or turn the speakers on.


Maybe it's on strike, it's jealous of the video card getting all the good porn.

Hell that's nothing, you should see the goofy sh!t my video card is doing. Hooo boy is that fun. Four years of mostly sitting in one spot, hardly ever moving (it's a laptop being used as a desktop) and the video card goes loopy. Oy

The sound on my main PC hasn't worked properly in months. It will play music...and video game sounds...but I only get sound in maybe 1/20 videos I try to watch on it. And windows sounds don't play at all.

I've tried everything. I gave up on it long ago.

Yeah, I have days when technology just stops work with me. It happens even more often when I use a Mac. I logon to a Mac in the computer lab and fire up Safari and the damn thing brings the whole OS to its knees.

Your speakers should never suffer from lack of good pr0n......turn the sound on for full effect.

You think that's fun...try having your Network login at work randomly suspending itself. Can't check my mail or use any applications and have to give IT a minimum of 5 times a day or have someone send an email for you or wait for 15 minutes for the account to unsuspend yourself. :thumbsup: Two days this has been going on.

Hopefully, the IT dept will have this fixed for me tomorrow.

Thats why you always find yourself the login for an admin account. I could log in for about 6 months last year, still got my work done since i had found an admin account and password.
