Ok I'm having computer issues. First I have no sound. Everything I know to check looks fine. Now all of a sudden when scrolling down a page there is this weird ripple/wave effect going on. What do i do? I've tried googling what to do and it's talking about installing some drivers or something?

Turn your computer off. And then turn it on.

That won't fix your sound though. I bet you have it muted in one of the 100 ways to mute a computer.

I've tried that - no luck. As for the sound I've looked everywhere I know where the sound can be muted.

Throw it against a wall.

get a mac. macs dont have problems like that because they offer the ultimate computing experience.

Well, the scrolling problem decided to disappear overnight. Still not sure about the sound, but I was trying to fix the sound when the scrolling problem started. So, I can do without it.

Make sure everything on your computer is fully updated, from both Microsoft and the manufacturer. If that doesn't work, try a system restore from back before the problems started happening. This might not keep it from happening again, but it's worked for me.

just reinstall the sound driver...that should do it.

This. Update and/or reinstall the sound driver. If that doesn't do it, you might need a new sound card (assuming it's a desktop).
