Hi, everyone My friend has this Pentium 4 Gateway laptop with Windows XP Professional installed. One day she booted up her laptop and found that it wouldn't produce any audio any more. She has tried reinstalling the windows, but it won't work. We suspect that it is a hardware problem. The...

Hi, paparazi, Yes, I originally suspected PCB problem that too. I did try plugging the enclosure to more than one computer, one was the "native" XP Pro, one was SP1, and a third one with SP2 installed. (All pro version) The hard disk or DVD burner are both working fine if they are used as...

Hi, ImpetusEra Thanks for your reply. Yes, the enclosure is fully powered up, I can hear the fan spinning, and some noises for the hard disk or the DVD burner. The jumper is set to master. It is just that there is no icon showing up in the explorer. Sometimes, the computer reports a Mass...

Hi, Codeman The enclosure I believe is actually generic. I bought it from eBay. The seller advertised that the enclosure used a chipset called Cypress AT 2+, and there should be no compatibility issue with this chipset. I have checked, and didn't find any jumper. And for the driver thing you...

Hi, guys I have this 5.25 USB 2.0 external enclosure. What bothers me is that Windows (XP PROFESSIONAL) can't recognize whatever I put inside the enclosure, either it is a hard disk or a dvd-burner. The hard disk and the dvd burner are both working properly if they are attatched to another...

Hi, all, Tried minimizing the hardware first, and then putting back devices one at a time. It helped. However, I still couldn't locate what might have caused the problems. I believed it should be a loose connection problem, just not sure where. But at least it is up and running again...

Hi, everyone, I have this HP computer with Windows XP professional installed working smoothly. Yesterday, I opened the computer tower to do a little cleaning(removing some dust or other stuff). I did disconnect some wires from the optical or hard drives, but I put them back, CORRECTLY. I am...

Hey, everyone I am working on a project that requires some background in multimedia manipulation. But the various formats and one other so-called container format seem very confusing. What I have understood so far is that CONTAINER formats don't really have anything to do with the compression...

Hi, everyone I just started to learn audio and video authoring, (teach myselt though, not in any educatonal institute) but got really confused about some terminology. Would really appreciate for any help. Is codec the same as format? I saw an article saying "a video codec/format called MPEG-4...

Hi, guys, I met a serious problem and desperately need your help. Because of some unknown reasons, my computer was not able to access files from a partion of a USB external hard disk, it reported that the disk was "corrupt and unreadable." I used PartitionMagic to convert the file system of...

Hi, guys I have a Gateway laptop that recently would not make any sound at all. I have reinstalled the necessary drivers, including that ones that came with my laptop and the updated version (on spearated trials, not installed together) on a clean-installed system, but wouldn't help. I suspect...

Hi, guys I am thinking about upgrading to Photoshop CS2 from PS 6.0. But I am concerned about the stability of the newer version on my system and what new features CS2 could actually provide. I know the best way to do this is to try it myself. But is the tryout version EXACTLY the same the...

Hi, Guys, I am planning to purchase a copy of Paint Shop Pro X. But as I did some research about this products, I found some negative comments about it. But I am not sure if they are true or just some misconceptions. Many claimed that Paint Shop Pro X (and also previous versions) didn't save...

fumei: sorry, just checked, it is indeed Help file, not the application itself. thanks

fumei: I know it comes in the application, but I manually chose not to install it. (We could choose to install what we need during the setup process.) Thanks though. I want to be able to run macros from other people. But I didn't install that component because I know absolutely nothing about...

Hi, guys, I just installed Office XP on my computer. But since I don't know how to program in VB, I didn't install the Visual Basic for Application (Something like that, don't remember the exact name.) I believe that VBA is used to write macros for the office applications.(By the way, is it...
