Dan Jablons Sound stopped working plus other errors after AVG Update
I really hope someone can help me.
I recently installed an AVG update and now my sound does not work.
Also, when I restart my computer, I get a message from Windows that says that the System Event Notification service cannot start. I also see that some of the sound services are not starting either, and cannot.
I did some research on that message, and tried to run SFC /Scannow. It gets to 21% and then stops and reports that it cannot continue.
I also saw in another forum post that other people had problem with Sound not working. That post suggested that unlocking the HKEY entries in the Virus Vault would fix it, but my Virus Vault is empty.
I am using Windows 7.1 Home Premium and my system was working PERFECTLY before this. Now I have all these problems. I am hoping that someone can help me fix this because, although I really do love AVG, I have to say that this was caused by the recent update and I can't allow this to continue! I suspect that my registry has been compromised, and although I use carbonite to back up, I doubt that the registry was backed up.
HELP!!!!

1. Click on Start
2. In the start Search box type Services
3. Right Click on - RUN AS ADMIN
Check if the below mentioned services has the mentioned status and start up type.
System Event Notification Service Started Automatic
If not then set this service to automatic mode. Restart your PC.
In case this does not solve the problem then try to perform a system restore. Hope this helps you. Thank you.
