| Hi there,
|
| If anyone has ever experienced this also.
|
| When I boot up my computer for the first few minutes it is normal.
| Everything looks and works just fine. After 5 minutes, the taskbar
| changes to the old windows grey either Windows 98 or 2000 style. My
| sound goes out also.
|
| I go to the control panel to look at my devices, everything is in
| order. But it says "No Audio Device".
|
| I updated all the drivers and change my taskbar style to the XP style.
| ReBoot the computer and 5 minutes later, the taskbar changes back to
| the grey style and the sound goes out also.
|
| Anyone know what virus I got?
|
| I ran a Virus scan with Avast!, Spybot, Ad-Aware to no avail.
|
