My music, games etc freeze my computer
About 3 wks ago a game I had been playing Bejeweled2 just froze every time I
launched it. I removed it - it won't re-install. Now when I go into My Music, double click a track it opens in iTunes, or Windows Media PLayer - looks like it is playing or freezes, go on the internet which is working fine go onto YouTube, or Live Radio etc - shows as though it is playing sound - but its not. Or it freezes! I have run all the suggestions through help and support centre, dxdiag etc - all works properly it says! When I switch on my computer it plays the normal jingle though and the intermittent bongs etc like when a new email comes still play too. What else can I try?Any help will be very gratefully received! Thanks in anticipation! |

Go to Start/Run, and type DEVMGMT.MSC , highlight ALL of the Sound devices,
Action menu, "Uninstall", (do Not put a check in 'delete driver") then Action menu,"scan for hardware changes", to find the device drivers again automatically. -- click the Ratings button.
