Since last two days I don't get any sound from my HP pavilion notebook. It has win XP. Tried all the troubleshooting stuff, everything is proper and enabled. Not sure what's cause. Read on the internet that it may be due to corrupt registry. Did anyone face this, if yes how did you solve
View 2 RepliesI just put a hard drive in this HP and installed a fresh copy of Windows XP Home. The only sound I can get is from Windows media player, no system sound at all! I have done microsoft update and installed realtek drivers and nothing happens after they install. Also all the options are faded so you cant test or change them. The video is the same way, I cant even change themes, The propeties button does nothing when you click on it.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an HP Pavillion a335w running Windows XP SP2 Intel Pentium 4 2.5 GHz/400 MHz..I've had this computer for a little over 3 years and I've never had a problem with it. But This morning when I tried turning it on it gave me this message:"We apologize for the inconvenience, but Windows did not start successfully. A recent hardware or software change might have caused this.If your computer stopped responding, restarted unexpectedly, or was automatically shut down to protect your files and folders, choose Last Known Good Configuration to revert to the most recent settings that worked.If a previous startup attempt was interrupted due to a power failure or because the Pwer or Reset button was pressed, or if you aren't sure what caused the problem, choose Start Windows Normally."

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a HP Pavillion running XP Pro. After a Microsoft Auto update IE7 refuses to display any webpage. I have tried restoring to an earlier date but none of the restore points work. I downloaded Mozilla Firefox on my Acer laptop and installed the downloaded file onto the Pavillion. Firefox took all of it's settings from IE7, and works the perfectly. When I shut down my laptop the same Microsoft auto update occurred and promptly killed IE7 on the laptop. I tried removing the updates and have completely removed IE7, downloaded a fresh version from Microsoft and re-installed it but the problem remains the same neither the Pavillion or the Laptop will display a webpage using IE7, but Firefox works perfectly on both. I have also tried turning off the firewall. I am using Kaspersky Internet Security suit.I like Firefox better than IE7 but I want to fix the problem as a matter of principle, any help would be much appreciated.

View 7 Replies View RelatedHP Pavillion 8485Z.I've tried a couple of different things here.When upgrading from a plain disk (no OS) or when booting from the XP upgrade CD (with or without OS). The application loads some stuff and then proclaims "Setup is starting windows" and there it sits forever.When launching it from the system with Win98 installed, it tells me that the CD is for upgrade only (in spite of what the written instructions say) and that it can't install because it can't find C:WindowsWINNT32Win9xUPGW95UPG.DLL. Never mind that Win98 doesn't have a WINNT directory.So what's the next step? Do I create this directory and attempt to find the DLL and copy it to it?

View 6 Replies View RelatedA friend's HP 713 was badly trashed by trojans (various) making it just possible to get the user data off and ready to use the HP_Recovery process to re-install Windows XP and the standard apps. I started everything going OK and then we encountred an electrical blackout.When power returned and I powered up, the dreaded "hal.dll is missing " came up. I used the windows XP SP1 CD I had received with my HP laptop to successfully re-install XP but I haven't got the correct calls (short-cuts) to activate the HP_RECOVERY and I am not sure that the root directory of HP_RECOVERY is still OK..There are several folders one called MiniNT which has within it a system32 folder.I suspect it is a cutdown windows system that rebuilds the real system.

View 8 Replies View Relatedi have a hp pavillion notebook. i used a system recovery cd that came with a hp pavillion desktop. when i got to the recovery screen it said im not using a hp pavillion system recovery disk or if i am to contact hp, when i press enter it disapears and shuts off computer. before doing that and wasting my time on the phone i was wondering if anyone had an answer. if i take the disc out and try to boot, it gives me an error saying i dont have the correct disc installed please insert it(or something along those lines), and i cant load windows at all. its just a white text on black background warning. if i put the disc 1 in ,however, it does as it did before and wont let me proceed with the recovery.. what do i do!? is it because the recovery disc for a desktop is different from a notebook?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to help someone reach safe mode on an HP Pavillion 520w long distance who says that none of the keys work. I thought F8 was universal(MSFT describes it in their Safe Mode KB)and F5 might be used on some machines. I don't know about other keys and always thought Bios setup could vary as to key to reach but not safe mode. Does anyone have any info or authoritative reference on Safe Mode keys in general and that particular HP?

View 5 Replies View RelatedReinstalling a sound driver for onboard sound from a pre-packaged XP, I've tried for days to locate my driver with no success.
I just installed a fresh copy of Windows XP service pack 2 and for some reason the sound doesn't work.
http://support.gateway.com/s/PC/R/3724/3724sp25.shtml
Here is my computer. I tried downloading the sound drivers and restarted ,but I'm still not getting any sound
After a while my sound will cut out and when I try to play things in Winamp or anything it will stay stuck @ 0:00The sounds will sputter for a second and then freeze. Also when the sound dies, sometimes programs will start to freeze up to the point I can't even kill them in tskmgr. System sounds don't play either.I've tried updating to the latest drivers. I tried an older version of the drivers too.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI get a series of low pitch beeps about every hour for a second or two no matter what's running.It's not a system beep, much lower in freguency. Everything else is working fine, good audio for all playbacks.I don't have a system speaker attached to the motherboard. The sound comes thru my Sound Blaster powered speakers, even with the volume off.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI recently upgraded my OS to WinXP Pro from WinME, and there is no sound. I right-click My computer, go to properties, hardware, device manager, then there are 2 yellow circles with exclamation points in them under Multimedia Audio Controller (Intel 82801AA ac'91 Audio Controller), and Unknown Device (Microsoft MPU-401 Compatible MIDI Device). I tried to reinstall them, but it says There was a problem installing this hardware: Intel 82801AA AC'97 Audio Controller. An error occured during the installation of the device. The data is invalid.
View 13 Replies View RelatedI recently purchased a refurbished computer from Fry's Electronics. It seemed like a very good deal, so I went ahead and took it along with others who were taking them.
I finally got my internet up and I began to play Counter-strike. The sound sometimes messes up. I can hear other peoples shots just fine, but when I shot, it is almost silent.
This started last night, the only thing that I did that was out of the ordinary was ran Avast's thourough scan fully, but even after that my sound worked, so it didnt delete the driver to my knowlege, but when I do a dxdiag and look at my audio, it doesn't exist, there is no sound card installed, and allI use is my DFI Lan Party UT RDX200 CF-DR mother boards on board sound. I tried installing the driver again fom DFI and to no success, now when I went to install the drive again, I got an error saying that this device isnt approved by Windows. Could windows be preventing my audio card from working?
When i start my pc skype says that he hasn't found recording hardware. Itunes doesn't work, like Windows Media Player, Winamp etc. The sound is gone. I tried to fix it myself, cause i disabled a driver that seemed to have a problem, but i don't remember what the name was. Now not only the programs have no sound anymore, but windows is silent too. It sure wasn't the driver of my sound card. I installed Everest and he doesn't find any Windows Audio, and says the realtek has "noDB". When i am in the music tab of the "Diagnostic help program for DirectX" "windows synthesizer" test sound doesn't play, but the realtek does.
View 2 Replies View RelatedThis is about sound issues from the computer as in cant get sound from the computer.Went to computer properties then multi media controller has yellow question mark next to it so tried to update driver it goes to the wizard but it will not find any drivers for it without a cd which dont have. Tried roll back drivers says no drivers are backed up on file. Went to sound audio video game controllers audio codecs says all the codecs are working for this computer. Control panel sound audio says no sound device is connected. The sound card is realtek ALC655 AC 97 enhanced audio controller. Again got these drivers from foxxconn and exactly same issues. Extracted the files easily enough from wizard but when go to exe run folder the run it says cannot find setupfilex.dll. Then go to gxdver it dont do anything. Go to exe icon run and logger then it goes cannot run please find the setup exe file from the directory. In the folders cannot seem to find anything that will install the actual drivers without a conflicting issue somewhere. So everytime download this compressed driver folders for the drivers it has problems when the files are extracted.The sound card is enabled and mutli media controller says code 28 drivers not installed.
