I have a situation where I lost the ability to control several features of my
computer.

I have and ABIT IC7 motherboard with on-board audio. I run Windows 2000 Pro

The two devices that no longer function are

1. All audio has somehow vanished, even the small speaker icon at the bottom
of the screen. The speaker work as I have tried them another computer.

2. While the BIOS recognizes the CD-ROM drive, anytime I put a CD in it, it
says that the CD is not formatted and would i like to format it now? OF
course it is formatted. The drive will however recognize the Windows 2000
installatiion disc. I tried reinstalling Windows 2000 Pro, but it made no
difference.

I hate to keep thrashing in the dark, so I am asking of anyone has any
bright ideas. How about you Dave?

All suggestions gratefully received.

What update did you install? If you look at Device Manager, is the sound
device still listed? If so, what is it's status? Do you still have the
problem with the CD Rom drive if you boot the system to Safe Mode?
