Windows 7 Forum: My Wordpad Document Is Blank! Please Help!

Hello there!



I got done after writing this document for three weeks...Suddenly (today), my document appears to be blank. I didn't download anything..Didn't go on any porn sites (surprisingly), or anything. In fact I didn't go on anything after I finally finished my document, which was finished yesterday.



https://docs.google.com/open?id=0BwAFALX-xjyKeDAydnBGM0xJRGs

there's the link to the document ^




When I highlight the document, it appears to be words there, it's just nothing shows up. It's as if all my text is white. However, the text is clearly black. The font color is still blank, so I don't understand what's going on here.



It's almost as if things were looking too good in my life, so this of course had to happen to even it out.



No matter, I'll never type and save anything in wordpad ever again, that's for sure.




Oh, and when I tried opening this in Windows XP, it shows a string of squares, so it looks like the file is definitely (mysteriously) corrupted.



Any way to fix this? If anybody fixes this, I'll pay that person 10 dollars via paypal





Thank you very much!

Help For Let's Play Recording Game Audio?

So, I'm doing a Let's Play on Amnesia: The Dark Descent. I want to record both in-game audio and my voice from my USB Logitech G35 headset mic. I'm using Bandicam. I do not have Stereo-Mix in my recording options. I'm running Windows XP and my soundcard is Realtek HD. I've tried messing around with Virtual Audio Cable but I either am doing it wrong or it doesn't work for what I want. This is pretty frustrating because Let's Plays are so much better quality when in-game audio is clear. My current setup is to just set my speakers as default playback and lay my headset on my desk and record from the game audio from my speakers with my headset mic and just record myself speaking with the same mic. This is an okay set-up but not what I want. It's very limited.

What I've tried:

- updating Realtek drivers
- using Virtual Audio Cable
- messing with XSplit (didn't really know what to do with it)
- messing with Realtek HD Audio Manager's mixer
- using FRAPS (but since I'm running XP, FRAPS doesn't have the record External Output option)
- recording my voice in audacity and my gameplay audio in Bandicam (didn't work, game audio won't record w/ Bandicam for some reason. I suspect it's the Stereo-Mix problem)

I've read that Realtek doesn't support Stereo-Mix at all anymore. If that's true, what should I do? Buy a new soundcard? If so, what should I buy? I'm not bad with computers, but I'm not proficient by any means.

I would greatly appreciate any help at all with this.

I'm limited with money and my computer probably couldn't handle upgrading to Win 7 or Vista, keep that in mind.

Thanks in advance! (:

High Ping For Seemingly No Reason

Recently I've been having some problems with internet connection. I'd enter a game of lets say League of Legends. I'd have ping around 90-100 (usually is about 50-60), then after about 15 seconds it would spike up to around 600 and stay there. My connection to my router is constantly above 100Mbps. I've tried different internet sticks. I've reset my router and modem. My internet stick also gets fairly hot, and I'm not sure if that is normal or not. I'd appreciate it if anyone can help.

Problem With Audio

Hi all.

I'm new to all this so just excuse any stupid mistakes i make.

To put it simply, it seems that the Audio Driver(s) on my computer are not being recognized, are corrupt or have simply gone. Under Device Manager, Sound, Video and Game Controllers, there is only one option available and that is "Audio Device on High Definition Audio"
Now, I pretty much can't do anything what-so-ever with that, can't update it, scan it for changes, and it wont tell me the manufacturer, version or anything, and wont let me uninstall or roll it back.

I have tried downloading countless (virus free, I think) Sound devices but cannot find any compatibility. I know its not Realtek, thats for sure.

I have been banging my head against the wall for days trying to figure out what is happening, and spent hours researching the internet for similar problems with sound drivers etc but have come short and hit dead ends.

The Speakers, which are manufactured by Creative, work fine when I plug it into my iPod, and yes, the volume is fine and is not muted, in fact, it doesn't show up at all in the bottom right hand corner of the computer. When I go into Sounds and Audio devices under control panel, EVERYTHING is greyed out, and I can't seem to do anything under all tabs. Under the Audio and Voice tabs, there is no devices listed, hence the greying out. It used to say "Modem #0 Line Playback" but not anymore, now it says "No Playback Devices" and similar for other options and tabs.

Any help or advice would be Massively appreciated. Im not sure what info would be helpful so feel free to ask, don't wanna seem like an info leech so ill continue researching and what-not. I am using:

Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition (2002)
Service Pack 3

Samsung Motherboard.

Intel® Core™2 Duo CPU
E4600 @ 2.40GHz
2.87 GB of RAM. (read more)

Hornby Model Railways

I know this may be a bit of a strange topic for this forum :) but to cut a long story short, My son inherited a Train set, and the wife asked if I could do something with it, the first thoughts of Bin were quickly dismissed as it was her late uncles who she was close to, so with great enthusiasm I went in search of info on the net hoping to bedazzle her with figures and cost, and a damn good reason for NOT,

Now this is where the tail takes a strange twist, Model train sets, one train going round and round in circles, Hmm Like me you've never heard of Hornby RailMaster or DCC control, room designated, Table designed, layout designed using SCARM, :D work started but.....

I have a Billion and one questions on what can and can't be done, what's achievable and what's not, so off I go in search of a good forum Ideal for someone who knew nothing about trains or model railways last week,

This however has turned out to be more difficult than I expected, so my question is....

Does anyone else here have an interest in this subject, and can they point me in the direction of a good forum, for a person who has just worked out a 4-6-2 isn't a strange RAM timing. (read more)

Startup Problem

So anyway..., I was using the msconfig startup manager to turn off some things I didn't need so that my computer could boot up faster. I think I might have made a silly mistake and turned off an important application I need to start my computer. The computer starts up fine but as soon as I type my password into windows it just shows a black screen and just stays that way. I currently run Windows Vista Home Premium with my Toshiba Satellite. I've tried booting the computer in safe mode and it didn't seem to work. Could someone help me please? Thanks! (read more)
