While exiting a game I had a system freeze and had to shut my computer down (pulled the plug). Upon restart I got the message "the volume is dirty" and check disk ran. Is this something I should be concerned about? I think I found the right log for it in the event viewer "Winlogon, event 1001" but don't understand whats written in it. Can anyone help me out here? Tell me what a dirty volume is, tell me if there is anything of concern in the log, tell me if I should let it concern me or not?
Whenever I run Internet Explorer, my C: drive gets marked as "Dirty" and the drive gets checked on the next bootup sequence.I have not been able to isolate where the problem is. I don't see any reports of nastiness after running MBAM or Avira AV, thought the system has been infected in the past.
i would be patient and it would go away. at first i noticed that while using msn messenger, its volume control for voice chat controled the main volume for the whole pc. so if it was low things wouldnt sound as high as i wanted. no matter if i adjusted the main volume in the control panel, which was always set to highest, the volume would still be at the mercy of msn m. so if it was lower than usual i would have to sign into msn m and adjust it. not only does this happen with msn m. it also happens with web video applications used by Internet, livevideo, etc etc! those arent usually the culprit of low sound. its usually just msn m.
So i was trying to make some room on y C drive and i guess i deleted some files that i shouldn't To make a long story short now my volume control thingy that stays on my taskbar has dissapeared.When i go to the control panel and to sounds and audio devices and i get in there and there is an icon with the option to place volume icon on the taskbar but when i click on that i get 'windows cannot display the volume control on the task bar because the volume control program has not been installed. After several tries i figured i deleted the windows file soundvol32.exe but how the hell do i get it back and put it in its right place?I have no idea where it would go? Anybody have an idea how i can install that back? I tried using my windows cd but since i put service pack 2 on it it said that the version of windows i had on the cd was older than my current version.
For some strange reason, my volume keeps getting muted. When I open the VOLUME CONTROL, the MUTE ALL box is checked, so I uncheck it. Then, a little while later it happens again. This had been going on for about a week now and it's very frustrating. Especially when you're in the middle of a game or spomething and all of a sudden, theres no sound.
Had to reboot my computer awhile back because it froze up and have had no volume since. I get the Coe 10 error code, I have tried to uninstall and reinstall the drivers, with no success. Also get a no media mixer error sometimes.
My window xp volume bar (green color bar appear on the bottom right for few sec when adjust volume) went missing for no reason. Do anyone know how to make it appear again?
Is there anyway I can stop the beeper sounding when I do something wrong,such as trying to move the cursor upwards in Word pad when it's already at the top of the file. Or can I at least turn the volume down?I can't see any volume control on my newly acquired machine. Waiting for that hooter to go off is driving me nuts.
Situation: Had MS Natural Keyboard Pro PS2 with the media keys working just fine. Problem... it's a white keyboard and all my stuff is now black or silver. Okay, get a new keyboard, MS Wireless Natural Keyboard. Uninstalled and reinstalled old/new software. ONly problem, the new keyboard can't control volume up/down. It can mute/unmute and all other special keys work.
where the link is that ties those keys in to the main volume control in registery. Here's something interesting: If I plug the old PS2 keyboard in, no drivers, XP recoginizes and all media keys work fine on it including volume. If I keep both keyboards installed simultaneously they both work fine and control everything EXCEPT the new one can't raise/lower the volume, just mute.
I click on the volume control icon, and it "opens" on the task bar, but it doesnt show up on the screen. I can close it by right clicking its 'bubble' on the taskbar, and selecting close.I just can't see it when its open, and i cant figure out why.I have tried restarting the computer, and reinstalling the sound card drivers. Can i reinstall the volume control in XP, like you can in 98?
i want to reformat my comp (os is xp home), and when i typed format in the comand... this message pops up saying:
"Format cannot run because the volume is in use by another process. Format may run if this volume is dismounted first. ALL OPED HANDLES TO THIS VOLUME WOULD THEN BE INVALID. Would you like to force a dismount on this volume? (Y/N)"
I wanted to install xp over my 2000, and so i loaded everything up installed everything and then got to the partition selection. It would not let me delete C: because it said there were files that were needed for the setup, arent they supposed to be on the disk? So it couldnt delete, but i continued and installed it on that partition (C: ) thinking that after words it will ask me to format. IT didnt.. and i now have 2000 and XP installed and i dont wanna multiboot. I tried going run the format c:, but it wouldnt let me heres wat it said: Format cannot run because the volume is in use by another process. Format may run if this volume is dismounted first. ALL OPEN HANDLES TO THIS VOLUME WOULD THEN BE INVALID. WOuld you like to force a dismount on this volume y/n. If put y or n it just closes either way. What do i do??? Im new this. This was going to be the first time id reformat.
i am using xp home on an hp pc (therefore no recovery discs). after a blackout, i got the unmountable boot volume blue screen. i have searched the forums, talked to hp and got the same answers. the problem is none of them work.i cannot restart in safe mode or last good configuration. a friend made the 6 xp set up floppy disks for me and theat gets me into the repair and once there, chkdsk does not work. i have tried both /p and /r and both times i get the message: autochk.exe could not be located in either the startup directory or the cdrom drive.type the full path <including drive letter> for the location of autochk.exe
when I woke up this morning and booted up the computer, I noticed it kept restarting.So, I pressed F8 at startup and tried don't restart after system failure. I figured out what the it was. It was the blue screen of death telling me I had a Unmountable Boot Volume. I have tried all the other options to restart windows, even prompt doesn't work.
I installed Audigy sound card on my Pentium III 550 MHz, OS is XP. Sound is OK, media player, Power DVD etc are working fine. I have a TV tuner card and a program called TVR installed for watching TV. Ever since Audigy is installed when I turn on the TVR progrm the Line-in on volume control panel gets muted. I de-selected the Mute to enable Line-in. OK, it worked. Every time I restart the PC and if I run TVR I have to de-select the Mute button again.

So I try to go to my Volume Control and get this message:"There are no active mixer devices available. To install mixer devices, go to Control Panel, click Printers and Other Hardware, and then click Add Hardware. This program will now close." When I go to my Sounds And Audio Devices Properties, the tabs labled Volume, Audio, and Voice will not even highlight. The buttons that is, nothing works, they're all disabled or something.I guess I'm just having all kinds of problems with this new Windows installation.

Volume control is not installed on my windows xp and i went to the sounds and audio devices and clicked on the place an icon on the taskbar. A message appeared as it wasn't installed.
Recently after installing a new sound card after having problems with my previous on board card and when i use the volume slide bar i get a weird dong noise when adjusting the volume level.
I am doing a repair install of my windows XP. The program is asking for the volume licence nr. When I enter the number on the disk it says that the nr is invalid. Is there any way to retrieve this information from my old installation. I cannot get into windows because of an Harddrive error that was repaired.
I then went to the recovery console after booting from the XP CD and tried chkdsk /p with NO success. I was given a different BSoD with a new error relating to the ntfs.sys file and a stop code of: 0x00000024 (0x001902FE, 0xF78FE905, 0xF78FE600, 0xF7F8E2BD) referencing memory address F6F3E2BD @ F6EF0000. I then ran the dell utility to check HDD structure and memory and the diagnostics came back clean ... NO errors, NO problems.I tried googling those stop codes, but didn't get anything useful back. I need some help with this please. Would copying a new ntfs.sys file help? I am using Acronis Disk Director Suite 10 to view file system and structure and I can see all the files on the disk from the Acronis CD and have the capability to edit files as well if that is needed. Someone please help ... I NEED to at least get this PC to a bootable state to transfer files off it.
