Did you use system restore to the day before?
Also there are reasons for this as the antivirus and windows update do their thing. It usually passes.

I play a lot of music from you tube or other sites. A sound problem has arisen. The sound is distorted, breaks up stops. It has been suggested that maybe my flash player is the culprit.
I have deleted and re-installed adobe flash player but it does not help. The music I have stored on my computer plays fine.
I am running windows vista home basic 32 bit. I might add that I use Google Chrome, Firefox and IE. I think the IE is version 6 from what I can determine. I don't use IE to often it is slow constantly shuts down.
Appreciate any help
