I hear no sound when I play music on my computer, I don't get any sound when I play any comp. games either. I updated my sound driver, and I switched speakers, checked the connection, but nothing of tha sort was wrong, I looked in the cntrol panel under sounds and audio devices to see if I had the sound muted or lowered, it wasn't, I have no idea what could be wrong with my sound, anyone else have a clue?

I have a 2001 Emachines W2060:

The only games I have ever played on my PC are some really good older titles, like Star Craft, Command and Conquer:Tiberian Sun, Empire Earth, and the only 3D game I have ever played on it is Warcraft III. My computer seemed to handle that game pretty well, so is there any chance that Rome:Total War would work on my outdated PC?

This message came up when I tried to print. "There was an error writing to USB002 for this printer. The network printer is no longer available." What in the world does this mean? I was working perfectly before?

2007-02-22 07:59:57 · 3 answers · asked by gopal 1 in Laptops & Notebooks

the reason was not ram. the reason is i download a lot of music & my hard drive capacity is 3/4 full already. so space is the problem.

Processor, AMD 64 754 pin, motherboard Asustek.
System was working fine. Next start up just the HD light comes on and stays on steady. Nothing else happens. No POST. Won't boot to A: drive even.
P/S?
Motherboard?
How does one test this system?
Voltages look good measured with a DVM.
Help
Thanks

I am trying to help someone with their mac. He bought a new printer and it will not work with the old mac he has. I believe it is a version 9. something. I am not familiar with macs at all. When trying to install the printer it says that it will only work with mac os 10 or higher. Is there anyway around this?
