring your computer for use with this extender.
I've searched but I cannot find anything that helps... I've looked for a certificate but there is none. I don't see how to remove the xbox from media center completely to start over, and I can't make it add it. I'm only using windows firewall, and allowed all the media center services to go. Not sure what to try next, it doesn't really provide me with any information.
windows 7 wont install generic drivers for any usb device Example- keyboard,mouse,external hard drives. Devices show up in dev.and printers as unspecified,when I use the troubleshooting tool, the message says device has no driver. Yes even wired keyboard and mouse
I formatted my dell studio 1749, since then, the resolution cannot be set to my desired resolution, the highest is 1152 x 864, which is ok with me. How do i get the driver for this. display is; Generic PnP Monitor on standard vga graphics adapter.
