OK, I did something foolish and I don't know why exactly and am looking for some help. I installed the K-lite Codec Pack Full Version the other day, and my perfectly stable WinXP machine is now messed up.
After installing K-Lite, first thing I noticed was that my WinAVI Converter no longer worked due to a codec issue. Then I noticed that I had no sound from my computer. So I ran a System Restore to the point created just prior to the install. Didn't work quite as well as I had hoped. I had to reinstall Divx, WinAVI and the Xvid codec, made a few other changes and have most of the system working now. However, I have no System sounds. What I mean is the beeps, and boinks and dings that normally drive people crazy. lol I can play the wav files through media player with no problem, but if I open the Sounds and Audio Devices Properties Window, the test play icon is blanked out so you can't play the sounds. I also noticed that under the Audio Tab, MIDI Music Playback is blank even though I've selected the Microsoft GS Wavetable 100 times. It just won't stick. I have the same exact problem with the Voice Playback option too. I don't know if fixing those would fix the System Sound problem, but just something I noticed that didn't use to be like that. So does anyone know how I can get my System Sounds working again? That codec pack install was a very bad decision, and I just want my simple and stable pc back.
