WOOOHOOOO, ive had this problem for quite some time, all started when i updated my
creative sound blaster drivers. Emailed creative about it and they told me it is
a error that sometimes happens that messes up the registry, and they said the only
way to fix it was to reinstal windows xp. So i just dealt with it. Today decided
to search for a fix and found this.
Many thanks out to those here that found the solution.
