my harddrive failed and i got a new one (like 80 gb i think ) and the speakers don't work anymore. i reinstalled the sound blaster software but how do i get the speakers to start working again?

Only thing I want for Christmas is speakers and a amp for my Technics turntables.

Anyone know any good sites?

Ok clever computer savvy people. I've got something which has me perplexed.

This log file keeps popping up on my desktop called "LogTrace.log". It first appeared a couple of days ago, I deleted it and then it appeared again today this morning.

I can't think of any programs that I've changed settings in to create log-files.

I'm using Windows XP SP2 btw.

Any help greatly appreciated, not that it's freaking me out but I don't like having things pop up on their own accord.

Have you tried scanning for spyware and adware?

This morning I left my computer doing a disc clean up while I went to the shops. Once I had came back, my computer had reset itself and was stuck on the BIOS. I have reset the computer and now it cannot get past the initial memory test, instead it hangs there.

I cannot use the keyboard, I have tried several and they are all unresponsive, all I can guess is that the entier system is hung up.

Any suggestions or queries?

Are you sure your sound card isn't blown out?

Anyway, I've got a question of my own. There are a few albums I bought on iTunes earlier this year that I lost when I formatted my computer because I was an idiot and forgot to burn them to discs beforehand. I'm aware that downloading copyrighted content over the Internet is normally illegal, but since I still have the sales receipts that the iTunes store generates via e-mail in my inbox to prove that I legally purchased the songs to begin with, would it be legal for me to go ahead and download the albums again via torrent files?

Avalith Edit: The main reason I'm asking this is because the files from the torrents will be have the .mp3 file extension where they had the .m4p extension when bought and downloaded from iTunes, although there's nothing that I can recall from the iTunes Store DRM that says you can't burn the songs to a disc and then re-rip as an mp3 file.

I'm trying to video tape myself and stick a video on the net. My laptop has a WebCam all set up and the sort and takes pictures fantastically. However, it came with no program allowing me to actually record a video.

Anybody know of a free program that enables me to do this?

If you can hear some sound, then it's doubtful that it's your sound card. Make sure your speakers are on, properly connected, and not on mute. Can you hear anything coming through your speakers when you try to play a music file on your computer?
