My computer has been screwing up for the past few months. The sound is fine when I first turn it on, but after thirty minutes of so of listening to music, the sound goes away. What's up with that? Does it happen to anybody else? And also: when I have miniture pop-ups and I exit them, ALL the I.E. windows close. Can anyone identify what's wrong with my computer? It's not old, I just bought it last year, if it matters.

Your speakers might be going out, otherwise you might be having a problem with your sound card, you'd probably want to get this checked out. What company did you buy it from? If it's Dell, you've probably gotten a refurbished sound card in there that isn't completely working. As for HP or IBM, you've probably just got something screwed up in there pretty badly. Take it to a shop to get it checked out, sure it costs money, but it will help you out a lot better than we columnists can. [ RoadkillSalad's advice column | Ask RoadkillSalad A Question ]
