Problem with switching audio device.
by Guest MarcoArik- 0 replies
- 188 views
Are you guys using .8454 on a pc with more than 1 sound device? I don't know if it's Realtek, Nvidia or Windows fault, but seems like I can't easily switch between devices as before (like 2 days ago). I have headset(wired to pc) and speakers(wired to monitor), but, for some reason, I can't switch anymore just clicking on the Windows sound icon of the Task Bar. Even selecting monitor, and so speakers, it still uses headset. If I go in the Realtek app, clicking on the orange icon, it doesn't even detect more than 1 sound device. The only way to switch to monitor, is going in Windows Sound Device Manager and change Default device. Just to clarify: every device works f…

Installation of Windows 10 after change of hard disk
by Guest AnshulBhatia- 0 replies

Hi! I'm using Dell Inspiron N4110 laptop with following configuration - i5 (2nd Gen), 8 GB RAM, 500 GB hard disk, Radeon HD 7400M. The laptop originally came with Windows 7 home (with key) but i upgraded it to Windows 10 when free upgrade was being offered by Microsoft. There is more than 40% space empty in the hard disk. Have tried defragmentation, disk cleanup, Registry cleaning, virus scan run. Yet the hard disk starts consuming 100% usage in task bar. Which lead me to the conclusion that it might be at the end of its life since it is almost 7 years old. Now, I want to change my internal hard disk. How should I proceed? Should I install windows 7 and wil…

Windows 10 issue: "Cannot find a system image on this computer"
by Guest DavidMonaghan1- 0 replies
- 156 views
I just reinstalled windows 10 Pro (64 bit) and after all the updates were done I created a system image using the in-built create system image option (See #1 in the screenshot below). I saved it to a secondary internal HDD and it appeared to work OK. I wanted to test the image so I set about to do a recovery. So I went to the "Backup or restore your files" option in the old style control panel (menu item Control Panel\System and Security\Backup and Restore (Windows 7). This page indicated that a backup had not been set but gave the option to "Select another backup to restore file from"(See #2 in the screenshot below) . I select it and for some reason windows doe…

problem activating windows 10
by Guest AiridasV- 0 replies

Hello, I have just bought myself a new computer from a company with windows 10 (disc). Some sort of Windows was installed but It wasn't activated. So I thought I need to install the one from the disc, but when I install that version of Windows it still said that I need to activate it because my last version was not. Now it just says that I am running a non- genuine version of Windows. There should probably be a cd key on the box the disc was in but I can't find it. There is some sort of pink layer and above it it says: Gently scratch to Reveal product key,but it doesn't scratch off. Continue reading...

Hello guys, I recently set up a virtual machine (e5 xeon, windows 10 database 2016) to play Fortnite. I installed the Epic launcher until there was a message telling that NET Framework 3.5 could not be installed. But this is probably not the main issue. After I downloaded Fortnite in the launcher and tried to start it, an error message appeared which tells I have not installed DirectX 11 feature level 11. I checked the drivers, used an emulator and tried to update the machine(it didn't work). Now I don't know what I should do. Greetings Continue reading...

Recycle bin issue in Windows 10 Here's my other thread ^ As you can see, I've been completely unable to delete files from my recycle bin. It has piled up over 170,000 files now that I am unable to delete. When I right click it, it just freezes. When I open it, wait for a long period for files to load, and then try to delete said files, my computer completely freezes again. I tried safe mode, which wasn't much help. I tried "RD /S /Q C:\$Recycle.bin" in the command prompt and restarting, which did nothing. At this point, I don't know how to fix this at all. I need your help, please. Continue reading...

I bought a new laptop with Windows 10. While logging in for the first time, it will ask for microsoft account / skype username etc. I gave the wrong skype username and then clicked on reset password. Now I am in the 'Verify your identity' screen and it is asking for a way in which I want to get 'security code' to get the password reset. As this is nt my ID, I want to go a step back and give my correct ID. How do I do that? This is blocking me from using my new laptop. Continue reading...

So recently I updated my windows to the latest version. With that came the Family feature. So Automatically I was sentenced to a child acount. To my knowledge I cant leave my "Family" without an "Adult" to remove me but I can't acces the family member at all. To be honest I have no idea who the adult is. I tried accessing a website wich will remain enomynous and it relocated me to a menu asking me if I wanted to send an email to the adult to allow acess to this website. Still I cannot gain acess to the adult acount so now I am stuck with no way to leave the family. I have tried another way wich is to turn it off from my computer in the firewall settings but that has not c…

I installed windows a few weeks ago, and its the latest updated version. The sound settings look very different. My problem is that the microphone from my usb headset is not working in applications like Discord and the video game I play. The usb headset is set to the default communication device and the speakers work fine. When I go to the properties and the Listen tab I turn on Listen to this device , hit apply and I can hear the microphone working just fine. But in Discord my voice chat software even when the device is selected as the microphone it does not work. It also does not work in the video game I play. My devices are listed here.

HP Laserjet 4/4 plus printer driver not working on win10
by Guest ChrisDziewior- 0 replies

I am trying to install my network attached HP LaserJet 4 plus printer on my new Win10/64 laptop. I go through the process and point to the correct IP address, create the port, use Windows Update, select the correct printer, name the printer, and when the driver tries to load, I get a message that says: "Print Driver Not Installed", and it returns to the name the printer screen. I was able to install the driver by downloading it from the MS Update catalog web page (Microsoft Update Catalog), but you would think it would work using the windows update button when installing the printer since it lists the correct printer. It seems to be an issue with that particular printer, …

Touchpad issues

My touchpad won't turn off since the latest update. The previous one turned it back on after I had turned it off very deliberately, and made it so it was always on when I booted up the computer. I believe I uninstalled the driver, but it reinstalled it and took away the ability to remove it. I was using Fn+F3 to turn it off since then, but the newest update made it so not even that works. I am most frustrated by this, and it seems to me that removing functions from a computer is something that is the antithesis of an upgrade. My computer is an MSI. Continue reading...
