My laptop does not have a button to tune the volume level or mute it.
This is annoying, when the phone rings I wave to do too many clicks in a hurry to turn the volume down before answering the phone.

But that laptop has keys that can be programmed to run any commands (it is an Acer Aspire 3630).

Which commands can I use to set the volume to 0.

The answer I would like would be something like:
c:\Program Files\something\manage-sound.exe 0

And I would rather not install any software to do that.

Thanks for your help, I tried google and I did not find ...

O.K., I'm about computer illiterate, but I have a good computer, but over the last year something has happened, it is slow! I have run virus programs, defragmented, cleaned up disc space etc. Recently I have run the a free registry clean up(cc, I believe), it says I have some problems. My question is: is there a free program that will clean all the problems, or is it worth it to buy it. If not is there a way to delete all on my computer and start over? Any insight would be appreciated. Thank you.

I want to learn how to write programs in C++ and I also want to run these programs. How do I do this??

Someone told me I need a compiler and an IDE?

The other day I was playing the sims 2 on my computer.
I typed in a cheat as I usually do, but now I'm thinking I must have hit something wrong on the keyboard because every since then, my computer has had no sound on it what so ever.

I dont use plug in speakers, I just use whats built in to the screen, so its not that, but no sound will play at all.
The jingle that plays when you switch windows on, my mp3s wont play any sound, nothing.

I dont know what I've done or how to fix it. Can anyone help?

Is there anything I can do? I've done a quick search on google and I've checked that the comptuer is not on mute, I've gone into the control panel > sounds and audio devices, and checked that everything (except microphone) is fine and not muted.

Any ideas of what I can do? I'd rather not call a PC repairman out if I can try fixing it myself. Plus I'm thinking it must only be something trivial because up until I played that game, everything was working perfectly.
