    Can Audio Service be activated in Safe Mode?


    My computer is on its death bed. However, I can run it in safe mode. Many of the available troubleshooting hints & tips are videos on YouTube. Without sound, these videos are useless. Is there a way to activate Window's Audio Service while running in safe mode? I have Win7 SP1 on an HP laptop. I don't have access to another PC at my location.

    TIA for any assistance that may be provided.

    Found this on YouTube, it has no sound but should work for you.



    Hope this helps,

    Be careful running on line in safe mode. Not all the security that is in Win 7 is running in safe mode.
