| 1383833 | 2014-09-14 09:48:00 | Looks like useless AVG was the cause of the sound disappearing. Tried for what felt like years to get the sound working. Then decided to remove AVG just now. And the bloody sound came back lol And now windows defender wont start. So have just removed spybot to see if that's the cause of that not starting. Soon find out after a reboot The error was 0x800706cc WT. It said something like endpoint is a duplicate, when I tried to start the Windows Audio service. I have no idea what it means. But the sound is going now So if you get this error (if AVG is installed) uninstall it then use its removal tool. And if you get an error 577 after reboot (when you try to start windows defender on Windows 8, remove Spybot). See if that fixes it |

| 1383834 | 2014-09-14 10:41:00 | And I think Iobit malware fighter screws windows defender in Windows 8 up. After I removed it windows defender decided to work (its services - 2 of them decided to enable themselves) | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1383835 | 2014-09-14 10:53:00 | Awhhh Good ol AVG screwing things up again. :D Wouldn't be the first time or last AVG causes problems. It does more damage than any virus ;) To tell you the truth, when working on any PC, if its got AVG on thats the first thing that comes out, its amazing how many times "problems" disappear once that is removed (including startup related problems). Wrong code eh ! :) o instead of 0 Doing a google search for 0x800706cc brings up plenty of results - most audio related as well. (just a theory) on some google searches, its looking like theres something in AVG that may conflict with windows updates. :2cents: Good result Speedy :thumbs: |

| 1383836 | 2014-09-14 10:55:00 | Yup only took what bloody 12+ hrs to figure that out lol | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1383837 | 2014-09-14 11:10:00 | And some people complain when a business charges for fixing problems . Didn't you have the "no problem a couple of key strokes and mouse click fix" :p :lol: |

| 1383839 | 2014-09-14 22:19:00 | Amazing how some jobs can take so long yet they'd be so easily done if you could start from the endpoint!! Like the VERY slow update I had a short while ago. If only I had killed it immediately and then clicked on the troubleshooter! "If only" - two of the greatest words of all time. |

| 1383840 | 2014-09-14 22:28:00 | lol. Well the other thing was control panel was blank. Not too sure if AVG did this too. But I found a site where you had to re-register 2 dll files. (jscript, and vbscript.dll). It also said to re-register mshtml.dll. But this brought up an error I tried to use the audio troubleshooter too. But it kept freezing on me, when I tried. Tried to use Gpedit, but it kept on bringing up an error. Later I found out why lol. It's not 8.1 Pro. It doesnt have it And I had to (well I dont know if I had to) go into regedit and change disableantispyware (cant remember the other entry) from 1 to 0. But I did this before I removed Malware fighter. You have to take ownership of these keys. Before you can change the value But, it looks like its OK now. So, it's all good |
