When I bring up 4-5 browser pages, all of them just disapper. Like poof they just are gone. I run windows xp. Help!!

I have Windows XP installed on an ASUS p4p800 deluxe (has AC’97 audio onboard). I do not have a sound card installed. Everything was going fine yesterday. Today, I tried playing some songs and no sound. I could see the progress bar moving accross normally. I checked the audio connection at the back. I even restarted my PC, but to no avail. I tried using the audio-out panels at the front, didnt work.

I again shut down the PC and disconnected the frotn audio panel, just in case it might’ve been doing something. But that too did not do anything. I reinstalled the audio drivers, no change.

I again shut down and checked settings in the BIOS. There was no problem over there. But I still resorted back to the defaults. That too didnt work.

Can anybody help or suggest something?
PS: The audio chip on the motherboard seems okay.
enomoney: no, i’ve checked there. nothing’s mute. all the windows sounds too are *supposedly* playing fine, still i cant hear a thing

I’ve tried multiple spyware/adware/virus removal programs, even re-installed XP. Nothing helps. The browsers have developed a mind of they’re own. Everything that slaves to Explorer including mozilla, my music library, folders, etc. Its crazy.

iTunes on my computer doesn’t seem to recognise my iPod. It must be the software rather than my hardware because if I go to another computer also with iTunes 7 it works perfectly. Also, the iPod shows up on My Computer. I’ve done everything on the apple website (what they call the 5 rs) including uninstalling and reinstalling the software, resetting and restoring my ipod etc. Very occasionally, if I restart the computer or go into “Manage – Services” and restart the iPod service, the ipod will show.
When I uninstalled I was sure to get rid of everything, delete the folders in program files and then delete the recycle bin. However, it seems there must be something I have missed if this software problem is persisiting – maybe in the registry? Maybe someone here can help me delete it all from there?
I also wonder whether it’s something to do with the computer thinking it’s a drive because it automatically opens the files on the iPod in an explorer window. I tried changing the letter.
Thanks for the reply below – I can’t revert to iTunes 6 because iTunes 7 has updated all my music and it can’t be read by iTunes 6 any more! I already tried this. As I said, it all works perfectly on another computer, so does anyone have any other suggestions?

Such as my music and videos and pictures and whatnot. I downloaded the Windows Vista Beta 2 from Microsoft and I haven’t installed it yet because I don’t wanna lose all my music and everything
