IF it is similar to my situation and has only happened recently, you could have a look at the list of installed updates and see what has been installed by windows around that time. Then bit by bit, un-install them.

And where do I look for installed updates?

Thanks SO much.

Melody

NEVER MIND, I went to control panel, add/remove programs, selected SHOW UPDATES, and the whole thing popped up (SO MANY), but the latest update was for March 2011. All the rest in 2011 were in Feb, and they were security updates for Internet Explorer. So I don't think it has anything to do with updates. Thanks, Mel

Mrs. D.

Too complicated for me.

If my sound goes, I'll just reboot. We need to get a new computer anyway. Ours is over 7 years old, Windows XP, etc. etc.

Someday!!!

lol

Yes - I got about 6 updated files from MS last week and about 14 of them in April 21...


Maybe you need to manually run your updater Melody -
could be something turned off your automatic updates and that might be part of the problem???
