i seem to have lost my volume icon and now i have no sound what so ever.. i
checked in the control panel and it tells me that i have no audio
device...which i did have a couple of days ago..The hardware comes up saying
that windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware, the driver may
be corrupted or missing (code 39).. any suggestions would be grateful.. i
think i have just killed the machine.. as i know very little about them..
