Aaaaaaargh. Stupid Yuku.
So, I downloaded an update for my antivirus, and now, whenever I try to play any sound (game, system, music, or video file) after letting my machine go to sleep, it BSODs and restarts itself too quickly for me to read what's going on. When it comes back up, Fucking Vista claims that my (built into the motherboard) 'Audio Device is not installed'. Rebooting the machine does not get my sound back, but shutting it all the way down and bringing it back up does. Once I have it back it works fine until the next nap.
Now, I was planning to nuke my current system back to the bare metal at some point anyway, but when the system comes back up after the crash Fucking Vista's 'let me find a solution for this' box tries to pin it on the hardware. I wouldn't trust this OS if it claimed the sun rose in the east, but it seems wisest to see if anyone has a way to make sure before I start my rebuild.
