T61: Intermittent message to re-install SoundMax

Intermittently when I boot my T61 (646501U, XP SP3) I get "Your audio configuration has changed.  You must re-install SoundMax" and sounds are disabled.  I re-boot and sounds are enabled.  What should I do to fix this?

T61 XP Pro SP3 Office 2003

Same problem.  Just started after replacing new HD and SP3 new install.  I'm figuring my drivers are not setup the way they were originally or SP3, but I think I had SP3 for awhile on my old hard drive without this problem.  My NIC won't load either when this problem occurs.  My mouse and keyboard lock up also.  I've had more weird problems with this laptop than any other computer I've owned.  It makes it worse when they're sporadic. 
It would be nice to hear an answer.  Not holding my breath.

  • Office Professional Plus 2013 - Click to run fails to start - errror message "Couldn't install"

    I have just purchased an new PC with 8.1, and have also purchased Office 2013 via the HUP. Now I am trying to start the download.  After clicking on the link in the email, a "Click to Run" file is downloaded. When I open the file, it fails
    to start the Office 2013 download. I get the message "Couldn't install"
    However after trying several options including compatability and administrator options,  I still get the message "Couldn't install".
    I have checked for compatibility and all checks OK
    I am looking forward to an ideas :)
    Thanks in advance :)

    Hi Richard,
    Thanks for your question. I believe that "Couldn't install" is not the complete error message, it would be great that you can copy and paste the entire message here. It's necessary for the investigation.
    Please first check if you have any pre-installed version  (Preview edition) of Office on your PC. If yes, please try to use
    Microsoft Fix It tool to remove any traces of Office from your computer, then try the installation again:

    You might also need to follow the manually steps mentioned on the same page to delete the related reg keys/folder structures, and then try again.
    Hope this helps.

  • After updating ipad 2 to IOS 5.1.1 I get a message no sim installed. SIM is working fine.

    After udating my ipad2 to ios 5.1.1 my 3g stopped working. I get a message no sim installed. SIM is working fine. How do I fix this?

    I have the same problem. Even worst, I use my iPod touch at the gym cause our bikes and threadmills have iPod connection (and screen of course) so I used watch TV shows from my iPad. Last week, thought the treadmill connector on the machine was broken... from what I see, it's the TV out on the iPad that is not working anymore.
    Once home, I used my composite cable, well just like you got a message : "not supported" tried on iPad and Ipod Touch.
    THANKS APPLE WITH YOUR STUPID UPDATES!!!!
    But now seems your Video cables won't be selling much if not working hey?
    And reboot has no effect, don't waste your time.

  • I have tried several times to install iTunes update 11.1.4 on my PC.  I get a message saying that install was not successful and an error message of MSVCR80.dll not present, Error 7, (Windows error 126).  I am told to reinstall iTunes, but nothing changes

    I have tried several times to install iTunes update 11.1.4 on my PC.  I get a message saying that install was not successful and an error message of MSVCR80.dll not present, Error 7, (Windows error 126).  I am told to reinstall iTunes, but nothing changes.  What next?  I've not had this problem with other updates requested by Apple.

    I have also had the same problem with my Win 7 32 bit computer.  I had great help from Apple techs in Montreal and Orlando for 2.5 hours.  They helped me remove every trace of Apple products and clean the registry in two different ways.  Each install gave the same problem!  If Apple techs can't fix it (on some of our machines) then we are really in trouble.  They promised to raise it with the "engineers" and get back to me with a solution.  I am waiting and hoping.  Otherwise maybe version 11.1.5 will have a fix ??

  • Hi, I've been trying for days to download Windows support software via Bootcamp assistant, but it always failed with message 'Can't install Windows Support Software because it is not currently available from the Software update server.' Any advice welcome

    Hi,
    I've been trying for days to download Windows support software via Bootcamp assistant but it always fails with message 'Can't install windows software because it is not currently available from the software update server.'
    Anyone else had problems or success with this?
    Thanks in advance.

    I'm getting a similar but distinct error message in snow leopard: Download could not continue. "The windows support software is not available" and have no original snow leopard instal disc with me.
    Your issue is completely different. You are running Snow Leopard. There is no download for Windows Support software for Snow Leopard, hence the error you see. Snow Leopard Windows Support software is on the Snow Leopard installation disk.
    You need the Snow Leopard installation disk or a replacement for it.

  • When I try to install Windows on iMac with Bootcamp I get this message,"Can't install the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server."

    I try to get Windows 7 on my iMac 21.5-inch but on the Bootcamp Assistant I get this message,"Can't install the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server." Please help me and thank you.

    I have that problem too.  There's many other discussion threads as well.  Either Apple doesn't realize they have a problem, or they do and simply don't care.  Either way, not good.
    There is a workaround that I'm going to try next.  Go to this webpage:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634
    Scroll down to the middle of the webpage.  Hit "Expand All".  Now, search the webpage for the Apple product name of your computer.  It should be something like "MacBook Pro, 17-inch, Early 2008".  If you're unsure what you have, open "About This Mac" (upper left corner of your screen, Apple menu), and hit "More Info".
    Now that you've found your computer, read across the table, to the version of Windows that you want to install (32-bit or 64-bit).  Hopefully you'll find a "4" or "5" there.  Click on that number, to go to the download page for the drivers that you need.  If you just see an empty box there, then you're out of luck....
    Hopefully there will be drivers.  Download those, unzip, and then copy to a USB stick that has been formatted for MS-DOS FAT (or FAT32).  Use Disk Utility to format your USB stick if necessary.  Now, you have the drivers you should have gotten from the Boot Camp Assistant download.  You should then be able to go back to Boot Camp Assistant and follow the instructions from there.
    Hope it works!

  • Treloaded.  Getting a message "iTunes not installed correctly"  Error 7 Windows Error 998.  Removed and retried install got same message??????

    Trying to install iTunes on my XP machine after the operating system was reloaded.  Getting a message "iTunes not installed correctly"  Error 7 Windoes Error 998.  Removed and retried installgot same message??????

    This can sometimes indicate that one of the other itunes-related software components is damaged. (Usually Apple Application Support, but there are other possibilities beyond that.)
    Perhaps first try a complete uninstall/reinstall as per the following document:
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    Does that get you past the 7?

    Hi hgratz,
    Considering 'invalid serial number' error for Acrobat 9, I would suggest you to please refer the KB doc link mentioned below:

    Let me know if that helps.

  • 2 error messages - failed to install extention 2.1 and output module 2.1

    I just tried to update my Encore CS4 from the Master Suite. I have two error messages " failed to install extention Mgr. CS4 2.1 and failed to install output module update 2.1
    Encore will load a new project and save but I can't do anything else like add files before it crashes.  Any help please. - Art

    This might not apply with En CS4, but there were some issues on install, and on updates in Photoshop. It seems that MS had a bum MSI (Installer) version, and it caused a lot of PS installs and updates to fail. Do not recall any specific error messages. The cure there was to download and install the revised MSI module from the MS site. I would imagine that any MSI module would be heavily Windows version-specific. Take that as a warning to check any very carefully, before downloading and installing. MS is pretty good at having a ReadMe with installation instructions for each such download. It almost always contains the exact versions of Windows, that the file is for. Please read any installation instructions carefully.
    This might be worth a look. I do not have a link to the exact page, but a search of the MS site should yield something. I'd search for "MSI," to start.
    I just do not recall any issues with En and either installation (on proper systems with updated OS's) or with any updates.
    Good luck, and please report your success.
