yes i have tried to play music and it wont let me, when i try thru i tunes the song just wont play, its not just no sound. and wen i go to the device manager, the only thing that has anything next to it is multimedia audio controller. wen i right click it it gives me the options to uninstall, update driver, disable, or scan for hardware changes.

ok first no i dont have any sound at all, not even start up or shut dow sounds. I just went to windows and downloaded and installed all updates, i am attaching a list of the ones i downloaded and installed, these are the only 9 available to me.

The problem with this was that after i installed them all, of course i had to restart my system, but wen it started back up it was like my graphics card was disabled, i could only use the lowest color setting and it looked similar to safe mode, only not in safe mode. so i did a system restore to before the installation and that fixed the problem. so before i try this again which update should i not install to keep this from happening again?? O and i also tried my sound before i did the rollback, still didnt work.

i recently wiped my computer screen and started over from scratch


Could you explain what you did? was it clean install of XP, a repair? What is this "wiping of computer screen"? Did you change anything in the BIOS?
