That voids the warranty too. Accually the warranty is for hardware only. well i phoned their tech support and they said that all options have been exhausted so i used the last resort dissk, installed all drivers with the driver cd and im still getting a code 10. This means that the hardware must be dead and its being sent off for repair. thanx for the help guys, we tried

brummies / londoners / the irish

i would also like to heasr the latest

Wll this seems to be a big issue at the moment so i thoyght id start a topic on the issue. We all know what TCPA is, if not please read against tcpa and the what is page before participating. The points for TCPA are very strong, and worthy of anti piricy measures. The mucic industry and microsoft suffer emencally from people downloading illigal audio and software from the internet. Authopritiesd have attempted to shut down kazza to prvent such sofware and music coping. Im addition people lending disks to friends, borrowing cds from the libary and coping them and software cracks cost industry millions. TCPA provides the solution to this, it prevents illigal software being used on any system, and irradicates any "blacklist copies". It will also only alloe cd's to pe used on a system a limited number of times, or even not at all to stop "ripping" and will delete any illigal MP3s. A final benifiot ios that confidential do-*BAD WORD*-ents will not be able to be leaked as they will be encrypted to use only one system. This may be considerd a good thing by many people, indeed piracy pushes up prices but why is it happenybg to begin with? Firstly the music indusry. People download MP3 becvause they do not want to pay for singlkes and albums, after all why pay when you can have it free? The other side of this is that surly a nice new CD is better then spending time downloading MP3 on the internet. The truth to this is record lables charge too much for music. In the uk you can expect to pay £3.50 for a single and £10-20 for an album. This is quite a high cost and this is dervived as follows: you pay for the manufacture of the CD to start with, this is a fraction of the cost. You then pay for the added charge by the record comany to pay the artist and their admin. Finally you pay the company you buy it from for their commision. considering that artist can get millions from one album and a couple of singles, it appers that alot of money is going to them, and this is from the money we pay. Surfice it to say that they can afford to redusce prices, amd if they did alot of people eill buy their music again. Now lets look at microsoft. Again the price for microsoft products is high, also peole need microsoft to work at school or at work, and take work home. If people dont particually want microsoft and its expencive they dont want to pay the high prices for the products and so piracy arises. If alternatives were mor redally available and shown to those who know nthiong buttmicrosoft and prices were reduced, piracy would be reduced. In light of this it seemes that TCPA is not the best option. There are many other disadvantages to TCPA which greatly outweigh the advantages. Many people use freeware and sharware on their PCs, this bracket evedently includes continuum. In addition people make their own software to perform personal admin tasks. As TCPA will only allow registerd software to ruin, and the cost of registration will be very high freeware will be irradicated as with thge cost it cannot be distributed free. In addition personal software will need registering so peole can no longer write their own programs (this will stop viruses and hackers but will also effect the security industry so many jobs are lost). For the reason of cost, small cominies will be irradicated as thay cannot afford the registration. This will lead to compinies going bust and thus reduce to cpomi!@#$%^&*ion in the market ultimatly allow the big cominies to raise costs. This will also occur for hardware as small hardware manufactures will not afford the register cost. Moving on from this there is a risk that microsft will use this to make it very diffgicalt to use alternatives by encrypting their do-*BAD WORD*-ents to use only microsoft products. Althiugh thay may not be allowd to do this by law the rdused compitrition and increaded costs will meke this alot more difficault futher reducing microsofts compi!@#$%^&*ion. I also believe thses reasons will destroy linux ging microsoft almost total domination of the OS market. Overasll this will make IT more expencive, damaging home users and businesses and remove chioce as the options will no longer be available. If the US introduces a bill to make all systems TCPA complient by law, amnd other nations follow then the choice will alost cirtanly be illiminated. In conclution i say that TCPA will destroy ther IT industry, damage business and the home user and allow complete domination by few large compined and thus shoud not be allowd.

i will try that when i get home Zig, thanx. fluffy - a hdd swap is out of the qu, it woulkd void the warranty and i dont plan on paying for hardware faults. Also i dont know anyone with an identical system so they will have diffrent drivers. Last night i tried drwatson and check disk and no errors were found by them so i may have to try formatting C: and starting again which i really would rather not do.

and another thing is that not all nations have consideration for others in their political decitions unless thay get immidiate direct benifit.

lil its a laptop so thay are plugged in. Also of the speakers were fried it would work with headphones and wouldnt return the driver error so thats not whats wrong. I was speaking with theior tech support team and they think its probably a windows bug.

yes, tried installing drivers from it and it still wont work

done that, it detects it immidiatly which is why im reluctant to call it a hardware error atm. Will safemode stop the uato install process?

haha british slang alot of it sucks to be honest. the thing is american english is mostly english. I can watch an american channel say CNN and understand everything thay say fine. I think american english is a simple form, the spelling e.g color and nite are phoenetic to make spelling easier.

i have done that, o rolled back then winupdated and still the same prob

i have been thinking that but when i uninstall the driver plug and play finds the device again. I want to consider an xp bug (again) fisst as i dad a similar usb problem where thay didnt work at all after installing SP1 and upgrading to pro from home. I cant fiond anything on the maze that is microsoft knowelege base though

lmao the countdown begins

take care wragh, see you again soon

can anyone help? i have a win xp pro laptop with intigrated VIE AC'97 sound drivers. Earler today my sound died completly on spakers and headphones. I liik in device manager and the AC'97 codec returns an error: Cannot start device (code 10) i have tried to uninstall and reinstall drivers, rool back driver, system restore and nothing works. If anyone knows how or has a usefull link please post it. ty all
