Sound problem Hi to keep it short, I reloaded windows after I thought I had a virus and my computer wouldnt start. Since then I have had sound but only can adjust it using the screen icons, the buttons on the actual laptop no longer work. I have now installed windows vista for other issues and still cant control sound on laptop. I have downloaded all the possible drivers i can see on the acer website but dont know what else to do. My laptop is Aspire 5670. Thanks for your help.x

    I have the acer laptop Aspire 5670. I recently had to reinstall the windows vista cd thing. After I did this, I no longer had any sound of any kind. I have been all through the control panel regarding sounds and anything else remotely related to this problem. Everything says it is all working fine. When I try to adjust the volume, the bars go up and down accordingly, but still no sound. Nothing is set to mute. I have 6 separate buttons on the left hand side of my laptop. These are vol+, vol-,play/pause, stop, skip left and skp right. Before, if I pressed either of the volumebuttons, green bars would appear at the bottom of my screen to tell me the volume was increasing or decreasing or muted. Now, when I press these buttons, no green bars appear, but, like I mentioned before, when I have the sound settings from the control panel in view, the bars go up or down, giving me the idea the sound is working. I assume it must be a problem with the actual speakers, although, again, in the control panel, it tells me everything is working fine.

    On my laptop I have to use a Fn button at samt time to use special keys, is yours the same?

    If you have changed operating systems then that may complicate things. In the control panel you will see icon for keybopard, or interface device. Open it up and see if you have options to turn on or reset anything.

My Gateway e 2100 series desktop encountered a virus problem, I installed kaspersky internet security to remove the virus and when I restarted the computer the operating system will not come on. I then...

It IS probably possible to get your data off the drive. Even before you try to use any sort of recovery disk to reload Windows, you should try to pull the important data off the drive. You can pull the drive out and use something like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812232002

plug your drive into another computer using the adapter to get the data off of it...and TEST the data to make sure it opens properly after you copy it over. You don't want to have a corrupted backup. Once you have the data backed up and tested, you need to find a copy of Windows to reload on your machine. I am sure it's possible to repair your Windows installation and remove the virus, but really it's probably not worth it.....You are most likely better off to just install a fresh copy of Windows and get rid of everything and start over from scratch. It's not really as daunting as it sounds as long as you have your data backed up you are in good shape. To reinstall Windows you can use articles found here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/help/install-reinstall-uninstall

Good luck...and try to keep backups of your data...always have at least 2 copies that are not on the same drive and not in the same computer.

Applications Closing Instantly

Yes, it sounds like a computer-virus.
Remove the disk-drive from your desktop computer,
and attach it as a "slave" disk-drive to some other desktop computer, and then run a full virus-scan.

Or, just follow "best practises":
* backup your data & music & E-mail & contacts,
* reinstall Windows from trusted media,
* run Windows Update a bunch of times,
* reinstall anti-virus software,
e.g., http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials
* reload your files.

Operating System infected by Trojan Horse. My

Restart your computer, and keep pressing F8, until you get the Windows "start-up" menu -- white text over a black background.
Choose "Safe Mode", and see if you can logon.

Then, try one (or more) of the anti-virus scanners listed at:

When I doubleclick on 'my computer' icon, window freezes

Make sure you do not have virus? sounds like virus freezing your windows applications. Scan your computer if there is nothing, reload windows, seems you installed corrupted version or cd.

Our Acer laptop we think crashed because it will not load and keeps restarting before it will show the login screen. How do we fix it?

I recommend Norton Anti-Virus. If that does nto detect and remove the problem then reload windows. There was a virus that caused this problem on Windows machines but there is also a situation that windows gets stuck in after doing updates on occassion. If it is the later the only solution I know that works is to reload windows or hold teh F8 key while you turn the computer on and select restore to a previous date that you know it was working.

After using my ibm computer for about hours;when i drag the mouse it forms some sort of scratch like marks and when i restart the computer it would work better for few minutes

Sounds like something is eating up your RAM in the computer, possibly a virus or maybe just a bunch of programs running in the background. Run a virus scan at housecall.trendmicro dot com and if nothing is detected you will have to run through your startup programs using msconfig from the start > run menu. On IBM laptops the video card memory is shared with the main computer memory and if it is clogged up you will notice stuff like this, symptoms sometimes can be not being able to see your icons on your desktop as well. It sounds like this computer could use a full reload of windows and starting anew. No matter how well you try to maintain your computer it gets congested over time with unused dll files and registry entries. I would recommend you backup your files after getting a clean virus scan and re-install windows. This should be done every 6-12 months to keep your computer in the best shape possible. My email is kustom42 at gmail.com, feel free to follow up with me and I can walk you through this if you need me more details. :)

Windows xp opens and closes right away

Hi! i can understand your problem. It happened to me once. I tried to run the PC in the safe mode but on safe mode it doesn't run the antivirus program. If you have your harddisk of IDE type then connect your friend's hard disk in your PC as a Slave and Yours as a master.
You can do this from your bios setup.
Then Scan his hard disk by your antivirus software and remove all the virus from his Harddisk.

OR else you can reinstall his Windows.

Freezing and restarting

This is generally a hardware issue. However, it could very well be that a virus has corrupted the system, and is causeing the hardware issue. Start by checking the memory. A bad memory chip is the most common cause for a problem of this nature.

No taskbar or start menu?

Sounds like you have format your drive. Good practice is to leave a partition for just Windows and the other for the rest.
