Jeno;
Thanks for writing. I appreciate it. Yes, the sound worked fine up until a month
ago or so but I do not use the sound that much. I noticed one day that the little
volume icon was no longer on the task bar and when I started looking for it, I found
it on Programs>Accessories>Entertainment but when I tried to open it, it would do
nothing when I clicked on it. The deeper I went, the more confused I got. Ha How
does one remove a sound card? Is it an actual physical card that can be removed if
the PC is opened? All of this has to be factory installed on this Dell since I have
never done anything but install a new modem a couple of years back. We had a power
surge back then and I guess it affected the modem. Got another at Wal-Mart and it
worked fine. But I have never worked with the "sound thing". It is an area of quick
sand for me and I am apprehensive about doing stuff in the "guts" of the PC if you
know what I mean. Let me know about the process and I will gladly give it a try.
I had a worm/virus thing and working to get rid of it I guess I deleted something
important with respect to the sound. God, I had to delete half of everything in the
PC. This thing's name was emailVerified.jsp;jsession......270 more characters in
length and the only way I could address it was to delete everything around it and
then delete the entire category of "documents".
Thanks again,
Tony
