I used techspot to help re-format my hard drive on my Dell laptop inspiron 2003. After i re-formated XP i didnt back up all the programs that came with it when i first got it. The format worked, but now i only have really basic programs/software on my pc. I think somehow my sound was screwed because when i watch you tube or anything i dont get sound. The videos play just fine the way they used to but there isnt any sound with it. There used to be a Speaker icon in the task bar lower right hand but after the format, it dissapeard. Can anybody tell me what happened and hopefully an easy way to fix. Much apopreciated.... JEFF
