@phat200
Did you try disabling then re-enabling your audio driver?

Following your suggestion, I did that. The problem remains.

I also uninstall the driver; restart the PC; and the OS reinstall the driver. Still have no sound.

Thanks for all the responses.

My speaker is not on mute; and all the connections are fine.

When I power on my PC today, there is the usual Windows sound on launch. So the sound port/card is working fine also. However, after launch, there is no more sound of any kind – system sound, hulu, etc. I double check the speaker/volume icon in the system tray; and it is not mute.

I am on Windows 7 Pro.

TIA

Today, all of a sudden, I found I have no sounds on my PC – system sounds; Hulu, etc.

The lights on the speakers are on; and I didn’t touch the plug into my audio port on my PC.

Would could be the problem?

Thanks.

Anyone know of any reputable Charitable organizations for children & women?

I did a factory reinstall and the network works fine now.

I set up a workgroup in Win10 (PC1) with the same workgoup name as that on Win7 (PC2). Both PCs are displayed under Network on both PCs. However, they won’t connect. When I on PC1 and click on the PC2 icon, it want me to login. I don’t recall that I have to do that when all my pcs are running Win7. So, I put in my Username and the PCs password (PW)’ and it tells me that it is not valid. The same thing happens when I did it on PC2. So I lookup Network Password and I added a Windows Credential on both PC – Same Username and PW on both. PC1 can now open folders on PC2; but the the other way around – Win7 PC can get to the Win10’s folders. I “shared” the Download folder on Win10; and I can’t get to it from PC2 (Win7).

What am I missing?

TIA

I want to install Win7 pro 32bit in the Virtual PC. I have a win7 ISO. Can I use the Win7 serial# from another PC on this? This pc replace the other PC I am taking the serical# from. Then I will recycle the old PC without the OS.

I am using Win10 Pro’s Hyper V for creating Virtual PC. I created a partition to install the Virtual PC and Win7 in.

In HyperV, I select “Local Installation Source” and change the location to the ISO image file. And I checked the box “This virtual machine will run Windows (enables Windows Secure Boot)” But when I click “Create Virtual Machine”, it flashes by very quickly and tell me it is finished. And it won’t start. It didn’t ask me where I want to install it. And it was to quick to have installed window 7.

What is the right way to do it?

TIA

@rick505 said in Problem with my Desktop internet:

Easiest to check is change the port on the switch, I presume more than two ports, and see what happens. Also, swap laptop and desktop ports and see if the problem follows the port or device. I presume you’ve rebooted the desktop (just in case).

The problem is something with the VPN.

After some sleep, I noticed that my VPN shows it is connected to the VPN server. So it would indicate that there is internet on my desktop. So I disconnect the VPN and the internet is working fine. It was working fine with the VPN all along. I don’t know what I accidentally changed – the laptop is working fine with the VPN on. It happened after I updated the VPN software on the laptop; but I didn’t touch anything on the desktop VPN. I’ll have to compare the settings on the 2 computers.

I have a laptop and a desktop (PC). Both are connected to the same switch < Router < Cable Modem. When I boot up my PC about 1 hour ago, the internet was working. Then it stopped working.

To keep it short, TWC rebooted my signal. I rebooted the modem, router and the PC (in that order) and check the network cable connections on both ends. The PC’s internet is still not working.

My laptop is on the same network; and it is working fine.

Attached is a pic of my Network sharing Center. There is a RED checkmark on the line to the Internet. I guess that means the PC’s internet is not working. The network adapter properties says it is working properly.

So what could be the problem?
TIA

For the lat week or so, every time I launch Firefox (v 69.0), I was directed to a web page with the message:

“It seems that an issue caused all filters to be removed and we were unable to restore a backup. Therefore we had to reset your filters and Acceptable Ads settings. Please check your filter lists and Acceptable Ads settings in the Adblock Plus options…” It was working fine before.

I clicked on “Adblock Plus options”; but there was no save button. How do I get rid of that interruption by AdBlock???

TIA
