ASRock 11945-17b BIOS Version ConRoe 1333-D667 1.0, Intel Pentium dual cpu E2140 (64 bit supported) I've tried everything, from downloading all available realtek audio driver versions and even reinstalling windows but nothing works (earlier it was working fine with realtek 1.83). i don't have extra sound card installed, just the inbuilt motherboard sound device. i'm using windows xp sp2, everything was working fine until 2 weeks back. Also there was PCI Device error and SM bus controller error, it was fixed by installing updates but for audio driver nothing works not even updates. Is there any other audio driver for intel 945 motherboard other than realtek?…

I restarted my laptop with factory reset last night (I often do this with my devices, don't know why, I just like starting them over from scratch) but though I haven't had a problem with this before, when I got to the desktop, the button that takes me back to the home screen on the taskbar (picture included) is missing? And I have no idea how to get it back. Please help! This picture. I don't have that button anymore. I rely on that button a lot. I don't know why it's disappeared this time when I've reset my laptop a few times in the past.... Continue reading...

WINDOWS 7 IS LOOSING EXCEL / WORD FILES???
by Guest MarjattaNBXD- 0 replies
- 394 views
Hi, I have been experiencing this problem for actually almost 2 years (on two different laptops, both with Windows 7): I save a file by clicking at the appropriate icon, often however leaving the files open till tomorrow (though not always). Well, when that tomorrow comes, yesterdays version is nowhere: not on My Documents, not in Wastebasket nor on the menory stick where I nowadays save my stuff. This certainly does not occur daily but several times a month. I haven't asked about this previously as I tend to think that Windows cannot have such a terrible flaw but I can... This time I am a full 100% certain that I saved the work I did on Friday an…

Wajam is still out there!
by Guest ImaniMD- 0 replies
- 497 views
Thanks for previous posts about this but as those threads are now closed I wished to start this one to add to the history so that newbies are aware that Wajam is either piggy-backing other software or perhaps even already installed. I have just bought an ISUS computer, tried to log into my facebook account and wam! This thing is there taking over my computer. Prior to that my computer was 'resetting' for hours. Little did I know that was probably the Wajam trojan taking over my computer. Well having read previous posts I have tried the uninstall function and will send an email to them - not that I'll expect them to answer it. It will be interesting to see whether the uni…

Add additional return code for MpCmdRun custom scan
by Guest [RvdH]- 0 replies
- 526 views
in MSE there is a option to scan files by commandline using MpCmdRun, the only issue i have (false positives) is related to the returncodes. If a file cannot be scanned because for example illegal characters are in its filename MSE returns 2, meaning a threat/malware is found or additional user action is required. Would be nice to see an additional return code, for example 1 if additional user action is required and return 2 ONLY if a threat/malware is found Hope you consider adding this functionality Kind regards, Continue reading...

Hello everyone! I am trying to do a jukebox thing using slackware as my server with an index.php, .mp3 file and a .py file to run things without 3rd party packages as much as possible.

I have a php page that loads ok. Trouble is I am trying to execute a .py file to play a song, which if you run it from the terminal evoking the script it then cranks out the song .py #!/user/bin/env python -->…
