    Can't open sound control panel


    dont know what when wrong but I cannot access my audio devices control panel. Control Panel...Hardware and Sound..Manage Audio Devices. Nothing happens. Only a brief flicker. I also cannot change system sounds. Any idea what could be the problem? or at least how to go about debugging it.

    Stupid of me. It was late at night. I am running the following:

    • Windows 7
    • SoundBlaster X-FI Card
    • Logitech Z-5 USB Speakers

    Anything I am missing?

    Thanks.

    Updated in UserCP too.

    I uninstalled Logitech program and Sound in Control Panel worked. I use my Logitech QuickCam, so I will check with Logitech before I reinstall the program.
