    - Share Command Missing I've lost the command to share a folder in the context menu when I right-click on a folder. Is there a registry setting to restore the command? I had recently lost the "New" command also but was able to restore it through the registry. My existing shares are still accessible, but I'm not able to modify the settings or unshare the folder. I'm not certain what's causing the disappearing commands. I've thoroughly checked the system, and it appears to be clean. Tag: sound Tag: 247970

    - leave on or turn off?? My father-in-law has a 5 year old computer and was told by a technician that it is perfectly fine to leave the computer on 24/7 and there will be no risk of damage or other problems resulting from that. What do all of you think? I was taught that it is better on computer components if they are given an opportunity to cool down and that Windows was designed to be rebooted at least once every day.

    - Tired of Viruses Ok, here is a new issue for me, but by far the most frustrating. I have run all 3 of my virus programs, all say I'm clean, yet when I go launch my home page (yahoo), it loads for a second, then switches to "about:blank" (some search page virus). What's worse, is when I go to MSN to check my Hotmail, it will let me sign in, see that I have 12 messages there, then quick flash to that "about:blank". I have not been able to get my email in days, nor will it let me get to any "Help" or "Contact us" pages at either MSN or Yahoo. I continually edit the information in the registry to remove any mention of "about:blank", yet even with system restore off, it does not save may changes. Any help offered would be very appreciated, I am so ready to give up and just toss this thing out the window. Tag: sound Tag: 247934

    - Putting Icon on Start Bar RH side What is the right hand side of the Start Bar called? And how does one put an icon on the right hand side where the time, volume control etc are? I've done it several times before but my mind has gone completely blank now. Incidentally, I could just drag and put one on the LH side which is easy. What actually is the difference between the two. I know on the LH side it is only a shortcut while those on the RH side are memory resident. Any into appreciated. As I said, my mind has gone completely blank.

    - power cut during defragmentation I was defragmenting my hard drive using Speed Disk from Norton Utilities 2002 when there was a power cut. When the electricity came back on the computer wouldn't boot to Windows Me, it advised me to start in Safe Mode, and when I try to do this it thinks for a moment then goes straight to "it is now safe for you to turn off your computer. I used the Norton Utilities CD to run Disk Doctor without going into Windows, and it found a few problems, most of which I had had before (missing shortcuts etc.) and I pressed Y to fix these. It also found that the File Allocation Tables didn't match, and I pressed Y to fix them as well. It told me to insert a floppy disc to record the changes it was making. It proceeded to fix the problem but it ran out of space on the floppy disk and tried to back out of the repair. It then had a problem backing out as well. Sorry, but I don't remember what it said exactly, I was getting pretty flustered. I ran Disk Doctor again and it found thousands of lost chains (or something like that). Now, when I switch the computer on I am told that I have got an invalid system disk. I'm sorry I am not very clear, I realize now I should have written everything down. I hope that someone has the time to work out what I mean. There are some pictures on the computer that I don't want to lose. My computer is made by Dell, it has nearly 100GB hard drive which was about 30% full. Tag: sound Tag: 247853

    - System Restore problem I used to get the "cannot update %1 %2" message while rebooting. I asked for help and got it using the ATTRIB - H -S -R etc method. Then I get the "cannot create a restore point . Restart the computer etc." The help I got from the Microsoft site used to work. That is Method 2, Scanreg /restore etc. Now that doesn't work either and my System Restore sits there like a white elephant.

In the right pane the following is listed: (default) (value not set) FirstRun "N" LogDir "c:\_RESTORELOGS" StaticVxD "VxDMon" SystemFileProtection "Y" SytemRestore "Y" TempDir "c:\_RESTORETEMP" VxdCfg "C:\_RESTORE\VxDMon.cfg" VxdDat "C:\_RESTORE\VxDMon.dat" I don't know if any of that means anything but I thought I'd tell you anyway.

    - missing network, system icons from Control Panel These two controls suddenly stopped working - double click yielded nothing. Following instructions I found in the MS knowledge base, I renamed the netcpl.cpl and sysdm.cpl files. This caused the icons to disappear. So far, so good. I used the system config tool to extract these two files from the CABs on the hard disk (in SAFE mode as the instructions again required). I then moved the files to the \windows\system folder and rebooted in normal mode. No new icons. In a command window I tried control netcpl.cpl and get nothing, same for the sysdm.cpl control. Other controls work correctly when executed from the command line. I checked the control.ini file and these two controls are not in the "Do not run" section. I've run out of ideas and have found nothing more on the net. For what it's worth, my networking is still working, at least for now. Tag: sound Tag: 247821

Owen - try this.....
Reboot to Safe Mode
Open Device Manager
Remove ALL Sound &Multimedia devices
Remove ALL error-flagged devices
Remove ALL entries in the 'Other Devices' branch - if present
Reboot to Normal Mode - Windows will reinstall the required drivers,
hopefully curing your problem.
