    Windows 10 Another weird one?

    Mike I'm not trying to fix this, I'll see what happens in the next build, (I'm still on 10074) but I just noticed that none of my Windows sounds will play, either my custom sounds or the default Windows sounds. What's weird about this is that unlike a lot of earlier builds all my other sounds...

    Windows 10 Well I guess it's out of my hands...

    Hi I was still trying to decide whether to do a clean install this morning. I was checking to make sure that Guild Wars 2 was working after my recent redo of my second hard drive when the game suddenly closed and the message, "Windows need to restart several times to finish updating". I had...

    Windows 7 Really wierd sound problem in Windows 7 (x-fi + onboard)

    Hi everyone :D I've just installed Windows 7 on this PC but I'm having a very strange problem with the sound. I have an X-fi XtremeMusic PCI card which has worked fine in my old PC for years running on XP. Since installing Windows 7 the sounds are coming out very peculiar. Normal windows...
