How do you fix a soundcard that constantly skips and pauses everytime you play back an Mp3? This has been going on with Winamp for like a year now.

Well, there could be a few things wrong with it.
1.) You need to install the latest drivers. 2.) Your speakers are busted (assuming it happens with every mp3 playback software). 3.) Your sound card is starting to go. Replace it. |

Yeah, my Sound Blaster Audigy 2 sound card is starting to go, unless it's my speakers. I'll probably end up replacing both at some point.

here is a new problem for you to solve
i recently aquired an ibm thinkpad 600x, and i have 2 very annoying problems with it. the first, is that whenever i turn it on the first thing that comes up is an error, that makes me re-enter the date and time. after i do that i have to turn the computer off, and turn it back on. after that, it does fine. a friend of mine told me that it was probably the internal battery, that was dead, so im loosing my settings.
the second problem that i have is, that either my battery wont charge, or my computer thinks that it is dead, so all that i can do is use the power cord to power the computer. if anyone knows what the cause of either of these problems might be, i would appreciate your input.

I don't know much about Thinkpads, but from the clues you have given me, that's a faulty internal battery. I recommend getting that repaired or replaced in some fashion. That's probably also why you're losing your settings, because normally the settings are stored there, at least with something like a Thinkpad. So yeah, try getting that checked out.

on my computer watching a video if it's just people talking I can hear them just fine but if it's a song or something with music or background noise they almost completely get drowned out.

Do you ever get tired of asking people if its plugged in? My tech support question is what to do about a loud computer fan.

To Jamezer: Yes, I believe so.
To Alison Chains: You should check this guide out to convert the .mkv to an .avi file type. Then you can convert that to DVD format no problem. It's a bit extensive and tedious, but it gets the job done. It's unfortunate it had to be in that format. |

Both work, and TMB's references seem to be faster. Feel free to try either one.

*kicks computer*
Something strange is goin on with my puter. its running Win98, Dell system, Pentium III... I'm trying to run Photoshop, and during using it, the computer just suddenly stops working. Nothing's responding. I go to restart it, and something comes up.. "Alert! Regulator Failure" The computer starts up and works fine, but its done this to me twice so far when I run Photoshop. what is the regulator, and why's it messing up on me? |

and OT: I thought you were gone, S utrom?

Well the main computer is a IBM and the second one I use is a custom built with Lan internet.It does this everytime.The cable to the basement is also 50 feet.I also use Windows XP as a running system for the computer.That is why my posts are so short.I can't keep the internet from going offline.
This is new computer also.Anybody know the problem.I think it might the router. Last edited by Demented Utrom; 02-25-2005 at 06:42 PM. |
