Help Gladly Apprecia

I installed Winamp and my sound stopped working, no audio device connected it said when I checked my sound options. A window pop ups when I try to play music in Winamp that says :
DirectSound output v2.42 (d) error
Bad DirectSound driver. Please install proper drivers or select another device in configuration. Error code 8878000A
Any help? I have Soundblaster Li've for a 8000 series Dell. Thanks

Very hard to help amateurs some times. But here goes.. try to extract the drivers you tried to install, to a folder. Then in that folder you should have another folder called drivers/setup.exe. Use that setup.exe to install the driver, you should get up a "creative Driver update utility" box. Tick the box "overwrite existing shared...." and press ok button. Now it should start to install the drivers.
You said that the problem started with winamp install. Maybe Winamp installed some corrupt codecs. You should download winamp and windows media codec?s and try to install both again.
Hope this hel
ps.

  • TS2755 My husband and I have a linked apple account and i cloud. Now he is receiving all of my text messages. How can I fix it to where he only receives his messages and not mine? Any help is appreciated!

    My husband and I both have iphones and both are linked to the app store and i cloud. Now my husband is receiving all of my text messages and has all my contacts. How can we get it to where he does not receive my messages anymore? Any help is appreciated!

    Best way is to get your own Apple ID, but until then have him go to Settings > Message > Receive at and remove your phone number.

    Does it charge?
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Try another cable
    - Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, cracked or broken plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.

    Hi there,
    You're running an old version of Safari. Before troubleshooting, try updating it to the latest version: 6.0. You can do this by clicking the Apple logo in the top left, then clicking Software update.
    You can also update to the latest version of OS X, 10.8 Mountain Lion, from the Mac App Store for $19.99, which will automatically install Safari 6 as well, but this isn't essential, only reccomended.
    Thanks, let me know if the update helps,
    Nathan

  • Need help setting up airport express as bridge (Any help is appreciated)

    Hello so before my wifi was switched I was able to use my 802.11g airport express as a wifi card for the xbox 360. I then decided to upgrade my main base station from an 802.11g base station to and airport extreme 802.11n. My problem is that my airport express cant extend the airport extreme network to my xbox anymore because they are different 802.11 versions. So can anyone help me configure this so I can get this back? Any help is appreciated.
    My Current Setup:
    Internet => Airport Extreme 802.11n => Wireless => Airport Express 802.11g (to extend network for xbox)=> Ethernet => Xbox 360
    Thanks!

    As I said, WDS is a nightmare for most users. Apple hides the settings from users to discourage use of WDS.
    I do not recommend that you do this, but have a feeling that you will do this anyway.
    I will not be able to help you sort out WDS problems.
    On AirPort Utility 5.6, click Manual Setup
    Click the Wireless tab below the icons
    Hold down the option key on your Mac while you click on the Wireless Mode selection box and the WDS settings will appear
    Apple's instructions for WDS are here:

    Hope this helps. Good luck.

  • I'm trying to transfer data (docs, emails) from G4 iMac running os 10.3.9 to brand new iMac on 10.8.1  I'm stuck, any help greatly appreciated.  (Ethernet or wifi networking are both options if I can figure out how to get the machines to communicate.)

    I have the old machine backed up onto an external firewire disk but can't hook that up to the new imac as I'm waiting for delivery of a firewire 400/800 adaptor - therefore starting the old machine up as a slave is also subject to the same delay.
    I was hoping there might be some way to create a network between the 2 machines (and 2 different versions of the OS) to be able to transfer data across immediately but perhaps I'll just have to wait for my firewire adaptor to arrive.
    I don't understand why you're buying a Firewire adaptor, since AFAIK both of your computers have Firewire already built in.
    All you need is a firewire cable. Connect the Firewire socket on the old machine to the Firewire socket on your new iMac.
    Then start the old machine in Target Mode (i.e. by holding down the T key on its keyboard, while it's starting up, until you see the three-legged T icon hopping around the screen of the old machine.)
    At that point you will also see a new icon on the screen of your new iMac. This is the hard drive of your old machine.  By clicking on it you can navigate through it any way you like, just as you would normally.
    Just drag across whatever you want from the old computer to the new one. This will leave everything on the old computer untouched.

  • New to programming (any help is appreciated)

    Hello, I am having trouble with the following program, any help is appreciated! I am having trouble figuring out the MONTHMATRIX (code is below).
    Initially all locations are set to zero. The column indices 0 through 6 represent the days Sunday through Saturday, respectively.
    I am trying to complete the code ion MonthMatrix class. The constructor, MonthMatrix will set the matrix to all zeros. The setMonth() method replaces the appropriate positions in the matrix with the dates for the month. For example, if MonthMatrix M = new MonthMatrix(); then the call M.setMonth(2,30) would change the Display matrix to :
    0 0 1 2 3 4 5
    6 7 8 9 10 11 12
    13 14 15 16 17 18 19
    20 21 22 23 24 25 26
    27 28 29 30
    and return the value 4, indicating the day of the week that the next month will start on.
