How Do I Record My Voice Into My Computer And Were Do I Find It?

Rok

You need to have a microphone for your computer first, and if you have one, it probably has software that came with it. You'd need to install the software into the computer before you can use the microphone, but once installed, using the microphone is pretty easy. You'd probably find your voice clips in a folder in "My Computer" that's probably in the files for the software you used to install the mic.

Well, yeah, first you'll need a microphone. That's important. If you have one or get one, plug 'er in - either it'll plug into a USB port or an analog port on the back or front of your computer - the port will be pink and the same size of a headphone jack (usually it's by a headphone jack if it's on the front). Some laptops have built in microphones.

Next you'll need a program to record sound. If you run Windows (Which you probably do. Check to see if you have a "start" menu. if you don't you probably don't run windows. If you do, Windows comes with a functional, easy-to-use sound recorder, but it doesn't have many features. It's called Sound Recorder (what a creative name ). It'll be in the start menu under accessories and entertainment. Here's a picture of what it looks like:

click It may also look like this.

If you can't find it in the Start menu, go to Start, click run, and type "sndrec32" it should pop up. Click the record button and get going.

If you don't run windows or you want one with more features, download Audacity. It's free, no tricks, no 30-day limit. Just download and enjoy.

If you still can't record tell me and I'll walk you through it

@CHTrilogy: Given that McAfee doesn't provide replacement files up for downloading, you can't do anything about it until you get the original disk. Or if you got it online, you can try calling the support line and ask for help there.

I'm assuming that you're talking about a laptop. Since you have used your machine for about two years it's normal for the battery to start losing it's capacity. If you can find the right battery, you can try replacing the battery, or take it to a repair shop and tell them to replace the battery and whatnot.

Alright, this is normal? Thanks.

Read that, it would help.

Having an operating system preloaded is always worse than wiping the drive and installing it yourself. The reason being that manufacturers are notorious for having various "free" (usually for the first 15 days or something) programs spammed all over the system, thus bogging it down and generally being a pain.

Plus manufacturers usually aren't that great at optimization or stability. I seem to recall Dell shipping a system with a quad core (Q6600) that ran 94C. Of course that CPU is rated at 62C (under the B3 stepping it shipped with). The one I built runs at 36-38C.

Buying (or far better yet, building) a computer that comes with Vista SP1 is fine, even if it's preinstalled, I'd just recommend wiping the drive and putting a clean install on before using it. Just remember to reload the drivers once it's done.

Ah, I see....

I should be able to reinstall Vista after I did that, wouldn't I?

That's the stuff it comes preloaded with... it's an Acer, so yeah.

Then why do they work for my friend?

Is there a way for you to not view ads?

Whenever I try to create a new account for Lego Shop at home or log in to a website I can't mention, a security certificate thing pops up and won't let me enter the information. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Does anyone know how to report a member(s) and/or their IP address to AOL for banning? I have AIM and my old drummer keeps spamming me, and I'm sick of him just making new accounts to bypass the blocks.

Get Firefox and install Adblocker.


My question is, my laptop overheats. A lot. To the point where I can't put my hand by the vents. This has caused my video games to run slowly, and the overall performance to drop. I think it might be Norton Internet Security, because I've heard that it makes the computer work more. I've tried a cooling pad, but it didn't work. A window fan works okay, but they're too clunky. I'm using a small portable fan right now, but I'd prefer something better. Is there anyway to cool my laptop down?

foremost, it's a laptop.

ouch.

I did have a PC that was overheating a lot, shutting down etc., turns out it was the problem of the.. video card? It had corrupt drivers causing the onboard fan to spin too much. So you can deffo update drivers, least you can do. I'm not sure what you can do with a laptop though.. additional heatsinks?

Yes, I read a web article that said the same thing. I think I'll get one today and see what happens.

That popup wasn't something you wanted to click. You should've just killed it. What exactly did you install? Something the popup directed you to?

It didn't install

Hey, my new computer didn't come with a Vista CD, so I was wanting to know which things I absolutely need to backup on a burnable DVD to ensure that the computer will be fine if it crashes.

Edit: I can't connect to the internet through Firefox, but I can through IE... I don't recall changing any network connections, unless someone else did. Any ideas?

I have windows vista. I downlaoded dark709's comics the game number two. it wouldn't work. I pm'd darth leppy, maker of the game, and he sent me a "vista compatible" version.
it did not work. help me!

If you don't have the original OS DVD...mm...all of it. The operating system spreads various entries throughout the system, so although you can easily copy the core files (in the 'Windows' folder), other files and registry entries would get left out. In theory it might run off that folder alone (doubt it though), but there'd be so many missing files, registry links, etc. that pretty much everything else would cease to function.

I would use a CD/DVD RW for backing up your vital documents, saved games, etc. and an external (or internal, preferably RAIDed) hard drive for full system backups. Just make sure that when you back up the whole system that it's in good working order. No point in backing up to a nearly broken OS.


Any particular error popping up? I've found that that game is very finicky with a number of different hardware configurations (often simply crashing the system), so I'd be suspicious of that. If it is indeed hardware related, it's likely the video card. Do you happen to know what graphics card you have in the system?

It's just a bunch of compatibility/configuration issues with Game Maker games. I myself can't run Game Maker games on one of my XPs but I can on my other XP and Linux; which are all set to triple-boot on the same HDD. The severity of the crashing also varies. Sometimes the loading bar appears, fills up and the game doesn't start. Sometimes, the game can reboot the whole system after the loading bar fills up.

How do you take screenshots?

Press the Print Screen|SysRq button at the top of the keyboard, then open up an image editor (such as Paint), then past it in (Edit, Paste)

I just downloaded Firefox 3.0.1. Everything works pretty much the same except for the fact that I can't open multiple browsers. I'm only able to open one window of FireFox at a time. Everytime I try to open a new window, nothing happens. Any ideas?

Hmmm, that's odd. I can open multiple FireFox browsers.

|-|\/|

Yeah, well, we have different computers.

The problem with those sites is that the quality drops a lot compared to doing it manually, especially when extracting audio. Those sites also need to to upload your file to the server, then you redownload your file, which can take a while if you have a bad connection.

Renaming files or throwing it in a good converter such WinAVI or VirtualDub is highly reccomended for quality and speed.


In addition to a DVD Drive, you'd also need the right codecs and players. Downloading VLC Player will take care of almost everything.


Try pressing Ctrl+N. If that still doesn't work, uninstall and reinstall it.

How do I do that?

Which OS are you using?

Just XP. We don't have Vista yet. Or ever. Whichever comes first.

Start>Settings>Control Panel>Add and Remove Programs

That scroll down to Firefox and click Change/Remove.

After that, download the installer for Firefox 3.0.1 from the Mozilla and run it.

JPG?! EEEEEEEW!
Lossless or die! use PNG!

Something's probably wrong with the configuration of your OS.

If you can open more windows with Firefox 2, then go ahead and get it.

"HELP!!! For some reason, I cannot access BZPower or Google from my laptop. Every other website works fine, just those two speficially. Even the IM works (this is how Teebert got this message). I've checked the Firewalls and tried restoring my computer to an earlier day and nothing has helped. Any suggestions?"

EDIT: He started using a different browser, everything's fine now.

Yeah, the drawing thing....

I already own the first two, so I'll try the Jashaka thing.

I doubt a program would do any good. Define "haywire". Is it overly jumpy or just not working at all or...?

And likewise what do you mean by "reset" the keyboard. Unless you're running a very specialized (and expensive) keyboard like a G50, there's nothing to reset.


First off, the storm probably had nothing to do with it. You'd have a *lot* more trouble with it if it got hit by a surge. Namely fried components, or at least a shot power supply. Plus if you have a surge protector (found in pretty much every power strip or UPS device), the chances of any storm damage are next to nothing, as the protector will simply blow the fuse before letting the computer take a hit. Oh, and if you can't reach the wall socket, just unplug the cord from the power supply in the computer. Does the exact same thing.

What sorts of information are you looking for? When it comes to stuff like add-ons, I'd just redownload them, as there's generally little customization that you wouldn't be able to repeat easily.

The beauty of Steam is that you don't need to transfer your info as it's all online. Simply install it on another computer and all of your stuff is ready to go, aside from either re-downloading/installing the data, which you'd have to do with any other program anyway. I have and use my Steam account on several computers interchangeably.

Why don't you have a Vista disc to work off? o_0

It's all right, I fixed it....

Ok, this is interesting...

Last year, when Still Feels Goods, the latest Rascal Flatts CD came out, there was a promo by Wal-Mart that gave out three additional RF songs... So, I got that. Naturally, I want to play the whole CD, including those three WMA file format songs. So, because I hadn't listened to them since I got my comp upgraded, it said about the licenses, so I went "Sure, update," But... It doesn't update it on WMP or Winamp... In fact, Winamp flat out says it can't update the license... Any help on how I can listen to the songs?

im thinking about getting spore. will my 04-05 computer be able to run it? i think its a pc but not sure.

I am trying to JavaScript part of an application that will add information to a text box upon clicking a button.

Here is what I need help with:

1). Make it so I can script one thing in two different boxes.

2). Write the actual scripting:

Here is what I have so far, if anyone can edit this so that it would come out right, it would be appreciated:

(Text in DkRed is what I am in trouble with!


If you can help me with this, please PM me with the corrected code!

Thanks a Bunch!
