I too al the sudden had problems with no volume. I actually lost the SpeakerIcon in the tray. I would have to reload my audio drivers every time I rebooted......I even left the audio driver CD in the CDROM. All the sudden, I now have audio volume, but my Icon is still missing and I cannot pull up my audio window that lets me turn on and off certain audio devices..........HELP!

Hello! I just joined this forum and I have a question and a comment to make. First off, after seeing all the problems associated with SP2, I think I will just wait until there is a newer version. Am I OK just using the SP1? I play internet [censored] extensively and I have heard about some new hacks where someone can put a trojan in my PC that shows my "hold cards"........I just can't have that happen.......I play for high stakes. I was told it was because I do not have SP2 installed. Any validity to that? Is there any real reason I should install SP2, or am I OK just using SP1 for now? Please keep in mind that I am not very good at fixing problems, I simply do not know enough about computers to do it. I am, however, somewhat knoweledgable about computers, but I consider myself a novice so I don't overload my plate and get into trouble. Even some of the fixes mentioned here in this thread is over my head, so please be gentle! BTW, my computer works very well as it is, and I have NEVER had a problem with my XP Pro so far. I was using Windows ME, and that was a total nightmare....BSOD all the time, crashed a lot, and had video feed problems as well. This XP Pro works flawlessly on my PC as it is. I have an Intel Pentium 4 1.4 gig processor with 382MB ECC RDRAM, nVidia FX5900 Ultra Video Card with 256MB ram, 21 inch Hitachi SuperScan Monitor, plenty of fans (9 total including 2 on the side with an exhaust fan as well, constantly runs at about 90 degrees F, and overclocks very well. Oh yes, I Do have one tiny problem.....I switched my refresh rate to 100Hz, and everytime I reboot, my screen has about an inch of black on each side, and about a half inch (1/4 inch on top and bottom)too tall.........and I have to go and manually adjust the width and height to be correct. It is a slight pain to do. I understand that the PC still thinks it's at 60Hz for some reason, what do I do to make it correct itself? I used the nVidia refresh rate overide PLUS I changed the refresh rate in the designated box in the regular video card refresh rate box as well. [Edited by RMORIALLI on 2005-01-28 13:23:37]
