You need to uninstall that device and reinstall it.

I don't know how to UNINSTALL a flash... maybe you mean unplug it and plug it back, but I don't think that the flash is the problem since there wasn't a flash when the problem occured. any more thoughts??

Ok, click on start, then control panel, then click on the "System" icon. Now, under the "Hardware" tab click on the button that says "Device Manager". There, will be each device listed that is installed. Do you see any devices which have a question mark..or an exclamation point or a red "x" over it...?

[agha]

no, I found nothing about an "X" or a hexadecimal number the only thing with a question mark is the audio controller which is seen in many computers with a question mark. anyway I seem to get the problem, it's some old unknown virus I got it from a .zip file but no matter how much I google it, I get nothing I guess I'll format my pc thanx for your time

Your not looking FOR an "x" or number and I dont know where you got hexadecimal from. You are looking for the device that is causing the problem. Then... uninstall the driver.

the only thing with a question mark is the audio controller which is seen in many computers with a question mark.

If that were the case, then many computers would be without sound.. of any kind (which very well may be the case.. however I doubt it).

some old unknown virus

How did you come to that conclusion..?

I guess I'll format my pc

Thats not necessary, however it is your computer. You simply need to uninstall the device and/or its driver(s). You can do that by finding it in the device manager in the control panel. Right clicking on it, and choose to uninstall and reboot.
