I recently reformatted my hard drive and reinstalled Windows xp. Now my sound is messed up. I can turn the volume up as loud as it will go and it's very quiet coming out of the speakers. I checked all of the settings and even went so far as to buy a new soundcard, but the problem persists.
How can i set the settings like, when in-game i want to play a sound straight from my PC, not putting my microphone near the headphones so they can hear it
i am having a problem with sound. the strange thing is, i can hear sound when i play music from my windows media player. but, i cannot hear sound from things such as: Internet, or any website. i don't really understand. is there a setting in internet options or something that i need to turn on?
I can't change my homepage anymore it's stuck at this stupid video renting site and also i can't listen to any audio in web pages or any other program except windows media player and i've noticed when i'm on warcraft 3 i can't only hear background music and clicking sounds but no battling or speech audio that's really weird and i've set the proper volumes in the game already so i don't know what's going on also, i'm using symantec antivirus corporate edition and spyware doctor but they were both recently been unable to protect my computer in real time when b4 it was always ON and protecting my computer, now i can only scan computer with those programs (i have not changed the settings on these programs and it still says real time protection is enabled).
I have XP Pro 2002 SP3 Pent4 2.66GHz 1.00GB of RAM Recently I cannot view a video or listen to music without it stopping the music to rebuffer & videos stop.System idle is at 65-70 & iexplore is at 25-30.I do not see anything else running.I do not play games.I did recently download the lastest version of itunes & have read that a number of people are having a buffering problem when listening to radio stations.And I am not able to watch a movie at hulu without it needing to stop I was able to last week.
I have Call of Duty on my PC, and just a wee while ago noticed something very weird. I ran my desktop cleanup wizard for the first time in months, and noticed afterwards when I went to play Call of Duty all my graphics and sound settings had been reset to the lowest levels of quality, and some mouse settings had also been altered. I can change these back to my preferences while in the game, but if I quit and then load the game again all the settings have reset back to the lowest settings again. If I do a system restore to the point before I did the desktop cleanup then everything is fine, but every time I redo the desktop cleanup the problem reoccurs.
I can't get my cut and paste to work, the words are clear and when I click on it it won't do anything. what do I do, it's annoying while trying to send resumes out.

I may not be asking this right but here goes for win xp. Let's say you are going to log in and you type the letter " D " for example and any name that you use in the pass shows up in a drop down below, then you can pick a previous typed name. OK My question is can you clear this list? It's annoying because I left out a letter from a e-mail address,
I found images in Windows Picture and Fax viewer that I want to delete. I can delete them one-by-one, but that takes time. I went to Disk Cleanup up and deleted all Temp and Temp internet files, but the images are still there. I checked Properties of the images for the file names, went to Win Explorer, but only found C:Documents and Settingsuser, there was no subfolder for Local Settings and, obviously nothing after that. I did a Search in Explorer, including hidden files and folders, for the file names and the searches resulted in nothing. I am back to deleting one-by-one, but my concern is, Where did everything from Local Settings on go to. BTW, I also run Skybot, Adaware and Norton virus weekly
When I started up it says Win.ini corrupt. Then it starts up as a new user losing track of Favorites and Start Menu and Desktop Icons, Display and Folder attributes. Under Documents and Settings it has added Dave.U5R2D5 in addition to Dave which still has all the information. I tried switching the 2 Filenames to get back to what it used to be but gave an error message and didn't do it and started another new file.Is there some way to use the old Dave file?
Typing the letter "c" into I.E.'s location box produces a list of previously typed sites that begin with that letter, as an example. Clearing HISTORY or TEMPORARY INTERNET FILES does not affect this list.The names therein do not appear in the registry or MRU lists. What's the secret to remove them.
can any one please tell me how do you get rid of all the www address you collect in your drop down address browser at the top of the page in internet explorer someone once told me how to get rid of them in windows 98 but i have forgot what they said think it was something like go to run type in re something then follow the on screen info but cant remember it.
when i click "search" (i'm going to my posts) the drop down menu is "clear" words are black but menu drops down over the other words on the page and it's difficult to see what is on the menu. is there someway i could have the menu background a color
Temp to clear the temporary internet files. I have installed Dual OS - Win 98 in C: and Win XP in D:. I am using Win XP mainly. For the past few months when i try to use this command it throws an error at me saying Windows cannot find D:Documents. But i know that usually there will no folder called Documents rather than Documents and Settings.
how can i clear the drop-down lists in Internet explorer,like when i chick to put a user name in somewhere, but so many have been added in i have to scroll down to find my user names.
When you use any Windows plaform (XP, 2000, NT4, 98...) to logon to domain,the logon dialog box always shows the username and domain (last successfulattempt).
Is it possible to clear the username (so username and password field are empty when next logon)?
It is because we have some computers that shared by many different users. I don't want to let them know who was the last successful logon

I tried to establish clear Icons on the desktop via this path: Ctrl Panel > System Advance Tab > Check "Use drop shadows for Icon labelson the desktop" > ReBoot. This does not work. Can this be changed in the Registry and if so, how ? OS XP HOME SP 2
How do I clean out the list of sites that build up in this tool bar? I've tried unchecking and rechecking the address option in the toolbar selection popup menu from the taskbar. I've also cleared all the sections under tools --> options --> privacy from the Firefox dropdown menu. Maybe I need to do something from within IE rather than Firefox? Maybe this post belongs under browsers/internet rather than XP, but the toolbar in question is unique to XP, or XP and ME, is it not?
I have a personal picture on my desktop as the background and the desktop icons all had clear background instead of a background color...then my daughter punched a whole bunch of keys and now the icon backgrounds are grey like my background color!! i forget how to set them back to clear, can anyone tell me how
I downloaded part of this file and then stopped it halfway through. Now I want to re-download it but it still is only downloading part of it (I think from the cache). Can someone please tell me how to clear the cache so that I can re-download the whole file. I cleared the Temp. Internet Files, Cookies, ran disc clean-up, shut-down and re-started the computer, removed and re-inserted the RAM but it still only gives my part of the file.
I recently switched servers, with the new server having a different name than the old. I deleted all my old offline files and re-synched with the new server, but the old server name keeps reappearing in the Synchronization pane during Offline Files synchronization. How can I delete all references to the old server?
