1. DirectSound simply vanished
2. About 1 minute after I connect to the net, I cant open the start menu, and all my desktop/toolbar icons vanish, but I can alt tab between them.
3. There is something called windows workstation manager (wkss.exe) running in HJT which I cant delete.

Silly question, but have you run all the standard stuff? Spyware/Adware checkers, anti-virus, etc?

Find your WXP install disc, or your recovery disc...

Reinstalling windows isnt going to fix the problem. Hardware might have imploded.
Start menu -> Run -> type "chkdsk /r" & hit enter.
Then hit "Y" to tell it you want todo a check disk on the next reboot. Then reboot!
If any bad sectors are reported, then your harddrive is fucked. You need to backup the contents of stuff you want to keep and get a new one.

I will let this thread live because of the question.

Oddly enough, the problem seems to have resolved itself. Chkdsk doesn't show anything nasty, anways. I'm gonna mess around with this for awhile and see if it happens again.
