Hello
I am having a bit of a nightmare with my Dell PC - I am running Vista and recently reformatted it as the internet clock had stopped working, it was losing up to an hour a day - unfortunately the reformat has not solved that problem and created a new one - now all the sounds my PC make are slow and distorted - from the 'welcome' sound when the PB boots up to mp3 and CD playback - even the images on WMP are slow and distorted. I have tried downloading new drivers etc. but nothing seems to work, everything is slow and distorted on speakers and thru headphones - even the 'test' sounds are the same.
Can anyone help??

Hi
It did it right after the reformat - before the reformat it was losing time but the sound was fine, mp3s etc played without a hitch. After the reformat I am getting the hideous slo-mo distortion effect and the clock is still slow even when I reset it to a different internet clock. The PC was also making a horrible squeal sound every time I pressed on a track title on my cd burning software but that now seems to have gone overnight.
Similarly the sound all seemed to sort itself out for a day or two with mp3s playing OK then it's started again!
Forgive me for being a novice how do I do a backup and clean format? Is that reformatting it all over again?
