Hey Hoppy: I had a similar experience with spinner a while back. Although it didn't mess up my sound ,alot of other functions were really compromized. I unistalled as you did but none of the other stuff went back to working either. And with all the other problems that I was having at the time, Ihad to format,didn't have a way to backup then, and reistalled Win 98 and all my software. Then ,after being hassled by my wife, reluctantly, tried it again and now it works fine. I believe there are some nasties in their software. She has tried to download it on her computer at her office and has had no luck whatsoever. Did you check everywhere for pieces of the program, maybe left over somewhere else, registry, download files, program files,etc. I had trouble with the upgrades to Zone Alarm, til I went thru my computer and deleted all references to it , then re-downloaded and re-installed. May be just a shot in the dark. Good Luck http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif
P.S. It's always nice to have someone on the other flank, Jason http://www.sysopt.com/forum/biggrin.gif http://www.sysopt.com/forum/biggrin.gif

Hey man: Did you just re-install or did you format the drive ?? Everytime I tried a re-istall, thigs were worse than before . How long ago did this start? My CD player would even recognise an audio CD this morning??
I did a reg/restore( did you try that before
installing windows?)( is it too late for that option?) back 3 days, at least it plays now, but will not auto start, but data CD's work fine...go figure. Checked Tweak UI and both boxes were checked, man who knows?
Computers, just like women, can't live with em, can't live without em. At least you can turn the former off.Praise Ala Good luck http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif
