Hi all. What a terrible experience I've had this past 24 hours! I've 
been working on my windows 7 computer, trying to speed it up, and that's 
a good thing, we need to do that with computers! However, 1 suggestion 
was given to me, to go into msconfig, which I did, and I was told, "use 
selective startup, because fewer things will start up, causing your 
computer to boot faster." What they didn't tell me is, when you set your 
computer to the selective startup setting, you completely, lose audio, 
and folks, I lost every bit of audio, no screen reader, no windows 
music, no audio from cds, nothing! Fortunately, my friend Dave, who is 
also on this list by the way, came over, and he has, thank God, enough 
sight to see the screen. So, he said, "Harry, I'm gonna go into 
msconfig", and when he got there, I told him, "you see where it is set 
to selective startup?" "Sure do", he said." I told him, "can you put it 
back to normal startup?" "Sure thing", he said, "I'll do it for ya, 
right now!" Now folks, I didn't know if it would fix the problem or not, 
however, he put it in normal startup, then applyed it, and clicked ok, 
and restarted the computer. And folks, wonderfully, I heard my windows 
music, and then jaws! So, first, a huge thank you to you Dave, and of 
course I already told ya that, inn person, but I wanted to say it here, 
on the list! Secondly, whatever you do folks, *DO NOT*, and I mean do 
not, use selective startup, because if you do, you'll have the same 
problem I had, with no windows music, no audio of any kind. Just trying 
to save people some stress and fear. Harry
