Dell Inspiron 6000 Computer Freezes when I Control Volume with Button thingys
Hi I don't know what those buttons that control sound are called but they are located next to the spot where you open the top. Ok so I just reinstalled Windows XP and downloaded and installed the audio driver from the website. Everything works fine (I can hear my music) until I decide to mute or lower/increase volume using those buttons thingy which then my computer freezes. Well not exactly, I can move my cursor around but I can't click on anything or execute anything with the mouse. Because of this I proceed to shut down (since I can't do anything) is through the power button, which then goes through that termination of all programs process, however I notice that I am able to click stuff again while it is shutting down (I am guessing it terminated some process that is causing the problem) Now I am manually forced to control volume through the tray icon which is very annoying. I have installed the correct driver... I don't know what is going on !!!

For the NSS and Chipset drivers, if you're prompted to reboot, please do. For everything else, ignore the reboot prompts and do it at the end.
