I recently removed the Roxio Easy Media Creator program from my Toshiba laptop, but I think the process also removed my system's sound. I've updated the system drivers, but when I check properties for the sound devices, I get the message: "Windows successfully loaded the device driver for this hardware, but cannot find the hardware device (code 41)." Each sound and audio device listed in the Device Manager on the PC is enabled but has a yellow exclamation point in front of it. Is there a way to get my sound back? http://www.physorg.com/news169320316.html Technology Thu, 13 Aug 2009 03:30:01 EST news169320316 (AP) -- Having lost the video format war, Toshiba Corp. said Monday it will make Blu-ray disc products and plans to join the once-rival camp, the Blu-ray Disc Association. http://www.physorg.com/news169118646.html Technology Mon, 10 Aug 2009 10:24:34 EST news169118646 Toshiba Corp. said Wednesday it aimed to expand its energy, healthcare and environment-related businesses as it targets a strong recovery in earnings within the next three years. http://www.physorg.com/news168697657.html Technology Wed, 05 Aug 2009 15:30:02 EST news168697657 Toshiba Corporation today announced the launch of the world's first 64GB SDXC Memory Card with the world's fastest data transfer rate compliant with the new SD Memory Standard Ver. 3.00, UHS 104. http://www.physorg.com/news168622732.html Electronics Tue, 04 Aug 2009 16:40:03 EST news168622732 Japanese high-tech giant Toshiba said Wednesday it had lost more than 600 million dollars in the fiscal first quarter as the economic downturn hit sales of televisions and other electronics. http://www.physorg.com/news168074284.html Technology Wed, 29 Jul 2009 08:50:02 EST news168074284 Japan's Toshiba Corp. will enter the Blu-ray DVD market, more than a year after it gave up on its own next-generation format that failed to gain industry support, a report said. http://www.physorg.com/news167209843.html Electronics Sun, 19 Jul 2009 08:11:14 EST news167209843 Researchers from across Europe have united to build the largest quantum key distribution network ever built.
