yes I read that I don't see a driver icon in control panel so I don't know how to remove my drivers, but there is no driver for midi playback device dso I don't think that would help anyway?

Go into control panel/system/device manager and see if it shows an audio device.

Have you tried using Windows' "System Restore" to return Windows to a previous state when your computer was functioning correctly?

[ScottZ]

well im not sure when it happened because I don't use midi everyday, but yeah I did use system restore and that didn't work. Looking in the device manager I do have the vinyl AC97 combo driver.
