The problem is:
From time to time, especially when connected to the internet, my widows OS stops to configure devices. Most often I see the message - audio device is missing when I try to run winamp or some other audio application, the VPN connection is missing and unable to renew it, the desktop theme changes to default, video codecs are not recognized. Looks like windows has missed the contact with all those files and drivers, or partially shut off.
After reboot everything works, untill the next time.
I have winXP sp3 installation CD. I have used it with my old and new pc. When it happened at first time - was using the five year old computer, and thought it was a hardware issue, but now my PC is completely new, and I think it is some widows issue..
There is not virus (made several scans with various Antivirus - nothing found)
What could it be and how to get it resolved.
