that's your problem... ok, i admit xp is a decent os. if the icon ain't there, just unplug the thing? maybe you can check if the volume is mounted with explorer before (or with the add hardware thing in the control panel). guesses, guesses...

edit: "thanks your problem"? wtf...

Thanks man, it should be there for my MP3 player and my camera too. It's just gone. Probably time for a format anyway. I run XP because I do not want to buy 7 and my XP is registered. I rather have a registered XP than a cracked 7.

The biggest problem we're all going to have is "Internet Channels" being blocked if you don't have "cable TV".

It's already happening in certain areas. Here's how it works... Say you have Road Runner in Chicago, but you have DirecTV instead of Time Warner Cable. Well, when you connect to ESPN3.COM, they check to see if you also get their cable channel. If not, they block your IP for their video feeds.

ABC, CBS, NBC, SyFy, Disney, ESPN, FOX, MTV are all doing this now in certain markets.

Oh, and it's not just your PC that can be affected. The 360, GoogleTV, Wii, ANY Internet connected device can be blocked by the host.

And it's not just the "broadcaster" blocking, it's also the cable company. They don't want you watching TV on the web if you're not paying for their cableTV service.

Watch out also for the "can't skip" commercial shit. DVR'd shows don't always allow you to fast forward through commercials now. Same goes for the "On-Demand" channels.

The wife told me that Hulu doesn't let you fast forward through their commercials too.

So I'm having an issue with my windows computer (imagine that...)

I have a couple year old E-machines from my old job.

I had XP on it, drivers no issue everything is good to go.

I had to install Office 2010 for one of my classes and it wouldn't load cause I had the 64 bit version and my XP was 32, I ask my computer lab what to do and they gave me a free copy of Win 7 Professional (pretty bad ass and free right?)

I got the copy of 7 on the computer without issue but my drivers were all fuckered up, especially the audio.

According to E-Machines I'm supposed to have the Realtek 6.0.1.5404, so I download it and install it. Like most stupid ass windows programs I have to restart my computer to finish the installation.

I restart and when the PC comes back up, windows update is updating the audio driver to some generic ass audio driver that assists in making nothing work from an audio aspect. I have found zero ways to turn off the windows update so it doesn't interfere with the finalization of the realtek drivers which "should" in theory make the audio work.

So what the fuck do i do?

You should be able to turn off ALL windows updates so you can install the ones you want. I did that so my Office 07 would keep stable and I have had zero issues once I did that.

I don't have Win7 so I can't help, but I do have an issue of my own.

My ISP speeds are 3 mps download and 256 kbs upload. When I d/l I get about 250 kps max, and sometimes, 400 kps combined when I'm d/l'ing multiple files, but that is very rare. When I upload I max at 25 kps which means it takes 2 hours to upload a 100 mb file to RS, HF or MU. I've tried using a accelerator, but that doesn't help at all. I'd like to share more videos, but it ties up my computer because of the amount of processor and memory it uses and the long time it takes. Most times leaving it running overnight doesn't help.

I'm open to any suggestion that don't involve bending over and taking it in the ass or sucking someone off.

I don't know if this will help, but might give some insight to your situation:

I know it helped me by pointing out that my RWIN values were way off then what they should be.

Did you get the driver installer from Realtek or eMachines? In either event, try right-clicking and running the driver installer executable as Administrator. If that doesn't work, you should be able to tell the installer where to cache the drivers themselves and then force Windows 7 to use one of them. Signed-versus-Unsigned drivers is the most awkward thing about 7.

Either way I try to run it, it makes me restart and then I fall into the same issue
