My computer was unable to play music.
When I opened Device manager in my computer I found that under (Sound,video and game controllers) only the following appears:
Audio codecs
Legacy Audio Drivers
Legacy Video Capture Devices
Media Control Devices
Video Codecs
,Then I noticed that SoundMAX Integrated Dital Audio was missing,after checking device manager in another computer.

I then went on to download the SoundMAX software from the Internet. But unluckily it display this error message during installation:

"Driver not found! Reboot your system, and run this setup again"

I tried to reboot the system several times, but the same error message appears. Can anyone help me please. What should I do? Thank you in advance.

I just bought a new alternator in april of this yr. I had someone install it for me and the damn pulley came off on me while I was driving today. The whole pulley and belt made this wild horrific screeching sound and now my check battery light is on.
How do I fix this and is the shop that sold me the alternator responsible for this mishap?
They sold me a bum alternator 1 yr ago and I complained to the owner because the alternator lost it's power in 12 months. They are supposed to last much longer than 12 months in a car. I told him there was no reason for it to die out on me because I don't have loud music or any music playing in my car. I have no amp or any stereo stuff either. I don't have anything that would drain it and I have a brand new yellow top Optima battery that has 620CCA so it packs enough punch. The alternator he sold me was a bum one and he replaced it for me for 1/2 price.
Now this new one I got from him sucks big time with the pulley falling off in 4 months!!
WTF??

(hopefully not) world war?

I just feel the tensions around the world among nations are escalating. More and more problems are turning into crisis. I have a feeling that sooner or later wars between nations from the continents of Europe (Caucasus), Africa, Asia (Middle East, South Asia, East Asia), South America, and North America are inevitably going to happen. Not that I am hoping for war, nor I am jinking. I do not like war. I want peace in this world, on this planet. I am just hoping that my feeling is wrong. I am hoping and wishing for world peace.

May there be peace on Earth, so that when our human children of the future looking back at Earth from outer space that Earth will still be a nice blue oblate spherical planet, not a planet with holes left by destructions of wars, bombs, atomic weapons, or any other weapons of mass destructions.

i mean even if your married are single they do it all the time i dont understand it sometimes, its just cruel to play with peoples feelings, but women really, like dumbasses we fall for it sometimes, specially if we are married and they say things to us that our husbands do not say to us anymore, it makes a woman feel good and we fall for it and sometimes against our better judgement, not the same for everybody but in my mind, i feel for it hook,line, and sinker just cause the other man made me feel good again and attractable where my husband hardly tells me anymore

This is a VERY sensitive subject, only seriious replies only. Thank you.
My husband and I have a healthy sex life, however he occasionally wants to "explore other cavities". We have done it a couple times and in the heat of all of it, I kind of like it. Ok, I climax whenever we do. But..... I don't feel comfortable after the fact. I was sexually abused as a child. I feel "dirty" afterwards and sometimes ashamed in the fact that I enjoyed it. We have talked about how it makes me feel and he says that I need to get over it and that it is someone I trust and love touching my body. I am still uneasy about the whole thing. We have a healthy sex life otherwise. Is it normal for me to feel this way? Is it that I still have other issues I need to deal with or scarring from the abuse as a child? I just don't know how to feel about all of this. Anyone understand??

Does anyone else think this is the dumbest show but have watched it for years waiting for the Theresa and Ethan story to unfold. I have been waiting for him to stop being so stupid and realize that his wife is a liar and waiting to see if he was going to get back with Teresa since he obviously loves her. He just needs to stop being so dumb. I hate Qwen.
I missed it today- did she tell Ethan that he was little Ethan's dad?
I thought all along that he was.

Three times, I've had episodes where my CPK enzyme levels have spiked (1400 the first time, 1100 the second. No test on the third).
This is associated with a rash on my upper torso and lower face. (looks like small surface hemmoraging. There's no inflammation around the initial points, and no itching)

These episodes have happened at different times of the year, while I was on different diets, and there was no pesticide spraying within 2 blocks of my residence (by a professional lawn care company or municipality)

My doctor has eliminated a whole bunch of posabilities, but we haven't been able to come up with anything that matches. Any new avenues of research would be greatly appreciated.

a family member just found out they have cancer. they don't want to have surgery or radiation treatment of any kind. i wondered if they will die in a lot of pain if they get no treatment at all. they really are going to refuse treatment.
