Greetings everybody,
I've been searching for a solution to this issue for quite some time and the search results here didn't really help my cause as of yet, hence why I've created this thread. Pardon me if I missed a possible solution.
So basically this is my issue: If I log onto my notebook (which runs Windows 7 Professional x64), several problems seem to occur after logging into my account. If I try to change my volume in the volume manager (taskbar, right-bottom corner), it won't respond anymore and basically forces me to close and restart the application. The same thing happens for my media player (Winamp) - if I want to play a song, it freezes and forces me to shut it down (restarting Winamp doesn't help). And this also seems to happen when viewing a video on YouTube. Once it has finished loading, the video doesn't respond and causes my FireFox to not respond either, which eventually, forces me to shut that down as well.
I've also noticed that when trying to shut down or restart my computer, the following message pops up. I don't remember the exact message, but it's something along these lines.
"Waiting to play logoff sound (explorer.exe)".
However, I'd like to note that this problem doesn't occur every time. It only happens 6 out of 10 times or so. And no, I'm not using a sound/logoff .wav file that is longer than 10 seconds. I use the default, which is less. I haven't installed drivers manually either - Windows 7 seemed to do that automatically.
I'd greatly appreciate any assistance in regards to this issue as it's kind of annoying me most of the time.
Yours Sincerely,
Alain B.
