Thanks! It worked. Thanks very much, Bee Cee Bee, the system restore worked perfectly. I'll remember that one for the next time I do something dumb! Cheers, great website. Ari

yeah i have shutdown overnight, and i don't know how to do a system restore. sorry.

hi all, so glad that something like this exists, hopefully i can sort out my (pretty dumb) error! I've posted it in the software section, though i'm not entirely sure if that's the right place. Cheers! ari

Hi all, I seem to have done something rather dumb. my pc (toshiba portege) was running really slowly, and a friend said to delete programs I didn't use. So i went into Control Panel-> add or remove programs, and deleted what i thought was a sound recording software I'd added. But, weirdly after about an hour, I stopped being able to hear sounds, like on youtube etc. I also can't adjust the volume of the pc, and when I go into control panel->sounds and audio devices I can't adjust any options. It says No Audio Device in the volume tab. So, i think i've stupidly deleted the software for my audio device or something? oops. Any sugggestions for how to get sound back? I don't really know much about computers, so pretty basic info or details would be great. I'm running windows XP, not sure if it's the professional or home version, i think professional. Thanks so much for any advice!
