Default Sound issues.

Hi all,

After installing the 'nVidia multimedia update' from the Windows Update
site last week, I can no longer open the nForce control panel from my
toolbar. Any attempt to do so results in a 'sndstorm.exe has encountered a
problem...etc' error box. The error code listed is 0xc0000005.
My sound appears to still work, but I'm not 100% convinced I'm still
getting 5.1 out of it, and without getting into the control panel to run
the speaker check, I can't find out for sure.

Has anyone else encountered this? Is there someway around this?

Thanks all.

Uninstall the update, if you have XP, install the NVidia NForce
drivers. Don't use Windows update for drivers in future.

Is there some way of determining which update is which? They're all listed
under Add/Remove programs, but of course they don't follow the same naming
convention as when they were downloaded! Thanks for helping out!

at windows update on the left sidebar under Other options choose "view
Installation History, the date should tell you the audio driver update,
then look at the q324567 whatever number, and then go to add/remove and
bobs yer uncle
