Installed new drivers for my soundcard---drivers failed
uninstalled drivers. when I run directdiags it states that direct sound, music & system properties had problems last time it was run. If I opt to include them in this session system hangs. If I opt not to system runs until I try to close dxdiags,then hangs. Quicktime simply hangs machine. I have reinstalled directx 8.0 & 8.1 & vise-versa--no change. I uninstalled quicktime & reinstalled ---no change. Is there any way to solve this other than reinstalling windows or the dreaded format c: ?????

What Version of windows do you have? If windows 95,98 or 2000 make sure that nothing is flagged in device manager. If there are items flagged in device manager especially under sound & multimedia try reinstalling drivers from original driver disk. If this does not work for you, you can reinstall windows over the top of current load without loosing any data.

win98SE operating system. No flags in device Manager.
reinstalling windows did not correct directX problems. Reinstalling sound drivers did not work. Formatting hard drive only fix that worked
