The sound came back today all of a sudden.

Also getting redirected at times to some crazy search engine or also to download a file. Only sometimes though.

Check the connections ONeill, I know it sounds like the most obvious in the world... and the software I linked to should sort your problem out as well

welcome to my world.

got the blue screen earlier on again at start up, had to reboot 3 times, its still saying that a piece of hardware or software isnt installed properly. I have even looked at a system restore, there were no points available which is strange as i have never turned it off

What message is the BSOD giving SB?

Square Ball · July 13, 2009, 10:45:30 AM

diddnt write it down, but no doubt it will occur later on and i will do it, looking like a full refresh soon

Depending on the error, it may be fixable.

I am assuming XP, may I ask which version and what the most recent service pack you have installed is?

Square Ball · July 13, 2009, 10:58:25 AM

version 2002 and the service pack that is showing on system properties is service pack 3

ok

Do you know whether there is a i386 folder other than the ones in C:\WINDOWS\ and do you have a windows cd?

Square Ball · July 13, 2009, 11:49:24 AM

then i search for i386 i got a few, those not beginning with C:\windows

3 in lib and one in c:\f41e3493b1d8b0069d6273c2b is this the offending one?

theres a few in c:\programfiles\jave

I have no idea where the windows disc is, it wasnt well a proper one

ok do you know if the recovery console is installed?

If it is you should see reference to it when you start the computer

No idea, would that be a similar menu as safe mode? I dont want to re boot at the minute in case I dont get back on? do you think its a single file that I can reinstall from a disc?

ardmhachaabu · July 13, 2009, 12:45:41 PM

Yes it's similar - if you can get into recovery console then there are commands you can try, depending on what your BSOD is...
