No sound after turn off the computer

I got windows xp pro sp2, and my pc is Emachine 2682 with Ac97 driver, no sound card; no disk installation. The software came with the pc. I do know what happend but no more sound in my pc. After download the driver from Emachine web site and install it' works fine; but after turn off the pc and and turn the pc on again the sound doesn't work still. I have done this lots of time but still no result. How can I make the sound work on my pc again?
P.S the only difference is that I get a screen that dosen't let me enter to see my device manager (date Execution Prevention. Run a DLL as an App) after my last windows xp update .

I'm confuses - no sound card ? - how is it supposed to generate sound?

Ryan_R

I think he means the sound is on-board.

Have you tried a System Restore and scanned for viruses?

You should also be aware that the CD that came with your computer (if it IS the T2682) is a Windows XP "RECOVERY CD". Read Chapter 5 (Page 37) of the pdf User Guide (link in last comment) for details of using the Recovery CD.

It will only give you 2 options:

1. Restore Windows XP
2. Boot to Command Prompt from CD-Rom.

**** NOTE ***
Option No. 1 WIPES your hard drive and reinstalls Windows back to how it was when it left the factory. All your documents, images, emails, etc will be GONE!!

I am just giving you this warning in case anybody suggests repairing Windows by reinstalling from the CD.

The efforts and cooperation of experts to figure out the problem without so much as a word from the asker are amazing, LOL.

Merete

Yeah agree, could be their computer may have died?
So hows the weather your way ;P

Ryan_R

I'll pretend the question was directed at me and say "not too bad - had some great weather last week but today is overcast and gloomy".

What about you with all those floods up north?

Merete

Too humid for me Ryan, luckily all the rain runs down hill to the coasts
The dams are filling I see for the southerners.
Must say love the free fireworks lightening storms at night.
I hope octo0o0o0 enjoys the emails :)

If we personally go over to a computer to fix something - any IT guy will tell you that they do some quick tests and get feedback from the monitor (usually) - but since we can't do this here - you need to provide that feedback for us when we ask more questions and get you to try stuff out. It might not make a lot of sense to you - but it triggers off things in our mind as we read your feedback as to what the problem might be.

So - after a few of us asked you to try a System Restore (for example) - we would expect one of the following types of feedback from you:

a) - I did the Restore but it still doesn't work.
b) - I tried the System Restore but Windows said it couldn't restore properly
c) - I did the System Restore and everything works now - thanks
d) - What's System Restore?

So is at a, b, c, or d? :o)
If you could answer the other questions as well that would also be great.
Thanks.

octo0o0o0 you may have a problem.
send a request to the bugs zone and let them know you have not been receiving emails from EE, some others here are having the same problem.
Then they can take a look and se if you have some bounce issues.

I had no internet for over 24 hours with the storm must have hit the lines some where but emails all work okay.

Merete

octo0o0o0, have you forgotton your open question?
do you still need further assistance?

Shane Russell

Another thing to do provided the asker comes back to this question is to go to start --> run

and type or copy and paste the following and press enter or click ok.

eventvwr.msc

and look in the system section or else where in there to see if there are any audio related errors. Then post back with the event id and description.

the above is the same as going to control panel --> admin tools --> event viewer

You can now close your own question using the delete link.

Ryan_R

Shouldn't a CV have picked up this question by now?

*Makes sure question isn't in one of my zones* - Nope - all good :)

Merete

Yeah I agree, I was just looking for an old answer in my history questions my account.. and noticed so many still open, before I knew it I was heading back to may 2007 still open.
So decided to send a friendly reminder.
Just helping them out. :)

Ryan_R

Only helping if the asker does decide to close - otherwise we have to wait 3 weeks again for this question to become officially abandoned
