Guest lavyheed Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 You can go through your control panel and look for the sound icon to change it, chances are it might just be on mute. Is it xp or vista? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Is it xp or vista? It is Vista I just tried that and no joy, i have turned the computer sounds back on (click when a new window opens etc) and they are working ok so i know speakers are working but still can't get icon on, how bloody annoying are computers?!!!!!

Wanna be farmer 0 Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 Okay, my advice is to use system restore. Restore it back to where your last restore point was, or the last point where it was working. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
