Ok, I restarted my computer and now some things are gone. That jingle noise I hear when I start Windows XP no longer plays. The volume control doesn't appear on the TASKBAR anymore. I can't play midis anymore. I try going to the volume control by going to the control panel>>>sounds and audio devices and the enable volume control on taskbar is checked, it won't appear. When I goto the volume control from sounds and audio devices, I don't hear the "boink" noise when I click on the master volume bar. Also, my midi devices don't seem to be there anymore.

I did not do anything to do this. I need some help, badly.Try restarting your computer again.......If that doesn't work, try System Restore to go back about 2 days.
Have you installed anything recently?
What antivirus protection do you have?

If it's only the sound that is not working, check your sound driver/sound card.How do I do system restore?

::EDIT::

Never mind, I found out.

Thanks alot, it helped out just about everything I mentioned on here.Follow these steps:
1. Go to Control Panel (catagory view)
2. Click on Performance and Maintenance
3. At the left side under 'See Also' click on System Restore
When you're in the System Restore Menu
1. Make sure the 'Restore my computer to an earlier time' circle is ticked and click Next
2. In the small calender, click on a date 2 days before today and click Next
3. Make sure all programs are closed and click Next again.
The computer will take slightly longer to boot but you won't loose anything like recently SAVED work but recently installed programs might be uninstalled.Sorry to BUST into your topic but I'm new and don't' know where to put this question ...ok my 10 year old did something to his computer (he has no Internet) it has window 98 ..it boots up but then a black SCREEN and that's it nothing so i restarted it in safe mode but now what ?
