On the start tab, click disable ALL, click apply, click OK, restart the computer... Log onto facebook... do what you do normally and see if the problem is corrected..In order to get out of freeze issue follow the given steps:

Update your drivers

That should not be necessary - but it's a good troubleshooting step

Update your drivers

Only if needed. Drivers should NEVER be updated unless there is a need to do so. It is possible the sound drive does need to be updated in this particular case.

clean the registry of corrupted files

Nonsense

Do a scan of your computer with a top flight registry repair program

More nonsense --- DO NOT use registry utilities. They can not help and as often as not they cause problems

Okay, now LET's talk about what to do.

Does this happen only when playing music? If so, with all apps you use to play music or only one? What happens in safe MODE (please TRY)? Quote from: Allan on April 16, 2010, 06:23:10 AM
