I rebooted a couple of times while trying to work the sound problem, and now the video seems to be ok again.<BR/><BR/>Very odd.Tedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09986529278507540075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5542903.post-7389247283720627292008-09-07T14:18:00.000-05:002008-09-07T14:18:00.000-05:00Sound problem: Do you have a built-in sound card o...Sound problem: Do you have a built-in sound card or a discrete sound card? If built-in, it may have been deactivated somehow--check the BIOS setup. If discrete, it may be going bad. You can also go to the Device Manager (right-click on My Computer and select PROPERTIES, then HARDWARE tab, then DEVICE MANAGER) and look for any yellow flags. A yellow flag means a hardware prob of some sort. BTW, that means it could be bad hardware or a driver problem.<BR/><BR/>Start/Stops: Maybe your resources are getting sucked up. Do a CTRL-ALT-DEL to bring up the task manager, then click on the PROCESSES tab, and CPU to sort CPU usage by highest.System Idle Processes should be first; if something else is sucking up your CPU that may be the culprit. Keep in mind slightly older versions of Firefox got really bloated, really fast, and might be contributing to this kind of problem.Victorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01094693913202628541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5542903.post-43354598708139935102008-09-07T06:57:00.000-05:002008-09-07T06:57:00.000-05:00Nope, not on Vista.

This is a slightly older machine, so it might be a driver problem if the software has upgraded beyond the capabilities of my video card. <BR/><BR/>So far, it's an annoyance. I'm not going to replace this perfectly functional PC just because I can't watch YouTube.Tedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09986529278507540075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5542903.post-72118624681828397262008-09-06T21:40:00.000-05:002008-09-06T21:40:00.000-05:00It sounds like a driver problem.
