RE: No Sound {& PC shuts off by itself}

I have lost the sound from all my videos! The mp3 files on my hard drive play
fine in windows media and realplayer, but all the videos I have, from
different sources (Rapidshare, home video camera, etc.) have no sound, or
only the faintest sound.
Can someone help me?

By the way, this message is a "reply" because I can't figure out how to post
a new message! Duh.
