My sisters's notebook is not playing any sounds. It says there is no soundcard detected plus the graphics seem to be running slower than normal . I know there is a soundcard in the laptop and i'm just curious what might be causing the slow down . There aren't any virus detected on the virus scans i ran . If anybody can help or some soundlike advice it would help out alot .
Have you or your sister installed any new programs lately? If your sister's laptop as XP in it ,then your should try system restore and just restore back to an earlier date. I also agree that you should check for spyware and trojans.
I already reformatted and she never setup a restore point on her pc . I will try checking for spyware and trojans again . I know that her sound card was working fine and the graphics was running normal not dragging .
Reboot the computer Before Windows starts to load, press ESC (or F1, F2, F10, F12, Delete) You should now be in the computer's CMOS setup. Search around for 'Onboard Devices' Look for 'Onboard Sound' and make sure it is 'enabled'. Visit the laptop manufacturer's website and download the latest video card drives. You can stop searching for viruses and spyware because it's unlikely that is the cause of your computer problems.
