magical_trevor Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 k, I have a big problem. I was just opening some files with my rightclick button of my IntelliMouse Explorer 2.0 Mouse and suddenly the rightclicker refused to work. I have re-connected everything, restarted the PC, changed the batteries but still it won't work. Any suggestions ? Didn't that virus that went around MSN a while ago (I think it was the Bropia worm) disable right clicking? Did you accept any files through MSN messenger with a .pif extension? or names like naked_drunk? It's quite likely to be a hardware problem, but if it happens when you use other mice in your PC, then it's worth doing a virus scan just to be sure.

Barbaneez Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 (edited) This is starting to get annoying as plain hell. Thanks to this error, I haven't been able to listen to music nor video with audo, nor plain audio.. for about the past five months. How the hell do I fix it?

Reincarnated Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 @Reincarnated : Use this along with this. Hope that helps Tried it. But the thing is the video comes out correct on the computer (sound and video is sync), but whenever I burn it, and play it on the tv, the sound comes after. I think nero is encoding it incorrectly, and unsyncing it, but I don't know for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think nero is encoding it incorrectly, and unsyncing it, but I don't know for sure. I'd imagine it possible that whatever file it is, the program syncs the audio. Maybe if you convert it to a different format and then try burning it? Barbaneez - Maybe a driver problem? Something kind of like that happened with me a while ago, I had to reinstall the sound drivers and it worked like a charm. Except now my computer sometimes restarts when theres 2 or more audio going on at the same time... Thanks -shaDow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CantTouchThis Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 Back with the same problem. K. I don't have a Windows XP Pro boot disk, so I downloaded some .exe from microsoft called "WinXP_EN_PRO_BF.EXE". I copied this file to a CD and attempted to boot the CD drive only. It will go to thee black screen and then the typing cursor thing will appear, then it will do the same thing listed above...I'll see if I can quote the post before this so you can check it out. I'm having a bit of computer trouble. K, so today I was browsing the internet when I get a message that some files were missing from Windows, and that would would effect its stability. I attempted to close the window, but it kept popping back up. I rebooted Windows, it went through the Compaq loading screen and then the Windows loading screen, right as you see the blue backround of the password prompt screen, the computer restarts the process. I've attempted to boot in safe mode, not knowing if it'd work...but it didn't. My laptop's using Windows XP Pro. Help would be greatly appreciated. And...

Reactor. Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 For some reason the right speaker in my headphones has stopped working. I don't know why it would do this, but just an hour ago I was listening to music and it was working fine. Between then and now they haven't been thrown around or anything else that could damage them. Is there any way to find out whether this is actual damage to the hardware or the computer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke2004 Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 You tried getting sound out of your computer any other way? Plugging in some speakers, to see if they work. - Luke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalpura Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 So I run dual LCDs, each with built in speakers. Now when you have sound going to both, it makes it rather confusing, in the sense there's no left and right channels, at least that's how it sounds. So my question is; is there a plug, or cable, or something I can buy to have one monitor as the left channel, and one as the right? I'm after a name, so I know what I'm asking for and don't look like an idiot come time to buy it. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SloStenRacing Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 (edited) Alright guys, I remember hearing from someone, somewhere, sometime that Windows XP had a feature where you could like make a save point and if your computer ever crashed or got f*cked up that you could then revert back to that save point. Is this an automatic thing or do you have to manually do it? Also would this cover if you lost a bunch of important files needed to run windows, like say for instance a spyware/malware program deletes a bunch of files in your System folder, then would that reverted save point still have those files intact or would they still be wiped off and the spyware still be there? I think this might be System Restore points. However, mine don't seem to work well or I am not using them right. Is there anyway to manually make one of these points? And if I do want to go back to one of these points how do I do it? I am not sure if this is what I am referring to above so if there is another feature in XP that fits better with the up above description please let me know.

Tornado Rex Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 vsnpt513 looks like spyware according to Google. You can also disable qttask (it's for Quicktime, but will work fine without enabling the startup option). You can also get rid of NeroCheck and realsched (IIRC the two programs, Real and Nero, shouldn't freak out). The rest of the things are up to you. I didn't Google all of them, mainly the ones that looked legit to me. The few I did Google came up as various legit programs so you'll probably want to Google the name of the exe (i.e. NDSTray.exe) and see what comes up. If you don't use it, disable it. Sorry, but that's pretty much all the advice I can give ya. Good luck. Oh, you may want to run either Wolf's Scan's Lite™ or Wolf's Scan's Pro™. Either should suffice just fine. ~ Proud Supporter of the Child's Play Charity! | GTANET + Child's Play ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf68k Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 Start with Wolf Scans Lite™ and follow it with HijackThis and post the log, in a new topic, if you still think there is problem BTW, that one line in the first pic that has no discription it only list the HKey it's setting in...that I would worry about. Only if someone has something to hide would it not show up with anything useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ's other brother Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 ok here is my question: What do you need to know about your computer before you get more RAM?Or do you need to know anything at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIP YEK NOD Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 you need to know what size: if its an older computer, it will be 168 pin, if newer 184 pin. thats all i can think of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf68k Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 Helps to know what speed of RAM the mobo supports and what the max amount that it supports as well. There is where the mobo manual comes in. If you don't have a manual then look up your mobo specs online and for that you'll need to know the make and model number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are willing to do a little soldering you could easily make one. If you have a fancy sound card, there might be a speaker mixing configuration program you can use to simply transfer the left channels to front (left monitor plugged into the front audio out) and right to rear (and plug the other monitor in the rear place). If you have integrated audio, you could switch around those wire jumpers on jaud1 if all else fails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windows XP Home SP2 Need any other info just ask From your pictures, technically, all of that can be disabled for your computer to work. Nothing that appears in startup is needed by Windows, they're all third party software. If you want to do something extreme and start up your PC with *nothing* running then disable them all.

There is a utility in Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools called System Restore. By default it makes restore points every now and again, so you could run it, select restore to an earlier time, then see what you can do from there. If you dont have any restore points for whatever reason you could boot off your windows xp cd and do an automatic repair thingy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
