Mysterious problem with laptop running Windows 7
Hello,
I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 and recently I have ran into some weird problems, and I'm not sure of the cause.
It started with my sound. Regular Windows sounds work but when I try to stream video online, it doesn't play sound. I tried playing video saved to my computer with different players (windows media player, vlc, etc.) and nothing works (doesn't even play video). I've also tried playing music through windows media player and itunes, and audio doesn't play as well. I've checked sound settings on my laptop and everything is fine, and i've tried checking sound settings on each player (making sure sound was up and they weren't on mute) and everything is good with those as well.
Internet Explorer stopped working. When I try to load it, nothing happens. I don't have Mozilla on this pc so I can't give info on that, but Google Chrome works.
When bringing up a window to try to attach something, it is blank. A couple examples...I have some DVD's backed up on my laptop, and while using my burner, I click the open folder button and it is blank and won't let me select any folders to upload to the program that I want to burn. Another example...my wife uses Shutterfly and you have to click upload photos. It does the same thing, where it won't let us load any photos.
Something also keeps popping up on my screen saying that "oneclick.exe has stopped working". I recognize "oneclick" on a reputable pc tuner that I used to use but haven't touched in a long time. I'm not sure if this has any relevance, but this started popping up around the same time I've had problems.
I do have Norton Anti-Virus. I have updated everything and ran a full scan with no negative results. I also have Malwarebytes and I have ran a full scan on that with no negative results as well. I did some searches, but I wasn't sure what to look for since there's so many issues.....but I read to try Microsoft Securities Essentials. This came back with no errors at all. I have also tried previous restore points to see if this would work, with no luck!
I have searched and searched online but can't find a direct problem that might solve my problem. My laptop is pretty much crippled the way it is, as all I can do is go on Google Chrome, and can't do anything interactive once I'm there.
I've read some similar comments about malware or virus' effecting some of these in different searches but I can't seem to catch it with my regular "trusted" programs" that I use to catch these. Does anyone have any suggestions at all? Any help would be appreciated!!!!
PS I've ran the programs in regular and safe mode, with the same results.
