    Failed to connect to a windows service error mssge


    Heya
    wondered if i could pick ya brains ?!
    about 4 days ago i recived an error message on start up stating
    ( failed to connect to a windows service )
    the task bar went back to basic n everything seemed to be running abit slower

    i looked online for any ideas as to why n how i could fix this ..
    so far ive ..

    reset netsh winsock ... witch seemed to fix the task bar but continued to recive the error message

    tried a clean boot .... witch seems to fix the taskbar & error message problem as long as i leave >> windows audio endpoint builder ... unchecked

    thing is i now have no sound .... witch i realy cant be without !!!

    ive tried a restore but am unable to go back to a date before this problem occured !!

    can any 1 help ?!! .... PLEASE !! x

    Welcome to the Forum
    Lets see if the OS is corrupted
    SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker
    If errors are found run 3 more times, or until they are corrected, if they can

    go to device manager, look for any yellow markers. Make sure that the audio driver is up to date..

    First dont worry about being techinical or asking questions, we are here for you
    Yes run 3 times if errors are found.
    If you still have errors after 3 times, I will tell you how to get a written report and send it to us.

    Problem is no sound, I believe
    Go to search type device manager.
    Look for yellow warning triangles
    Go to sound card and make sure it is up to date.

    The complete back up will change everything.
    Every pic you saved
    every document you wrote, etc
    Any programs that you installed.
    I think that it is a big gun for this situation, but it would have to be your call.

    Right now, just be sure to go back far enough. 3 or 4 days before the problem is the usual suggestion.
