When I start a You Tube or any Video clip I get Video and NO AUDIO.
The Volume is up to the top and no sound. But. ITunes works perfectly, so there is sound.

I lost my icon in the system tray and have the box checked. It does nothing. Is there a section in the registry to fix this?

I was looking and found that I should try the Task Manager then go to FILE> NEW TASK> then run Explorer. That is a thing for tomorrow.

Good night for now, thanks ever so much for any help.

I did go to safe mode it is still the same. The screen is black in SAFE MODE and just the backround screen appears in normal Windows XP boot up.

I have a client who came to me with:
"I lost my icons and start menu all I see is the backround image on my desktop".
Anyone have this problem?
