OK, if you want to hear the crack with the Speakers i'll give a detailed response.
I believe i was running Adware (Nothing else running) when after it was used i noticed they stopped working. I checked device manager & ALL my drives (DVD/CD Drive, Disk Drive & a few sound devices like RealtekAC97) had a "!" next to them, i had a feww suggestions to uninstall them & reboot & the matter should resovle on start up, so i did it with one of the DVD drives & all of them no longer had a "!" near them... However RealtekAC97 was gone. (My CD/DVD & Disk drives now work) So i re-downloaded the driver for RealytekAC97 & it is now in my device manager section, but i cannot choose it in the audio playback section (Or any other section of the same nature) So i am rather stumped.
the thing is, it would be a bit more clearcut if it was just my speakers or audio at fault, but i am rather confused as to why AVI files will not play (You probably know what they are, but they're generally high quality video files commonly compressed in to divx)
As far as i know i don't have a Soundcard, my speakers connect directly to the motherboard, so i am wondering if getting a soundcard would sort out the issue
Sorry for the wall of text
I am installing ZoneAlarm now ^_^
