I typed msconfig in run and i scrolled down to audio and theres a check mark by it already, but it says stopped in the far right column. I read another forum about this on this site and they all said they typed services.msc in run and just clicked start in the audio properties and it fixed their audio, when i type services.msc or services.msc. in run it says "The application failed to initialize properly (Oxc0000006). Click on OK to terminate the application." any ideas?....

reported the Services entry showing "stopped" and that launching the Services console fails with the 0xc0000006 error. and rightly pointed at driver and repair possibilities; the symptoms here, however, point toward system-file or MMC snap-in corruption (not just an audio driver). The following checks let you verify and repair core Windows components safely before doing driver-only fixes.

First, repair system files and the on-disk image. From an administrator command prompt run the system-file check and then a disk check (XP may request the install CD and will schedule chkdsk at reboot):

sfc /scannow
chkdsk c: /f /r

On Windows XP the SFC results are written to %windir%\sfcdetails.txt; review that file for replaced or missing files. chkdsk can take time; allow it to run on the next boot.

Next, collect diagnostics that show what is failing. Open Event Viewer and inspect the System and Application logs for entries recorded when the Services console failed. Look for sources like "Service Control Manager" or "Application Error" and capture the event ID and faulting module name — that narrows whether mmc.exe, a DLL, or another system component is crashing.

If those repairs do not restore the Services console or audio, use System Restore to roll back to a date when sound worked, or perform a Windows repair/repair-install. Before any repair-install, back up personal data. If malware is suspected (since it can remove or corrupt system files), boot a rescue scanner or offline AV image to scan the disk before running repairs.

Caution: avoid deleting or replacing system DLLs manually. If SFC reports unrepairable files or Event Viewer points to a specific system DLL, a repair-install from the OS media is the safest next step.
