What happened?
I have no idea what I did. I didn't install anything or do anything I don't usually do.
I turn on my laptop, it goes to 'Disk Check' due to some error. It doesn't even move from 0% in 30 minutes so I shut down and turn on my laptop again and skip the disk check.
My desktop loads up and I get this message:

Everything seems fine except my laptop speakers don't work anymore.
When I go to Control Panel, it says that there are no speakers.
But there are, and they were working on earlier on this morning.
What now?

Maybe give some free advice about: Computers?
I have had this happen on my computer. I know twice now something had been caught or stuck in my outbox.
Letting the disc check run it course when you restart the computer takes a while but it does help.
I'd suggest restarting it and letting it run while you are off doing something else or overnight maybe.
I have put it off a day or two and it doesn't seem to hurt anything.
Yesterday I also lost my sound. How weird is that?
I looked and looked and could not fix it. What I did was a system restore (found under pc help & tools in start up menu for windows XP) I restored it back to the day before when I knew it was working. It works fine now!

run a full virus scan of your computer to make sure there isn't one. I would recomment downloading a new free virus program like AVG, because many viruses now days manipulate virus programs so they won't be detected. If there isn't some sort of virus, it could be a device driver error. There should be an option to look for updated drivers for your pc. Here is also a website with some info on some ways to possibly fix your error.

good luck, if that doesnt work, do some more googling, there's tons of info online.

To me the speaker thing seems unrelated. I would not worry about it. Go under Computer management, under device manager. See if there are any questions marks. if there are you need that driver. I would restart again.
