View 9 Replies View RelatedI hv been using Windows 7 for 2yrs on my HP DV6502AU Laptop, using vista's drivers for the same, everything was fine bt few days back its sound went off with a cross mark on the sound icon.

And the bad luck followed, now modem driver is showing the same"cannot find the modem device for this driver".

View 3 Replies View RelatedI recently solved the problem why windows was hanging on boot up after the "Welcome screen and logo". It hung because I had media in the DVD drive.Now I would like to solve the issue of media in DVD drive preventing Windows from completing boot up.It was weird. If I did a warm restart or immediate start after shutdown Windows wouldn't load. If I shut down for five minutes it would start fine. Once I removed the media from DVD drive it would restart or boot normally.DVD isn't set up to boot in BIOS; I do that by pressing F12 during POST.
View 7 Replies View RelatedWhen I play music, I keep getting interference like a crackly sound. I used to think that it was due to my wireless headphones not being very good quality but I get it with my good quality wired earphones. Anyone got any ideas???? I would tell you what my sound card is but I don't know where to find the details also, it is a laptop. I think it maybe Realtek high definition audio that features somewhere, but I don't know where to find more details.

I am contacting you about a problem I recently noticed. Today when I opened windows explorer, under the Network tab I noticed a new unknown computer called VALI-PC. I do not have wireless internet, I have broadband connection. I do not know this computer and I did not add it. At first I thought some sort of virus did it. I have reinstalled Windows, thinking that it would solve the problem, yet the unknown computer is still there. I have tried flushing the dns from the command prompt and other similar tricks, rebooted my computer but it's still there. I would like to know how to block and remove this computer from the Network folder. Note that I am not part of any workgroup and I do not own a workgroup. Also I am using Windows 7 Ultimate.
View 3 Replies View RelatedAs a personal preference, I run with the taskbar positioned on the left side of the screen with autohide set. In all previous versions of Windows, when I set the width of the taskbar (usually about 1 inch, so I can see more than just the icon for each task and the quick launch area is three or four icons wide) it stays that way, whether the taskbar is locked or unlocked. With Windows 7, after I set the width, any time the system restarts, whether from Hibernation, reboot, initial startup, what-ever - the taskbar is back to the narrowest setting.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI am currently having a problems with my Windows 7 Operating System. I am baffled by the sheer number of warnings within Windows Explorer, the PC I am using is an entry level workstation, most of the parts are fairly recent, it has been a year I had purchased this machine. Upon starting up the windows, I get this dwm.exe Bad Image Error (Picture Attached in the Bottom).It says: C:WindowsSystem32dxgi.dll error. I have searched over the net and they suggested me to restart pc in safe mode, but nothing happens after I do so.The same Error pops up when I open Photoshop CS5 and also when I try open/saving a file using Windows Directory System from any application. My OS is x64 so are a bunch of programs, like while opening Photoshop it will say; "C:Windowssystem32EhStorShell.dll is either not designed to run to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original media contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support." As soon as I click ok the program works fine, but facing this annoying popup box every time I fire up a program or windows is irritating.I want to know if there are any permanent solutions, I heard it's a fact that you have to format and reinstall your Windows almost every year, is that true? I have installed critical programs with addons, is there any way that I can avoid reinstalling my windows and not face these annoying dialogs?

This problem started a few days ago. Whenever I close my laptop, the computer shuts down. I've done the obvious and checked the settings for sleep, hibernate and shutdown on lid close, but those are all set to sleep, not shutdown. As you might imagine, this issue is a real hassle. I've been losing work and spending far too long on start up time with this.
The laptop itself is an hp pavilion dv4, if that might have anything to do with it.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI use Windows 7 Pro 64 bit and have a Brother HL-1440 installed which has been working fine. I recently had to go out of town with my laptop that has the brother printer installed, but did not take my printer with me. A friend lended me an HP laser jet 1022n to use since I forgot my printer. Apparently this printer is so old that when I plug the usb cable into my laptop windows 7 doesnt not find a driver for the printer automatically. So, I tried downloading from the hp site and had issues installing the driver.Lastly, I went to devices and printers > selected Add A Printer > Then add a local printer > Then I select a usb port to connect >I selected what I thought was the correct driver from the list and finished the set up, but when trying to print a test page it would not print. So, I tried adding a printer again and this time selected the correct printer driver with the usb port. So, I am able to print now but when I go devices and printers I notice that it shows the first wrong driver i installed showing as my brother printer. when I look at the properties from right clicking the printer there is a drop down that shows all the drivers i have installed and shows the driver for my brother printer, but when I look back at devices printers it seems to show my brother printer icon named the wrong print driver i installed, basically my brother printer shows with the wrong driver i first installed.
