    Yep, linney, that vinyl zip file had the drivers I needed. I've got sound again! Thanks everybody for the help.

    Lost sound on XP reinstall

    Re: rclarke250 post. I came across several sites that offered to scan my computer to look for (and fix automatically, some of them) missing drivers, etc. Aren’t these potential security threats? I notice that some of them advertise promises of “no adware, no malware, no viruses”, so presuably...

    Lost sound on XP reinstall

    Thanks for the help. Using those resources, I find that I have a hardware item called “multimedia audio controller” listed which does not have a driver. The device id is “PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_266E&SUBSYS_01791028&REV_03\3&172E68DD&0&F2” which, using the resources suggeted, I have translated to...

    Lost sound on XP reinstall

    I had to wipe my hard drive and reinstall everything from scratch, and somehow I lost all audio except system sounds (like beep from errors). It appears that I do not have drivers installed for whatever sound cards / audio devices I have, because under Contol Panel, Sounds and Audio Devices, it...

    False 404 errors blocking websites

    Yes, that dowload link works. Also, I was able to download that file and other needed TTS files from another host that I found. My TTS programs work correctly now and so the immediate need is gone, but I'm still a bit suspicious. It seems like I'm getting a lot more 404s than I used to. If ya'll...

    False 404 errors blocking websites

    What happens when you open a command prompt and run a tracert activex.microsoft.com" I don't now what that is, but it runs, says it's tracing routes to an address beginning with activex,then starts listing numbered items beginning with "launchmodem", which I happen to know is the program that...

    False 404 errors blocking websites

    Still having same trouble. Yes I'm using IE, version 8. I thought the suggestion about adding trusted site was one of those simple but brilliant things, but surprisingly it didn't work. The message changed, but it won't connect. The mesage nowsays "IE cannot dispay the webpage". I also tried...

    False 404 errors blocking websites

    I'm getting 404 messages (url does not exist) for valid sites that other people can call up. For example, this address http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/agent2/tv_enua.exe is for a TTS engine download that I need, and other people have told me they can connect to it. When I try...

    So it does exist, thanks. I'll work on getting around my firewall.

    MS Agent TTS engine no longer available?

    I need to download the Lernout & Hauspie TTS engine for MS Agent. I've found a dozen or more references to this location: http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/agent2/tv_enua.exe but when I try it I get a 404 error. I've seen stuff about microsoft planning to discontinue support for...

    Best config for heavy Excel usage

    P.S. Just noticed in the quote specs that SATA is specified on the hard drive already. "160 GB SATA, 7200 RPM

    Best config for heavy Excel usage

    Unfortunately, yes, my company is stuck on Dell. As for a future, that is fixed, whatever I get will be mine for 2 years and then I can upgrade again to whatever is current. Higher front side bus - is that the "L2 cache" thing? There's also a spec on the processor line on our quote sheet "2M...

    Best config for heavy Excel usage

    Using Task Manager is a good idea, except I don't know what most of the stuff means other than CPU usage - and that stays at 100% from the time of importing the data to when it finishes. I loaded a sample file, a small but typical version that I had already scaled down to run efficiently in the...

    Best config for heavy Excel usage

    I have NEVER had enough power to run the Excel worksheets I build at work. I always have to break them up into pieces and manually convert formulas to values to keep them from crashing my computer. Well, PCs keep getting better, and I've finally landed in a job where my boss sees that buying me...

    ROWTERMINATOR value for UNIX text file

    "'0x0a' - works " Why, yes it does - hurray! Thank you, vongrunt, and here's a little star. Now, for extra credit anyone, is there anyway to write the query so it will automatically work with either type of file? In other words, something like ROWTERMINATOR = '0x0a' or ROWTERMINATOR =...

    Denis, how would I use a format file here?

    ROWTERMINATOR value for UNIX text file

    The following code works with PC-format text files but not with UNIX-format text files. BULK INSERT gltran.dbo.pOneField FROM 'e:\acctg\SourceFiles\dailyfeed042.txt' WITH ( ROWTERMINATOR = '\n' ) I know I can convert my UNIX files to PC format with freeware (that's...

    silent agent

    Well, here's the solution, although I still don't know the reasons - I downloaded and installed the TTSE for microsoft Reader, the agent character file for Merlin, and the Agent language component, rebooted my system, and I had Merlin's voice back. I guess I should have done them one at a time...

    silent agent

    Well, I'm still working on this problem. I got the idea to load another program that I have which has different voices from Merlin's and which has to work on computers that don't have VB6 installed, and so does its own load of the MS text-to-speech software. When I loaded it, I did not get...

    silent agent

    Thans for the reply. Yeah, I checked that, both computers have merlin.acs in the same place. I tried a short script in the VB immediate window (load agent...: agent.speak "test") to see if I could make him speak, and it was the same, balloon words but no audio output. Does anybody know if there...
