Help! Let somebody assist, I formatted my pc yesterday but its sound has disappear. it displays "no audio device" pls what can i do. (aboxphem@yahoo.com or 08068045904). Thanks
download this software and run it http://www.zhangduo.com/udi.html, it's called unknown device identifier, it should tell you the name of your sound card and give you the option of searching for it's drivers. . .

once again, formatting your computer should be the last option. . .

@netotse, plz do u know any link & activate code 4 dvd player
bros go and download vlc player from videolan.org and stop disturbin urself from all his dvd activation code wahala. vlc will play any dvd in the world and most formats of video and audio in existence, with super quality output too. its free to download and need no activation.
besides how can u be asking for dvd player activation and u dont even mention the name of the software! GET VLC.

BROS the zain connection on pc will work if you use the internet.ng.zain.com apn.
i presume you are on vista? thats what happens on vista when u dial up zain with the wap apn.

ur settings should be: apn-: internet.ng.zain.com
username: internet password: internet.
incase your sim has not been activated for that apn, call customer care o!

on xp even wap works perfectly

Dear Curiousman66,

Thanks for all your enquiries, follow this link
to download sound drivers and make sure is compatible
with your operating system type. I believe there's something
you are doing wrong or not telling us. I would like to advice you to
try playing youtube video then test.

Good luck !

Dear Ebuks,

Thank you for the above enquiry. before diagnosing one problem at a time, we would like to know
if this is a laptop or a pc ? Has this ever occured and when does it start ?

Do you use UPS for backup when Nepa take light or have you had any power cut/storm recently ?

Is this XP or Vista. would you explain better by Unless thrugh av mode and only when pluged electricity.

My understanding of AV mode is,instead of using the computer to transfer data to the moniter it will transfer it to a tv.

Could  this mean no display when powered up ? Good luck

Som1 hlp: it was stated in my toshiba satellite l10-117 manual dat my laptop is wifi enabled and if i press the hotkey fn+f8 it'll be switch on, i've tried dat but it didn't work, and accordin 2 d manual it also shows dat at d bottom of my laptop dat there's a WIRELESS LAN COVER, after tryin, i opend d cover it was lyk a ram slot but looks smaller a bit and there's notin dere, it was empty, so i'm thinkin dat maybe d device may be missin. Plz gurus i wnt u 2 tell me if dis is d reason my wifi is disabled, and if there's any oda way i could connect wirelessly.
THANK U IN ADVANCE

Hello 1stknight,

Here's the specs from tosh website http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=EU&DISC_MODEL=0&ACTION=PRINT_WITH_BACK&com.broadvision.session.new=Yes&PRODUCT_ID=101681

My prescriptions is to click start > computer > C drive or vista C > toshiba folder >driver > WLAN
click on your wireless type and folow on screen instructions > restart the computer for changes to take effect.
to verify you have succesfully installed the driver click start > run > devmgmt.msc > network adaptor. what can you see underneath ?  could be the wireless is disabled in the bios, who knows ?
Good luck and thanks for enquiring

I'm not confident in asking you to get a new usb wifi card unless we can prove it.
follow the diagnostics our tecs has prescribed and give us feedback. take your time
and i would like to tell you something, computer is the process of elimination. so, follow my
colleagues advice

Sometimes pdf files have passwords that would restrict you from printing.

pls skylander, how do i block some porn sites dat my colleagues normally visit on my system when am not on seat in the office?
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by Nobody: 2:37pm On Mar 25, 2010
Try using windows firewall to set the restricated levels. Or use internet options on explorer to restrict access to such sites.
For more information try using help and support. It should guide you further.
