It works perfectly in safe mode and on a diagnostic start up configuration however when I put it on normal start up mode it freezes shortly after I try to open a program, I have scanned the computer multiple times for viruses but nothing has come up, I haven’t installed any hardware or software to my knowledge either.

All of the diagnostic software on my computer completely ignores the mic portion, which is plugged in through a separate cord. The cord is in prime condition and the headphone part works perfectly.
BTW, I’m using Windows XP on a Dell PC.
Well I tried it on another computer and it didn’t work. Do microphones usually just die like this of their own accord?

I was jsut wounderin gif you could some how run a diagnostics on you own car with you OWN computer???. is ther a software you can download?… is it posible with an extra part?…

I've been getting a blue screen with the following message: Run a system diagnostic utility supplied by your

Try changing video adapters. Disable and remove any newly installed hardware and drivers.

My computer has been very slow lately and I ran disk clean up and did defragmentation yesterday. However, I'm still getting blue screens.
