Try this. In the control panel go to 'Sound icon'. Select your device. Under 'configure' and 'properties' there are allot of settings there that may help. Under 'speaker properties' and 'advanced' one of the settings you can choose is your sound quality, like DVD or CD quality. I was getting...

I downloaded the Vista Dell version from what Highwayman said. The filename is SBAXVSD_PCDRV_LB_2_12_0002.exe 38.3 mb. I extracted it with Winrar. Using Device Manager, right-click on the entry for the card and select "Update Driver Software" then click "Browse My Computer...". Navigate to the...

Thanks, that worked. I had to manually install the driver. The setup program didn't work.

Is it possible to use this card (Sound Blaster Live 5.1 Digital SB0220) on a computer running Windows 7 32-bit build 7100? If it will, work can someone please provide a link to the driver? I've been searching with Google & Bing for the last hour and I should have probably come here first...

After upgrading from build 7229 to build 7264 I cannot find the icon to start XP Mode. I have looked under the start menu folder 'Windows Virtual PC' and I see my XP program icons I have installed but there is nothing there to start XP mode. I am afraid if I reinstall the XP Mode virtual server...

I need to get some help with my boot menu. I used to have my PC set up with a dual boot (XP & Windows 7). Now that I am getting used to XP mode I have removed the XP installation and reclaimed the space. That all went well. My problem is that the boot menu stills offers both O.S. at boot-up. I...

I was able to change the ownership under properties/security tab. Thanks for the help everyone. Chris

That explains how I got in this fix. Now, any suggestions on how I can access my files on the external drive. My home computer is 45 minutes away from here. Thanks, Chris.

I have brought my external hard drive from my home to my son's house. Once connected, I tried to view a folder in the root of the drive. I get the pop-up message "You don't currently have permission to access this folder. Click continue to permanently get access to this folder." After I click...

I did it. I now have one drive at max. size. Thanks again. Chris

Thanks for the info. So far I have deleted the volume containing XP which was the D: drive in this case. It is now unallocated. It appears that I cannot extend the volume with Win7, the C: drive. There is nothing under 'Available'. Could this be because that the disk (Disk0) is Basic? I do have...

Now that I have used XP Mode enough to feel safe with it, I want to remove the dual boot from my system. My boot drive has two partitions. Drive C boots to Windows 7 and D boots to XP. If I format drive D will I still be able to boot up in Windows 7? Thanks in advance, Cygnus333 (Chris)

I want to know how to remove the image of a lock on one of my folders. This is a folder I created to hold downloaded files. None of the other folders I have created have this issue. When I hi-lite the folder by clicking on it, at the bottom of Windows explorer I see 'State: Private'. Also, when...

Thanks for the info. I tried the 3 commands. Fixmbr and RebuildBcd ran ok but FixBoot had a problem. Here's the msg. I got. 'The volume does not contain a recognized file system.' After rebooting it went right back to XP. Any suggestions? Thanks, Chris

Did the startup repair work for you? When I try I get the msg. 'Startup repair could not detect a problem.' Then when I reboot I go straight to XP.
