    Well.. as you all know, i'm the most worst member of this board who has the most problems with pc's :)


    Here's the deal,
    2days ago, when i started my pc up.. it did normal as everyday ; i had to turn it off 20x.. and then put it on 20x.. but then it got strange. Everything got fontsize 2000.. you know? like BIG . so.. i thought : " damnit! that stupid Bill Gates can't make normal pc's! " So my brother was about to call the guy who fixed it always. But then i say to me bro: why don't i try to fix it? He said: go ahead :)

    Now.. the whole size2000 is now cleared, but i don't have a mouse AND the worst part, music... We can't live without music right?

    Now my stupid question is: How to install my mouse? I tried to delete it off System but then it comes back

    the whole musicthing comes later :lol:

    Thanks anyway :)

    Hmmm...try system restore, maybe you deleted a driver or something important. Make a full virus/spy-ware scan over the entire computer and see if you can spot anything...

    also...try using your start-up disk...you know the one that actually contained the OS data you're using (It's the disk that came with the PC)

    There should be a window in the control panel that says which driver each piece of hardware is using, if you click something on there, it should auto-search it for you =\

    That's all I can think of for now I'm afraid mate >_>'

    Checklist

    1- Check if everything is well plugged.
    2- Check your drivers are installed (Control Pannel, System)
    3- If no, get em ;) ! If yes, update them.
    4- Plug headphones in the speaker plug to see if the problem comes from the speakers
    5- Raise the sound you... J/K ;) .
    6- If everything fails, open your computer and check if your sound card is well installed.
    7- If it fails again, change your soundcard.
    8- If it still fails, open the window and throw your computer outisde (that's why Windows is called Windows ;) )

    Think of it this way, Chris: at least you still aren't waiting for a new motherboard for your computer.

    the easy way to get ur mouse working (that is if ur not using a laptop) is to put a new 1 in. that is a different 1 to the 1 ur using. it should come up with mouse detected or somethin especially if u use a usb port mouse. or u can download the drivers off the net. :phoenix:

    but as i cant read uve fixed the mouse problem :whistle: :blush: . 4 the soundcard u should reinstall the drivers. or u may have fried the soundcard, which has happened to me b4

    Staff Edit: I merged your posts, try not to double post, please. :)

    you need to go into control panel and click on add/remove progs
    unistall the your sound driver
    then put the sound driver cd in and auto run

    u dont have to unistall the sound drivers but its usually a good idea

    soz bout the previous post. i didnt read that u had fixed the problem :whistle:
