For the past few days my computer won't play anything audio or video. If anyone can please help i'd really appreciate it :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

-When I play a song on iTunes, i'll press "play", and the song doesn't start. I can slew the metre across the bar, but it still wont play.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

:Notice inthe picture i've pressed play and nothing moves or plays.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

-I also have the same problem with Microsoft Media or Quicktime. In the first pic you can see how its in play, but isn't moving anywhere, and in the second pic, youll see I can slew across the video, but still with no streaming play.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

EDIT: Also getting no audio during gameplay. Nothing's been changed with my audiocard/video or options as far as I know. Whats Wrong?!

Start->Run->"services.msc"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ensure that the service "Windows Audio" is started.

 

 

 

Also check in your control panel under "sounds"

ugh... ehhh ... i think i know what this might be.. if it is.. you will need to turn your computer off ASAP

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

go into your control panel > system > hardwear > device manager > look at IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers > look at both PRIMARY IDE Channel and SECONDARY IDE Channel > Advanced settings.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The current transfer settings should be for a hard drive 3-6...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

if its 1 turn your computer off ASAP. Your Hard drive electronics are dieing... you need to get a new drive and transfer your system over to the new drive..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

sorry :(

Well, my windows media player just woudnt work for a while. Bit i figured that i had to set the correct modem speed to make it start streaming. But u did say that this was offline video files too, so im not sure...sry :cry:

Start->Run->"services.msc"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ensure that the service "Windows Audio" is started.
