No sound by
atwood
Hmm. well I have been trying to sort this out for days. I just
reformatted from XP to Vista: P5k-E (MB), which had SoundMax on it. I
don't know what I am doing so have followed forum directions to disable
these drivers. I installed a sound card (Creative X-Fi) and the computer
won't detect it. Took it to a shop and they were more useless than I am.
It's not in a PCI-E slot and the card itself is...

Here's the deal...
I got a new Gateway FX530XM with Vista Home Premium (32bit). It has two

I've had this issue for quite a while. i've installed sound driver after
sound driver and I still can't get sound. When I open the mixer, I don't see
the default "Windows Sound" or any of the applications that are open. Also,
when I try to play an MP3 in Winamp I get this error message, "Bad

DVD/CD drive by
pmh532
I read the posts regarding the lost drive, and I have somewhat of the same
problem. Mine disappears, but if I restart my computer, it is there again.
I am not at all comfortable in editing the registry. Is there some other,
easier solution, or will I just have to restart it each time this happens?
I am using Vista Premium on a 5 month old Dell.

Failure to find DVD burner on wakeup from sleep or hibernation by

I've checked the event log and it seems that every time this happens there
is an Event ID 15 cdrom entry. I've done some searching on the web but I
don't find a solution.
If I restart the computer the DVD burner shows up and works. This drive has

Lost CD/DVD Drives and Drivers by
Rich Greene
After reading this newsgroup, I haven't found a solution. Therefore here
goes.
My desktop machine recognizes two CD/DVD drives in BIOS, but that's all.
They don't show up in the device manager or Windows Explorer. It's as if
nothing at all is there. I figure I need to reinstall some drivers but
don't know
where to grab them. I'm using VISTA ULTIMATE with the latest SP.
Short of removing...
