1) I can't seem to choose a non standard desktop background as a wallpaper as the 'browse' button in the Display control panel doesn't let me select a file on my hard drive
2) I have no ability to change the volume of the sound on my computer - the icon that used to be on the taskbar has now gone and when I open up the control panel and go into the 'sounds and audio devices' all the buttons on the volume tab are grey out. Furthermore if I try a test sound under the 'sounds' tab it displays the error message 'Windows cannot play the sound %SystemRoot%\media\Windows XP error.wav. Your sound card may be in use." My sound card is clearly working because I can play music and all normal windows dounds work but I've no ability to change or mute the volume.
Neither of these issues are absolutely mission critical but they are annoying as [bleep] - especially number 2 above. Any help you can provide would be gratefully received - I think philanthropic help like this is absolutely fantastic. Cheers from Scotland. I have pasted my hijack file thing below:
