My laptop is a Toshiba Satellite Pro L40, it had a problem due to a virus and it was formatted and since then, the sound is gone. I have tried to download different sound devices but none worked.
Please advice me on what to do.

You might want to go back to an older IE because there has been lots of reported problems with the newer IE that are out if you can find IE 5 to like 7 you should be up again. Goodluck

Double N:

Done all that even tried the Fn F7 i saw on the internet but it refuses to move.The mouse is still in the middle of the screen.

well i say if you can get into device manager, uninstall the driver for the touchpad and reinstall it or better yet go to the manufatures web pae download the driver for the toouc pad and install it maybe that might help.

someone also wrote to hard shut down by pressing and holding the power button till it shuts down which is supposed to reset software changes (dont know how true this is)

Try going in safe mode and see it works in safe mode and maybe you can change what ever setting you changed in there

If the hard drive is not formatted and partitioned then you need an operating system i.e xp, vista or 7.
Also note that some people would just use the whole disk for one operating system hence you wont see different partitions on the hard drive.

It sounds to me like the hard drive was not properly installed if you have to press on the case to make the contacts touch. you might want to check the snap that holds the HD in place if it is one of those types of laptop. also have someone look at the connector pins to make sure they are not damaged or worn out. If you can find a similar laptop, maybe you can put your hard drive in so as to trianglate the problem.

Did you recently install a new operating system? if you did, you might want to re-install it again because the blue screen can be an indication of software corruption. if you do install the new OS go to your computer's manufacturer web site to get drivers for the computer. Chances are you will still have that dvd problem if that happens hit me back and i'll tell ya what to do

Have you purchased a Windows 7 OS?
Re: Post Your Laptop Problems Here For Free Advice. by omega25red(m): 9:51pm On Dec 16, 2009
what do you want to do? fresh install? or you want to have vista and 7 both.

to do a fresh install you will need the 7 disc and put it in the comp and restart it will tell you to push a button to boot from cd and follow instructions and you should be good.


to have both you will need both disks vista and 7 and start by partitioning your drive so that you can install the other one on the free partition

I have more questions: have you seen someone else connect with that same cable or jack that doesn't seem to work for you or is it the whole cafe you can't connect with? Can you connect in other places? and did you ask the cafe owner if they have to give you a special ip address for you to get on thier network?

for now i say try a different cable and please answer the questions above.

I think you might want to check the manufacturers web site to down load the driver for that modem and manually install it on your computer because for some reason your usb connection is not automatically installing it. By the way check your device manager RUN -devmgmt.msc -enter
and see if your usb device is working properly

i wonder which program you are talking about but you can check control panel add and remove programs to see if the program is still installed on your computer. if it is, the right click the document you want to open and scroll down to "open with" click on this and a couple of program lists will open up. If you do not see the program you wanted, it also gives you a chance to type the name of the program you want or to further browse your computer for that program assuming it is still installed in your computer. hope that helps
