My computer is an Acer Aspire 3100 with AMD Sempron Processor 3400 1.8GHz ATI Radeon Xpress 110 512mb DDR2 Ram but I bought 3 gigs of ram. Anyways I would appreciate help and fast. Thanks,

Alan.

I'm actually not sure how to solve this problem. It's never happened to me.


Have you tried removing the upper/lower filters from the registry?

I don't have REG_MULTI_SZ inside of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/System/Curretcontrolset/Control/Class/{4d36e965-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}

I got something called IconPath then beside it says REG_MULTI_SZ? But I'm scared to delete it =]
