I try to turn my computer off.
For up to 30 minutes that's how long i've waited, kinda got tired of waiting after thatso I just use the reset button or turn it off completely.
For another 20-30 minutes, before I give up and restart it again.
Appreciate any help I can get!
The shutdown and startup delays are normally caused by defective hardware or drivers.
The trick is in isolating what hardware or driver is causing the problem.
Since you already suspect the hard drive, it would be best to run the hard drive manufacturer's diagnostic program on it.
See below for the common ones: Hard Drive Diagnostic Procedure Q: Hi.
I have had this problem for many months now and have tried to remove the infection manually using instructions found on ehow, using Norton Antivirus, malwarebytes and spybot search and destroy.
Nothing has been successful at removing it.
I have just been using my laptop instead of my desktop because I don't want to use an infected computer.
I receive notifications from Norton that an intrusion attempt has been blocked.
As Sound drivers for windows xp professional 5.1 build 2600 mentioned this has been going on for months now.
I'm hoping you can help me, otherwise I'm going to have to reinstall Windows, which I'd like to avoid doing.
I hope I have included enough background.
My scans are below and attached.
Your help is greatly appreciated!

Q: Hi Guys, I am having problems with my laptop audio and was wondering if anyone could help me or advise further at all.
I bought it as an ex demo from a website which I can't remember.
I had to reformat it not long ago as I was having booting problems.
Since the reformat I have been unable to play and sound.
I have downloaded a few different types of drivers and other audio programmes I think I used to have but none have helped.
I have no idea which sound card I have in my laptop and no idea which drivers I need to get it working.
Thanks in advance, Paul Q: Hello, My computer is plagued with errors, many of which are incredibly frustrating and make using the computer almost useless.
There is one new problem which just started.
I checked the control panel, and made sure 'Show icon' was on, and it was.
I found that re-installing my audio driver will make the icon show up- that is, until I turn off the computer.
Once the computer has been turned off, the icon disappears again the next time I turn it on.
How can I fix this?

Q: Hey, i have a foxxconn N15235 motherboard i got off a friend and i cannot get working audio drivers for it.
Can somone please help as i really do not want to get vista.
Everytime I activate sound it make my computer reboot.
I have service pack2 also.
I try to do hardware updates,and there aren't any.
Please help with this problem.
Also, please do give us some more information on the problem.
When did it start happening?
What were you doing when it first started?
Do you have sound when you log into Windows?
Do you see any yellow triangles next to your audio devices in Device Manager in your Control Panel?
Do you have an anti-virus that is updated and have you done recent scans?
I've checked just about everything I could possibly do and I can't seem to fix the problem.
I've downloaded software that downloads audio and video drivers and still no dice.
I keep getting a Code:10.
Q: Hello, I have no sound on my computer.
I have checked my device manager and I have error code28 in my multimedia section.
I downloaded Realtec 97, didn't help, i downloaded driver genius, didn't fix anything, i dont know what to do.
I have absolutely no sound at all.
Sometimes this will fix a glitch.
Expand System devices, and check that 'Plug and Play Software Device Enumerator' is present and is 'working properly'.
During the routine you may see 'Driver is enabled but has not been started'.
If it's not present, or not 'working properly', or you get the above message, see at the end of this post.
If you don't have it, you can download DirectX.
Q: i just had a new pc and ive gone to watch a film on it but it says audio device not installed, so i went thro sound,video and game controlers option in control panel and everything is installed.

Q: so audio has always been, at best, 'iffy' on my computer.
It depend on if my comp can be bothered when it turns on.
All the drivers installed themselves, including a graphics card that gave me issues and internet too.
Troubleshooter says: Problems found: Hardware changes might not have been detected, Detected yellow exclamation mark appears beside that line of text Above that it says The troubleshooter made some changes to your system.
Try attempting the task you were trying to do before.
I don't really know where to start, could someone tell me how to fix this?
Please install proper drivers or select another device config.

Please install a correct combination of software and driver.
I found in the net that other users got a similar error on Thinkpad E530 and a conexant driver.
There it helped to de-install the driver, no reboot and run the thinkvantage upgrade tool, which repaired the problem automaticly.
I tried it in the same way, but after I de-installed the driver, the upgrade-tool didn't found any upgrade.
And I have no conexant driver.
What can I do to fix this error?

Hi mhohhman, X230 does uses different driver with E530.
Please refer followig link for driver.
No issues, every driver perfect.
Long story short I had some issues and had to do a fresh install of windows 7.
Then the audio issue above started happening again.
So I assumed it was a bad windows install - so I re-installed windows 2 more times and I have had the issue ever since.
If I set my speakers to quadraphonic the noise stops.
But the noise still comes through my headphones and it is annoying beyond belief!!!!
I have tried every driver realtek and asus and yet nothing but problems.
The default windows driver doesn't have the best quality or else I'd keep using it!
Please help me, if you can fix this I will be forever grateful to you!!!!

Q: Hi, i have some problems with driver of my audio card Xonar dx.
Seeing that i was not in the taskbar Asus Audio center, i uninstalled the audio driver to reinstall.
But when I started the installation I output a warning dialog that says the certificate is not trusted and the drivers are from an unknown author, first time never happened in previuos timeso i clicked 'run' to start the installation but once the sound card is disabled in fact, I did not hear the usual 'click' by card during installation.
I also tried to clean up with Driver Sweeper in safe mode but nothing, i tried to install the driver with cd-rom and the warning does not come out but the card is still disabled.
In this case i add the report of scans maybe you can see if something important key or file has been removed.

I downloaded one of the many Vista packages from the Realtek site, and restarted my computer.
But I didn't see the Realtek driver icon at the bottom of my toolbar.
I looked for the Realtek icon, but still don't see it.

I reinstalled Realtek again, and again restarted my computer.
I still don't see the icon.
What did I do wrong?
