WindowsXp system drivers \ kmixer.sys

from time to time my sound driver just stops. The machine is just sitting
idle and for no apparent reason it just stops. I check system devices and
see the error icon for Microsoft Wave Audio mixer and it says kmixer.sys
corrupt. Once I reboot it's okay for awhile. Can I remove this file and
would I find it on my WindowsXP cd under drivers to replace it or is there
more to it than that?

Thanks,

If you get a corrupt file message and you reboot and everything is fine it
is possible that you should check your RAM and even your hard disk for
errors.

Thank you. I have 1gb ram and plan to upgrade to 2gb. I thought 1gb should
be enough, but after upgrading IE I started to have the problem.

Thanks again,
