Im haveing multiple problems with my laptop and its pretty bad.First of all the wireless conection breaks all the time and it says that Wireless zero configuration utility needs to be restarted. So i have to go to Run; %SystemRoot%/system32/services.msc s and restart it. But it just goes out again after a few hours.Windows Firewall will not open. It says; "Windows firewall setting cannot be displayed becasue the associated service is not running." I click ok and it says" Windows cannot start the widows firewall/Internet connection sharing (ICS) service.Windows defender cannot update. It says its trying but then fails and it dosnt display the problem long enough to write it down here. My sound is no longer working. Im about to just give up and reformat and re instal everything. Unless anyone thinks i have a hardware problem

I've been trying to download an audio driver on my newly formatted windows xp pro computer. I can't seem to be able to download the audio driver I keep getting an error stating that the driver has not passed windows logo testing. I know I have a AC97 Sound Card.

I have a Realtek audio driver sound thing installed on my computer and I have a newer version on my computer at work. The only difference is the bells and whistles. How do I find a new driver for my sound card?I have an Insignia D400a with Intel Pentium 4 CPU at 2.80 GHz and 512 MB of Ram. I went to Realtek's web site, and there are some drivers but I didn't see any info on how to know which one is or will work for my computer.

Im haveing some sound issues. Sound works through the speakers in games, yet through a browser (IE or Firefox) only works through the head phone jack. So I thought about upgrading the driver, yet I cant figure out how to do that. Under sound, video, and game controllers all it says is Legacy Audio Driver. Sorta vague eh??? Anyone run into this? Nothing crucial here, just very annoying, im not really wanting to have to go buy another sound card simply because I cant find a stupid driver.

After going through many trials, tribulations, and attempts to fix my computer, i was left with only one option, to fully restore it back to factory settings. i thought this would cleanse all of my problems. now i have no sound. i have tried running services.msc and windows audio is correctly enabled. it is likely to be a missing sound driver, but i have no clue how to determine where i can get this said driver. i think it is important to note that it appears that none of my usb ports in the front or back of my computer are active.

remove programs window is a High Definition Audio Driver Package. It has after it, kb888111. Is this just an update patch from microsoft? I ask because that's all there is. I can't find where the driver itself is installed. It looks like an update, without a program. If i need these drivers, where could i get them?

It is an HP Pavillion 743g running Windows XP Pro, SP2 (installed from a retail disc)It has Realtek AC'97 Audio Card I have attempted to install the driver from HP's website, from Realtek's website, from DriverGuide, and a few other locations.Every version of the installer causes windows to crash halfway thru. I am presented with the window saying it's failed the logo verification or whatever, I click continue anyway, the system hangs for a second then crashes and restarts.

Windows XP and recently had to reinstall due to failures. Yesterday, I clicked on the volume control icon and it said it couldn't do anything because we didn't have an audio driver! It just worked the day before! Then the icon disappeared. The audio is gray in the sound control panel, so we can't do a thing. We have the Windows XP CD, but I don't want to mess with anything, especially after having it reinstalled a short while ago. Is there a place I can download a new driver for this system?

My "Multimedia audio controller" is popping up as new hardware found. It's sitting in device manager with yellow I have an onboard sound card.When i try to install the drivers from my motherboard CD, it asks for my windows CD. Then just says it cannot find the files.When i try to point it to the drivers that i downloaded it does the same.No matter what it asks for the windows CD, then says it cannot find the file "Ksuser.dll" which is defenatly there inside a .cab file.

I recently did a fresh install of Windows XP on on my laptop and since then I haven't been able to get sound working. Almost all drivers have been installed and Device manager tells me they are working just fine. My audio one is a Sigmatel driver, if that matters much ... but there's 5 others listed under "sound, video, and game controllers."Almost all drivers, as I said, the ones below I didn't install for various reasons:
* Sony Visual Communication Camera Driver -- It is actually installed, just disabled because it gives shutdown issues.

I do not speak Microsoft so if I use any terms which are not quite correct please make allowances. I purchased a new laptop on Friday which includes Norton Firewall. The
machine came preconfigured with Windows XP (Version 5.2 with service Pack 2) nstalled. I set the machine up to access my home network which includes other machines in an MSHOME work group and to route through the firewall router to the Internet. All this worked as I expected

I use mIRC and I've given it full access in my Firewall Zone Alarm free edition settings, but whenever I try to join a server, GameSurge in this case, I get this error: This never used to happen with the older version of ZoneAlarm, but I'm assuming this version has bug fixes or improved stability over the older one so I'm reluctant to go back to it.

I have a volume control icon at my system tray...then, all of the sudden, the icon shows a "mute" status...i tried to unmute it by double-clicking the icon to access the volume control...nothing happened...i went to Control Panel>Sound and Audio Devices...also, nothing happened...i thought that this applet (mmsys.cpl) in C:WINDOWSSYSTEM32 was corrupted, so i tried to run it from other folder containing that file but still, nothing happened...at this point, i don't think that all 3 files were corrupted...the only way to control the volume , and to mute/unmute is by using the Creative Surround Mixer (i have an Audigy sound card),which work flawlessly...The wierd part is, even i unmute from here, the volume icon at the system tray still shown as 'mute'..but i can still hear all the sounds and songs...Then, I've discovered that in AudioHQ (also from Creative software), under the View>Multimedia Propertis, I CAN actually access the 'Sound and Audio Devices' applet...this will open the 'Audio' tab...other tabs like 'Sound', 'Voice' and 'Hardware' is also accessible from here, BUT, when opening the 'Volume' tab, it hangs...i could't access this applet any longer...the only way to close it is to end the process (rundll32.exe) in the task manager.That's why i conclude that the volume tab in the applet is problematic.

I recently upgraded to the Norton Anti-Virus 2005 edition. I have always trusted this Anti-Virus program but it turned off the windows XP firewall and they tell me that I don't need it with their 2005 version because worms, hackers, viruses etc. are stopped through their program. Anyone know anything about this ? Obviously I want to be well protected

I've searched for this topic and am not able to find anything. I'm wondering why my Windows Firewall options are all greyed out and a message states that "for your security, some settings are controlled by a group policy" I also have a follow up question as to how to remove a service that appears to not be in the HJT log but shows when I check msconfig under services
