I'm running a 2 gig machine with 512 megs of RAM with Win XP Pro, Svc Pk 2.
It's an Asus MB with built-in audio and video.

I've been fighting a lot of spyware lately, and somewhere along the way I've lost my sound. Some input on how I can get it back (and I feel it's software/system related)? Any input appreciated.

Thanks, BuddyB
