Does anyone know why the sound is muted by itself?:rolleyes:
Any knowledge so I can stop it happening in future would be appreciated thanks. :)

Do you have the possibility to change your keyboard or it might be enough to remove the keyboard for a while to see if the problems persist.

Trouble is I am running out of ideas :( if you cant do the keyboard you could try re installing the touch pad drivers.

Thanks mate :) but #1 I don't use the touchpad & #2 Vista also randomly loses the drivers that connect to my del bluetooth minimouse requiring me to reconnect so Vista can reload the drivers! I must admit I find Vista to be a terribly unreliable RAM hungry impatient OS especially when dealing with MS Office 2007 WORD which has stopped responding completely or hung!:mad:
(Obvious bad programming!)
This has required a program restart many times and sometimes even a hardboot has been necessary with IE7! :cry:
I was doubtful there was a solution as I think Vista is too persnickety for it's own good! Is Windows 7 better like XP was?:eek:
I do want to Thank You for your attention though Pooch. ;)

You seem to be having a lot of problems, I am surprised as Vista should run quite nicely on your system. Have you considered reinstalling? This might be the best way forward.

In answer to your question Yes Windows 7 is better

Well Pooch, I got my Dell with vista home basic preinstalled and upgraded to ultimate at home so perhaps it was there? How do you recommend reinstalling?

aeroflight can I suggest that you start your own thread about your problem which is totally unrelated to mine? You'll find that you get much more attention that way. lol:D

You will need to back up all your Data. Its best to use an External Drive for this.

Check here for details; Dell - Technical Support

I take it that you still have the update media to update to Ultimate again when it is finished

Hi Pooch, yep still got the media but I'm loathe to fix something that ain't broke and as it works 99% fine I don't think I'll take the chance of making things worse. Thanks for the advice tho' mate. :)
