I have a user who accidentally compressed their windows/system folder w/ Drive Space. Immediately thereafter, they lost communication w/ their printer and the sound card quit working. I sucessfully uncompressed everything, but still no printer response or sound. Checked control panel/hardware info, and nothing seems awry...no question marks or any device problems indicated. My thought is to reinstall windows w/o wiping the disk.... any other suggestions?

Before wiping the disk, I would uninstall and remove the printer and sound card devices and software, reboot the system, and then reinstalling the drivers and see what happens. It may be that the drives got corrupted.
Best of luck!
