Hello all,
I am undergoing computer trouble with my XP home computer.
I've no doubt some folks will be along soon that will have some suggestions for you. However, they will probably need more info about your system.
Do you have Anti-Virus software installed/running/up-to-date?
Same for Anti-Spyware?
Same for firewall?
Anything else you can think of, to add to the description of your system and it's software could be useful.
I have limerwire and use it quite a bit but i am concidering if it ruining my computer badly.
Limewire itself? or the crap that you may have downloaded with it?
Most folks will tell you to get rid of Limewire. It is just the easiest way to word it.
Chances are Limewire itself, and running it, is not causing problems.
But, if you really think about it, Limewire is popular for illegal, copyright violating, software sharing - and that is a perfect environment for the nasty people that like to get you to infect your machine with their dirt - isn't it?
If you are not careful, it is akin to playing Russian Roulette.
After making a download, when i opened it
HOLD IT!
You didn't say that you scanned it with your up-to-date Anti-malware
before you opened it!
and received it, the music on the download was working perfectly, but now all action from speakers has stopped. THey make the sound like there working (the fuzzy sound), the light is lit which is showing there on and the volume is turned up but to no avail. I have since uninstalled the download and my sound still refuses to work. Weather it be playing on Sims, or playing music via Windows Media Player no sound comes out.
Also the logo which usually accompanies the 'my music' folder of the music note, which is seen when in the start menu, has dissapeared. I cant see this as a sign of good things.
I ahve looked at the help advice on this, but all my connections seem to be legitimate.
-Have i somewhat installed in virus?
-Should i get rid of limewire?
-How do i fix my speakers?
I would appreaciate the help.
Thank-you
While you are waiting for someone else to come along, perhaps with more specific steps, here is a place to do some reading. Background material, if you will.
http://www.computerhope.com/forum/index.php/board,26.0.htmlBe sure, at least, to read the bottom three:
Safe Computing
Computer Cleanup
Spyware/Adware/Virus Removal
That will give you a start.
