Hi Peter.

If my sound goes again I will check out my Volume Control. Don't want to mess around too much with the Restore function at the moment Peter. I'd hate to make a mess of it again.

Regarding the flashing on my display Peter. I exchanged my wireless keyboard and mouse and plugged in a spare keyboard and mouse to see if perhaps it was the wireless system that was causing the problem. I still got the flashing, so that rulls that out.

I've noticed that just before the flash, my mouse pointer changes to an egg timer. The message is only up for a brief moment, even Pauline cannot read it. It's like a flash across the middle of the screen and it occurs like a pulse. Never came across anything like it. I have Norton and did a full scan and nothing was picked up.

You said that it could be messenger. I think I still have Shoot the Messenger so I'll try running tat later.

Best wishes.
Andy

Hi Andrew,
Did you check the mute all checkbox within volume control before
you did a restore? I have often had my system go silent, only to find
that, for some reason or other, something had disabled all sound by
having that check box checked. I can't for the life of me determine what
program caused it specifically, but this has occurred whenever I have 1.
closed real player, 2, closed Jaws, 3, closed winamp. In all cases I
closed these programs with an alt F4, which, I think, placed a check in
the mute all checkbox of volume control. You can either, undo the last
restore and check out that checkbox, or consider that perhaps your
flashing window is from Messenger service in which case you will need to
run shoot the messenger. Another thing you can try is go into Sygate and
select, allow all from the pull down menu.

Peter

Hi all.

Yesterday, for no reason, I lost all sound on my computer.  Despite
re-booting a number of times, jaws simply did not come on atboot up.  I
resolved the problem by Restoring my computer back one day.  However,
all
day today I am getting a message  on my display which is not there long
enough for even my wife to read.  It comes in a flash and seems to cover
the
whole of the centre of the screen.  I have my computer set onto High
Contrast number 2, so the bright flashing message is really quite
annoying.
It seems to flash every ten seconds or so.  Anyone any idea what is
causing
this.


Best wishes.
Andy from sunny Kilcreggan.
