Wow, jwhugg....I wouldn't wish this problem on anyone! Since I started this thread, I had a problem in July and had to run the factory restore disc for the fifth time!! (Luckily I have another hard drive that I keep all MY stuff on)......guess what? It didn't work this time. I was tempted to...

<snip>That would be bad since you bought it from Compaq and I'm willing to bet they gave you absolutely no kind of documentation on it. <snip> You're familiar with Compaq I see! LOL Listen, I need some explanation here. I would have thought that if my soundcard was bad that I would have no...

WEll, thanks for all your help. With the track record this machine has, I'm not willing to to try that at this time....I should have taken it back when I bought it, but I didn't. But, thanks for all your help. Hope the info about Quick Restore discs will be helpful to you. Thanks again Sue

Well, since you asked..... &quot;So my questions to everyone else reading this are as folows: - Can a factory restore disk be used to do a Dirty-Re-Install of Windows? - Can a factory restore disk just install Windows and nothing else...

Hey Spyderix!! How about this....have you and I let ourselves get sidetracked onto the sound card...erroneously?? All the sounds are working.....I just can't hear them! LOL If I turn the volume up on the external speakers I can hear everything, but softly .....the REAL problem is that stupid...

I followed your instructions to a 'T'.....and, unfortunately, it didn't work. I even did it three times!!! *Bigger sigh*....any other ideas???

You hit the nail on the head with the first one.....when I am in the volume control I slide the bar up and I get sound and then when I release the mouse it falls down. BINGO! That's it exactly! Everything was reinstalled with the Quick Restore, taking the C drive back to factory settings over...

*Big Sigh*...I found Windows Media player and Real Player....both have their volumes up. Didn't find WinAmp. Darn, I was hoping you had it solved for me. Any other ideas? I can't figure out for the life of me what would cause the volume control to just slide back down everytime I drag it up.

Thanks Spyderix....now, since I'm not as tech savvy as some but can follow instructions well as far as getting into the guts of this thing.....could you please tell me how to check these volumes?? Thank you VERY much.

I have been without sound for forever it seems and it is really starting to bug me. It happened shortly after I had to do a quick restore on my compaq. I can hear the white noise (hiss) when I turn the external speakers up to max and can hear sound faintly. There is power to the speakers. When...
