I was trying to speed up my girlfriends comp by cleaning out the startup
programs using "run...msconfig". After I did this, upon restart, the audio
driver was not recognized (Control Panel). Other things that have ceased to
work right:
- Windows XP theme is no longer an option, only Windows Classic
- The printer was not recognized when trying to print, and when I tried to
reinstall the printer software, AutoPlay would not open when the CD was put
in the drive
- Whenever a sound should play, i get the internal error beep from the comp
- The internet, word, and other files seem to be working fine
I using the Dell CD to reinstall the audio driver, and it appears as if the
files are there, just not the function of the software.
I tried messing around with the msconfig startup to be in diagnostic,
normal, custom modes. I have tried every combination of settings so I dont'
think its something in there.
What I think is missing is the link between loading the hardware at startup
and having it run when windows starts. Like there should be a file that
loads to recognize all the connected hardware or something like that.
What's my best bet here? Thanks all for your help.
