    I thought the problem is the old Daniel_K 2.0 support pack driver which i installed 6 month ago. I formated my computer todey.
    Installed Windows, installed Ati display driver, than installed orginal Creative driver : 2.7.0008 (26. Juli 200). And then i started Starcraft 2 direct but i did not help. Because of that i think i must be a hardware problem...

  • Xfce4: Problems with Sound and Screen Locking on ASUS G53S

    Hello everyone,
    I recently installed Arch for the first time, and decided to use xfce4 for my desktop environment. Everything seems to work well after I followed the instructions given in the wiki, except for the sound and screen-locking functionality. Regarding the sound, I made sure that my user account is added to the audio group, and installed the gstreamer1.0-base-plugins and gstreamer1.0-good-plugins packages. The xfce4-mixer applet starts up without any warnings and recognizes the available devices, but I am still not able to hear any sound. The "Lock Screen" applet simply does nothing upon being clicked. Do you have any ideas as to what I should try in order to fix these problems?
    Thank you very much!

    To be able to lock the screen you have to install and configure a screen locker or screen saver, e.g. xscreensaver, slock, i3lock, maybe combined with  xautolock. When you use a screen locker and not xscreensaver, XFCE might not recognize it. Then create a symlink in /usr/local/bin/xflock4 or use a shellscript if you need to pass parameters.
    My configuration: xautolock with i3lock. /usr/local/bin/xflock4 is this executable shellscript:
    #!/bin/sh
    xautolock -locknow
    xautolock is started in the XFCE autostart with this commandline: xautolock -locker 'i3lock -d -i ~/Bilder/arch/arch-linux-lock.png'
    PS: If you like i3lock and need user switching capabilities, I can give you a patch where Ctrl-S calls a custom command (gdmflexiserver by default)

  • What can I do when my laptop makes an alarm sound and is frozen. I cant turn it off.

    Thank you It finally turned off. What can I do now to remedy this problem? I was able to turn it on again but it sounded the alarm again.

  • Ipod Touch 3G no longer plays clock alarm sounds and just pauses and shows alarm messages.

    All of a sudden, I am no longer able to hear clock alarm sounds like I used to.  Until recently, I was able to just play a music file, set the clock alarm with any sound from the selection while being able to preview the sound before I saved it, and then have it play at the time I set the alarm.  Now, whatever music I'm playing just pauses while the alarm goes off and the alarm messages are visble on screen. I went to settings--->general-->sounds and everything is on.  What happened here?

    Yes, I did. All I needed to do was raise the volume from zero to above using the *actual buttons on the side* of the device instead of just the touch screen volume control. If you try to adjust the volume using *only* the touchscreen volume control, the sound of your music and videos will be affected directly as you desire, BUT if the volume control from the *actual buttons on the side* is completely down, the alarm clock will not sound.
    I hope this helps. It may not make sense right off the bat but do give it a try.

  • Mac is making a whirring sound and screen is blank

    My 2008 desktop Mac started making a loud whirring sound in the middle of the right when it was left on.  It was turned off at the wall switch and when turned on in the morning, it started reving up with the same whirring sound and the screen was blank.  After on for a few minutes, a file folder icon appeared in the middle of the screen with a large question mark in it.  Mashing some buttons on the keyboard did nothing.  Had just upgraded to Snow Leopard.  Any suggestions?

  • When a try to turn on my macbook, a continuous alarm sounds and wont turn on. Just a white screen. Anyone know the problem

    I tried yesterday to get on my computer but when it began to power up it stopped showing a white screen while emitting a loud beep every 2 to 3 seconds and wouldnt stop. Anyone know what the deal is?

    If you experience one of these beeps, you should call your Apple-authorized service provider for additional troubleshooting assistance.
    1 beep = No RAM installed/detected
    2 beeps = Incompatible RAM type installed (for example, EDO)
    3 beeps = No RAM banks passed memory testing
    4 beeps = Bad checksum for the remainder of the boot ROM
    5 beeps = Bad checksum for the ROM boot block

    I solved this myself by removing all desktop files from the user account that was causing this, and placing them in to the documents folder instead. I think the computer couldn't keep-up with imaging the screen and while dealing with it's folder operations every time I logged into or out of this user. By clearing the desktop, I have had no more problems.

  • IPhone 5s randomy typing and screen freezing

    My iPhone 5s has recently started randomly typing letters when I'm texting or on facebook.  It also takes random photo's when in camera mode.  And the screen just freezes.  This doesn't happen all the time but can happen regularly.  Has anyone else experienced this kind of thing, and any recommendations to fix it?

    If you have changed the battery by yourself, there has probably been a hardware problem putting the phone back together again after that.
    But Apple will not check your phone if you did open the device by yourself.

  • Lagging and Screen Freezing After iOS 4 Update

    Hey all. I have the iPhone 3GS and ever since I updated the software to iOS 4, my iPhone has been lagging and freezing. The lag is significant. For example, I'll start typing something using the keyboard and the letters won't show up for another 5 seconds after I have tapped them (sometimes even longer, like 15 seconds because the screen temporarily freezes). My phone has also frozen before. Today, it froze for the third time in about a month. Last night, while charging and while I was watching videos on YouTube, the screen froze completely and I was unable to lock the screen, go Home, or turn off the phone to restart it. I had to unplug it from its charger and let the battery burn out. Has anyone else had the same problem? How do I fix it? Should I take it to an AT&T store or Apple Store? I would really appreciate your help. Thank you.

    Hey Zealia
    I also have the iPhone 3G and since I updated the software to IS0 4, my iPhone has also been lagging but not freezing as in your case. I agree that the lag is significant as it wasn't before the update. When I press the home to slide to open the phone and enter my pin number it takes about an extra 5 to 15 secs for the 4 satrs to show up and then another 10 sec for it to go to the home screen. When sending SMS it takes about the same time as you are experiencing with the 5 seconds gap between typing and seeing it on the screen and the send bar only appears as it gets to end of sending the message so never too sure if it is being sent or not until the bar appears at the last 5 secs at end of sending. It also lags when you open a SMS takes about another 10 - 15 secs before it opens nd the list just goes on. Not sure if other users are having the same problems or if APPLE are aware since the iOS 4 update of these issues. If anyone knows how to get in touch with APPLE to make them aware of these problems and that a fix is needed can you let us know? Thank you!!!

  • Satellite P20-771 with Windows 7: no sound and screen goes white

    Hi all.. I installed Windows 7 Ultimate on this machine. I tried latest Realtek AC97 drivers, the driver installs and everything seems fine but no sound is produced at all. As for Video Card I used some modded Nvidia Drivers 97.xx I found at Guru 3D.. there's no way to activate AERO, the pc hangs if I try.
    I set the system to turn off the screen after 10 minutes of no use.. it goes white instead. How so? Any clue? Also, does anyone know if there's any modded driver that can run AERO? All the ones I tried did not work.

    No, it's just a driver issue. I once had Vista running aero on an Nvidia 5200. It seems that FX 5700 can run Aero with Nvidia Modded Drivers 97.46 as for this post: http://www.vistaheads.com/forums/microsoft-public-windows-vista/78791-driver-per-toshiba-laptop-p20-771-nvidia-ge-force-fx-5700-trovatiiiiiiiiiiii.html
    However those same drivers won't enable aero under W7.
    Anyone knows anything about the audio issue and the white screen? I tried different modded drivers.. some will produce garbage on screen, other will reboot the machine if DX9 is involved. These 97.46 won't produce garbage but for example won't run Google Earth (hang the program) while 174.xx can...

  • Sound and video freeze up intermittently on MacBook Pro5,4.

    Hi, I have a MacBook Pro5,4 labtop, with a 2.53 GHz processor and 4 Gb RAM. In the last month I have started having problems while watching videos or listening to music on my labtop. It doesn't always do this, but often the sound/video will start freezing intermittently, somewhat like when streaming and your internet connection goes in and out. However, I am still able to do other things on my computer like surfing the internet or opening documents. I am wondering if anyone would know whether this would be something with the graphics or sound cards before I take it in to be fixed. Unfortunately since it doesn't do it all the time, I am afraid that the techs might not find anything wrong with it and the problem won't be fixed....any ideas?

    Hi Glo H,
    yes, you are correct on all counts...
    The way I work is that I cut & edit the clips and their music in iMovie 06, then "share" it with iDVD, and create a disk image. The preview in iMovie 06 is fine, and there is no sync-ing problem. I then preview the DVD in iDVD, before I create the disk image, and there is not sync-ing problem there either. After this, I insert a blank DVD, open the disk utility, and burn the disk image from there. Viewing that DVD is the first time in the workflow that I'm seeing this problem.
    I suspect this is to do with the very large files I'm fiddling around with: a 90-min DVD (from my 30 clips or so) had a progressively worsening sync problem, whereas two 45 minute DVDs had no problem on either DVD. And since I'm recording in HD, the 90 min DVD is easily 60-100 GByte on the hard drive... (and this suggests that I can avoid sync problems by having smaller films, but it still would be nice to figure out what is going on here?)
    Any help would be nice.
    BeateW
    PS I'm posting a link to the iDVD folks as well as I think this is a problem with iDVD, no iMovie?....

  • Y40-80 Volume/Sound and Screen Flashing Problem

    Hey guys, I'm having an issue with my new Y40-80. The volume will sometimes noticeably decrease and then randomly go back to normal. I have installed the relevant audio driver from Lenovo as well as completely updated my laptop through Windows Update. I have also done a complete system restore, but to no avail. I also get a hissing noise when using my earphones, which is normal, I got it on my last laptop as well, but the thing is, the hiss also comes and goes. If there are no souds playing, then the hiss is gone, but right before I click something that is going to play a sound, like a song, for example, the hiss comes back, but if I pause the song, the hiss remains for a few seconds before going away and being completely silent again. Perhaps I received a bad audio card? I also have an issue where my screen will sometimes quickly flash pure white or some distorted image of whats being displayed. I have only had this issue while playing this online game called League of Legends. I have also installed both the relavant AMD and Intel VGA drivers from Lenovo and my laptop is completely up to date. Any help is apprecitated. I really like the laptop, but these issues are annoying and are making me wonder if I have received a defective unit. Thanks!

    Well, I seem to have found a solution myself. Posting it here in case someone comes across the same issue. Instead of downloading the Realtek audio driver from Lenovo's website, I downloaded the appopriate one from Realtek's website. Here: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=24&PFid=24&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false I believe the audio driver that comes preinstalled is the same as the one on Lenovo's website and I don't think it's for a Windows 8.1 but is instead an old driver for 64 bit Vista.  Also, for the screen flashing problem that I was encountering while playing League of Legends, I believe I've also found a solution. Instead of downloading the AMD driver from Lenovo's website, I also recommend going straight to AMD's website and downloading the appropriate driver there. I tried using their auto-detect utility but the issue persisted. I went to AMD's website again and this time manually searched for a driver and came across a beta driver and so far so good.
