this is a long post- and if you dont want to read it: the music on my computer isnt working. thats all that down there paraphrased.

A couple days ago my computer stopped playing music. I'm not sure if it is a grudge against my musical preferences or something really bad. I have tried about everything that has occured to me. I've tried using a different sound card with new drivers, using the onboard sound card, updating the OS thru internet explorer, reintalling iTunes, made sure it wasnt on "mute" (duh), etc, etc. The speakers are working fine, i have checked them too. What has stumped me is that when i open iTunes or any music player, software based or webbased, when i click play it doesnt show any movement, leaving me to believe that it is software based. I've tried to play with the Creative music player, iTunes, Purevolume.com and garageband.com's players. Even last.fm. Any words of wisedom or am i totally screwed. The computer is a Dell deminsion 4600, about 3 years old. any, and i mean, any help is appreciated.
