No Sound in Windows Vista
I was trying to watch a movie and could hear the music but the speech is so so quiet we can't hear what they are saying. We are running vista if that helps. Does anyone know how to fix this please? Also, we were able to watch movies through the pc to the tv when we attached an HDMI cable. The picture goes to the tv, but there is no sound and the pc has no visual. If anyone can help we would really appreciate it! Thanks! OT:Sound Advice View this thread

Deleted Vista Windows Mail Contact Gadget
Hi: I was trying to clear out then import the contact information in my Windows Mail Contacts Gadget. (It had not populated relative to my new list of imported email contacts.) Well, the Contact Gadget was deleted. I tried finding it on Microsoft's web page, so that I could download and reinsatll it, but the web page said something to the effect that only Windows 7 Gadgets were now being supported. Is there anyway or any place from where I can download this gadget. I have tried some Google searching, but so far have not found anyyhing. Thank you DaleB View this thread

In Windows 8, how do I scan a file to check for viruses?
I've just upgraded to Windows 8 and am finding my way around. This seems like a very basic question to ask but here goes .... Previously if I wanted to scan a file for viruses I would right click and choose "Scan with MSE". I can't do this in Windows 8 I had assumed that it would come up in the same way with "Scan with Defender" but it doesn't. So how do I scan a file for viruses? View this thread

results in error code 8007000D for KB2761451
Windows update has been returning an error code for Cumulative Update for IE 9. All other updates are successful. It've tried the Fix It three times and disable the Malware and Fire Wall to no avail. Why does Microsoft make updates that do not install? I just tried it again and now it gives a green flag and stated it was installed but further down it says failed? View this thread

BIG Problem with KB2762895
Ever since loading this "crtical" update the Find Text (usually Ctrl+F) box keeps initialising on my PC, and the annoying thing is the cursor goes into the text box on this Find Text screen. Even restoring to a point before I loaded it doesn't help as soon after it loads itself again, usually within about 20 mins. So while I may have my current session free of the dam Find Text box for some of the time, at the next time I start up it has re-appeared. So during my "clean" session the problem with the Find Text box is not there, but I can see from the Update History that it does, in fact, re-load itself and the problem returns. Even un-installing doesn't work, also making the update Hidden after the restore doesn't work. So the fault definitely lies with this update. Is there some way, any way, I can completely purge this update from my PC ?? I'm running Win 7 32bit View this thread

Forcing us to have an MS Account for touch apps, Taking away fucking options and features, Having a BROKEN system (fucking uninstall Mail.

False Low Disk Space
An SSD primary drive has about half of its space free, but once in a while Windows 8 suddenly gives a Low Disk Space warning. The properties window of the drive shows it has little free space left, but this is wrong. The following screenshot of Folder Size shows only 82.81GB is used, but the properties of the drive (C:) show that 167.10GB is used. Rebooting the computer will fix this. I have never seen this problem before using Windows 8, so I assume it is related to Windows 8. Could anyone shed some light on this? Hong View the full article

Windows 8 Pro creating Custom System Image problem
I created a custom system image by creating a directory "C:Refreshimage" and typing "recimg -Createimage C:Refreshimage" All from an elevated prompt. The system created a file "CustomRefresh.wim" in that directory. Later I searched "refresh", went to "settings","Troubleshoot","Advanced options", "System Image Recovery". The system rebooted, I selected my account, entered my password, hit "continue". Got the following response: WINDOWS CAN NOT FIND A SYSTEM IMAGE ON THIS PC. I need some help. I'm lost.

Windows Media Player does not work on Windows XP.
I was still having problems with my windows live messenger so I did a through cleaning of my computer for viruses and and anything else that might be corrupted and then I let a friend "fix" it believing him when he said he could. windows Media Player worked fine before he touched it and now it won't respond the same way. I also use Firefox as my main browser just to mention that so if anyone else who uses that engine might be able to help or does that matter at all for that player. he worked for 5 hours trying to get it to work right again but has finally given up. it also seems that every site that I thought might help ended up being for vista or windows 7-8. the windows media player does work just that I have to do a bunch of click on this and then that and then play. I just want it back to normal. thx for any advice Original title : how do I repair windows Media Player so it will automaticly play CDs or DVDsit stopped after I cleaned up my computer .
