Windows Audio/Windows End Point Services crash
I have a very strange problem; hope someone has the answer to this one. On my new Windows 7 CPU a little red x appears next the the speaker icon every time I closed down certain programs. The programs I use that cause this to happen are Publisher 2003, FrontPage 2003 (yes, I still use that for some older web sites I work on), and yes, Solitaire XP. All of these are XP programs, but all work fine in Win 7. I can easily get the sound to work by clicking the speaker icon and letting the Fix wizard fix it-takes just a few seconds. Below is the error message I get. Any ideas on how I can stop this from happening, other than not using the programs I mentioned?
