man…..so I get home. and to make matters worse- i boot on the computer and it says windows cannot find 'C:\PROGR~1\INSTAL~1\{8D8B1~1\setup.exe' and it says something about search for it or something. and no sound. So can we go back some steps? having my sound back is more important than that thing hijacking google here and there. If both could work all the better.

Go here: and look at 3 and 4

Method 3: Update your Media Player software

Method 4: Update sound drivers

I already tried updateing drivers and even tried several different softwares. Still nothing. It has something to do with the registry.

Are you using Windows media player? Did you try updating Windows media player? Are you sure your sound isn't muted?

Here ill show you. I started by checking to see if muted:

anytime there is a sound or error its one of those system beeps like when old computers would start up they would have that obnoxious beep. Thats the only sound that happens.

That beep is just the computers onboard speaker. Right Click on the My Computer icon and select Properties > Hardware > Device Manager Are there any items with a red x or Yellow ?

yep

Click on that Yellow one and delete it. Reboot and we'll see if windows can reinstall it
