[Solved] There are No Active Mixer Device Available

I got lot of mails regarding the Error in Widows XP "There are No Active Mixer Device Available", The problem belong to the sound service and the problem cause because the system is infected with virus so the sound service is automatic stop, it might me infect more services also like "The Network in not present or started", "Share Service also disable" so today i'm making the best thing to resolve this problem in few second, read the mention below instruction. 

Solution

Download the Free Antivirus and installed it in your computer and start the scanning. 

It turns out the problem for this error lies in the Windows Audio Service, which usually starts automatically when the sound card is installed and working. However, in this case the service was turned off. Follow the instructions below to reactivate the Windows Audio service.

1. Click on Start and Run
2. Type the following command and press Enter

services.msc

1. Scroll down to Windows Audio in the right-hand column and double-click on it, you should see a screen similar to this one.
2. Make sure the Startup Type is set to Automatic and click on the Start button under Service Status. The Windows Audio service should restart and the error with the volume control should be resolved.

Upon checking under the Hardware section via the System Properties, we found a couple of yellow exclamation points next to Multimedia Audio Controller. Now this issue would have been easy to fix if the computer had a separate sound card installed and would have simply involved downloading and re-installing the latest drive for the card. Sometimes the driver becomes corrupt and the sound disappears. In this case, just go to Dell, HP, or your manufacture’s web site and download the audio drivers.

However, if your sound card is integrated into your motherboard, you’ll have to re-install the motherboard sound drivers. This is a little trickier because you need to first find the make and model of your motherboard. You can figure out the model of your motherboard in three ways:

1. Open the computer and find the sticker or embedded name of the manufacturer. Be sure it’s not the maker of the chipset, as that will not help.

2. Everest software – a free app that will help you identify your motherboard.

3. Belarc Advisor – Another nifty little app that will give you a crap load of information about your computer including the motherboard.

Once you have the model information, you’ll need to perform a search for the number or try to go to the web site of the maker. Find your driver, install it and restart the computer. You should now have your sound back!

10 cross-platform tools that can make your job easier

I work in multiple environments throughout the day. Most of the time I am working on Linux. But occasionally, I have to hop on over to a Windows machine for various reasons (usually to help an end user resolve a problem). When I do this, I am thankful there are plenty of cross-platform tools available. These tools range from standard desktop tools to server-based applications.

I’m not talking about Web-based applications served up by one platform to all platforms. I’m talking about applications that can actually be installed on a variety of platforms and run natively. These are the bread and butter of my work, and the fact that they’re available across platforms makes life much easier. You may be surprised to find out that these tools are available for multiple platforms. As they say, you learn something new every day.

• FileZilla is one of the best FTP clients out there. Filezilla offers an outstanding GUI FTP client for all platforms and an FTP server for the Windows platform. The client software has plenty of features, including: Supports FTP, FTP over SSL/TLS (FTPS) and SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP), IPv6 support, tabbed interface, powerful site manager, drag and drop support, filename filters, directory comparison, and much more.

• MySQL is, like Apache, one of the most widely used database servers on the planet. MySQL drives sites like Wordpress, Drupal, Joomla, Xoops, and a host of other CMS, ERP, and HRM sites. And for those currently running SQL looking to migrate, MySQL now has a simple to use migration tool to ease your switch. MySQL offers clustering, outstanding GUI admin tools (see below), and one of the most reliable and usable database servers available.

• The Gimp is one of my favorite graphics applications. Most people are shocked to find out that The Gimp is available for all platforms (minus Android and IOS). It’s a powerful image manipulation tool with enough filters and features to suit any level of user. The Gimp can please nearly any graphic artist without the funds for Photoshop. NOTE: The Windows version of The GIMP is looking for some solid developers to help with the project! If interested, contact the team through the Gimp Developer mailing list.

• Audacity is the cross-platform tool for editing audio. If you’re looking for the best software to record your podcasts, regardless of platform, this is what you want. I’ve been using Audacity for years to record the Zombie Radio podcast (NSFW), and it has been a stellar tool. Not only does Audacity record, it also is one of the best audio conversion and editing tools you will find. Audacity also includes plenty of effects and filters.

• AbiWord is a simple word processor. Why would you want to use a one-trick word processor? Abiword is small, fast, light, and offers plenty of features. AbiWord has been carefully written so that it can be run on any platform. AbiWord also includes a handy collaboration tool that is tightly integrated with AbiCollab.net and allows for easy sharing of documents with other AbiWord users.

• Zimbra Desktop won me over quickly. With its unique ability to aggregate multiple streams of information (email, Google, Yahoo, Facebook, Twitter, etc.), it provides a one-stop-shop for all your email and social feeds. Zimbra can also connect to Exchange, making it a great replacement for Outlook. Of course, you could take this one step further in your organization and use theZimbra Collaboration Server and get rid of Exchange all together.

• Claws Mail is one of the fastest, most versatile email clients you will ever use. Yes, there is a bit of a learning curve when you try to make Claws go outside the boundaries of the standard email client. But that’s when it really soars. With Claws Mail, you can do things you never thought an email client could do — on Linux, BSD, Solaris, and Windows (sorry Mac users). Claws Mail also enjoys a good number of plugins to expand the flexibility of this powerful mail client.

• SpiderOak goes beyond the other cross-platform cloud sync/backup tool, Dropbox, by letting you fine-tune exactly what is backed up. Unlike Dropbox (where you’re limited to the Dropbox folder), SpiderOak allows you to back up multiple folders and even preserve historical versions of files and folders. SpiderOak also allows you to share folders with its ShareRooms using RSS. SpiderOak gives you 2 GB free and then charges $10.00 USD per 100 GB.

• GnuCash is the go-to open source, cross-platform accounting tool. It offers tons of features (double-entry accounting, stocks/bonds/mutual fund accounts, QIF/OFX/HBCI import, transaction matching, scheduled transactions, financial calculations, and more) and is the perfect solution for small businesses without the budget for QuickBooks or Peachtree.

• TightVNC is an outstanding VNC server that enables you to remote into desktops of nearly any platform. It’s free for both personal and business use and available for Windows and UNIX. TightVNC includes a Java-based VNC client along with the server. TightVNC is also compatible with standard VNC software, so if you don’t want to make use of the Java-based client, you can use your client of choice.

Create Customize Windows 7 Disc with Integrated Updates

-->

Do you want to save time when installing Windows 7 ? You can create a customized installation disc and have it perform an installation without asking you questions, integrate updates and drivers, tweak Windows, and remove Windows components.

We’ll be using RTSe7en Lite for this – if you’ve used nLite with Windows XP or vLite with Windows Vista in the past, it works similarly. RT Se7en Lite is a sort of vLite or nLite for Windows 7.

What You’ll Need

• To do this, you’ll need Windows 7 installed on your computer. You’ll also need to downloadand install the Windows Automated Installation Kit (WAIK) for Windows 7 fromMicrosoft – RT Se7en Lite is a more user friendly frontend to WAIK. WAIK is 1.7 GB, so the download may take a while if you have a slow Internet connection. After downloading it, extract it with a file extraction program such as 7-Zip.

• Run the StartCD.exe file, select Windows AIK Setup, and follow the instructions on your screen to install Windows AIK.

• You’ll also need a Windows 7 installation source – either a physical disc or ISO file.

• Next, downloadand install RT Se7en Lite from here – it’s free and donation-supported. Download the appropriate version for your version of Windows — x86 if you’re using a 32-bit version of Windows or x64 if you’re using a 64-bit edition.

Using RT Se7en Lite

• First, click the Browse button and provide your Windows 7 files – if you have an ISO file on your hard drive, click Select ISO file and navigate to it. If you have a Windows disc, insert the disk, click Select OS path, and navigate to the disc.

• If you provide an ISO, you’ll have to specify an extraction path where the ISO’s files will be extracted to – you’ll need several gigabytes of space on your hard disk for this.

• The files will be automatically extracted after you provide your ISO.

-->

• After selecting the edition of Windows 7 you’re customizing, RT Se7en Lite will load the image. If you have a Windows 7 disc without Service Pack 1 integrated, click the Slipstream Service Pack option in the “Select an image to configure” window and you’ll be able to integrate SP1.

• Click over to the Task pane and select the tasks you want to perform after the image is loaded. You can manually check the check boxes or select a preset. Selecting one of the check boxes will activate the corresponding configuration pane at the left side of the window.

•  The integration pane allows you to integrate Windows updates, drivers, language packs, and even third-party applications into your installation disc. To integrate updates, you’ll have to download their installer files and load them into RT Seven Lite with the Add button.

• On the Features Removal or Components tab, you can permanently remove components from your Windows installation disc and control which Windows features are installed by default. For example, you can remove the included games from your Windows installer disc, or force Windows to install the IIS web server by default.

• The Tweaks tab allows you to customize the default settings for the Windows Control Panel, Desktop, Explorer, and a variety of other Windows components. You can even add custom registry settings to tweak other settings that aren’t present in the list.

• The Unattended section allows you to create an unattended installation disc – you provide answers to installation questions beforehand and Windows will install without asking you these questions during the installation process.

• For example, you can enter your product key ahead of time so Windows won’t ask you for it. The other tabs allow you to control other settings – for example, selecting the hard disks that Windows will install on. If you complete enough of these settings, Windows will install automatically without asking you any questions during the installation, allowing you to perform an unattended Windows installation.

• The Customization pane allows you to add custom screensaver, wallpapers, themes, documents, and even logon screens to your Windows 7 disc.

On the ISO Bootable pane, you can create a ISO image from your customized installation disc. You can also burn it to a DVD or copy it to a bootable USB drive.

How to Protect Important Files

How to Protect Important File

Every day we store more and more files on our computers. Most of them are only useful for a certain period of time, whereas other files are so important or valuable that we want to keep them forever. And we can. But, to make sure we do, it’s best to protect important files. Here are a few tips that will help.

Know what you are doing

About to rearrange your file structure or feel like cleaning up your computer? Don’t just start. Be sure you know what you are doing. Make a backup, just in case. Also have some method in your work. For example, it’s a good idea to open two Windows Explorer windows and work from left (old destination) to right (new destination). And make sure you are clear about your new file structure before you start. Otherwise you risk deleting some important files.

Tweak program settings

Do you know where your favorite programs save the files you work on? And did you know that some applications delete all associated files when you uninstall them, even if you are simply upgrading the software? To protect your files, make sure you understand the settings of the programs you like to work with.

Tip: create a ‘data partition’ on which you store all your personal files and configure your applications save files to this partition. By default, Windows and most applications save your files in the ‘My Documents’ folder in your C: drive. To avoid losing your files when Windows crashes and speed up making backups, it’s much easier (and safer) to have all your files stored on a separate partition.

Make regular backups

Often said, but just as often neglected. Make regular backups! These days almost everybody has at least one external hard disk lying around, there are good easy-to-use backup utilities available and there are several online backup services around. There is no excuse to keep neglecting backing up your important files.

Install file recovery software

Save your files from accidental deletions and hard disk crashes by installing file recovery software. When you want to recover deleted files, it is all about doing this as soon as possible while using your computer as little as possible. Having file recovery software installed will save you a lot of unnecessary stress and is the best guarantee that you’ll quickly recover lost or deleted files.

Use a file shredder to permanently delete files

Did you pass on your old computer or SD card to your little nephew? Did you sell your smartphone on eBay? Simply formatting your hard disk or SD card will notdelete files permanently. They will be easily recoverably with file recovery software. If you can use file recovery software to recover files, so can everybody else. Use a file shredder utility to permanently delete files you don’t want others to find.

Password-protect your private files

Do you share your computer? Even when every user has their own user account, it is still possible to access files from another user account. If you share your home or office computer, you might want to consider password-protecting your private files. You can even password-protect whole directories. Just make sure you don’t lose your password. Trust me, it’s a good idea to take the storage of your important and private files seriously.

Following these six simple tips will prevent you from losing your important files and make sure your private files stay private.
