I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this question... but either way I need help. Whenever I try to listen to a song on Itunes nothing plays. It says my Audio Service is not running with a big red X over the sound. Microsoft Windows says Host Process for Windows Services stopped working and was closed. This started happening after I did a system restore. At times it works fine and restarting doesn't help.

What laptop do you have? You may need to update your drivers which can be find from the manufacturers website.

When you go into device manager are they any yellow exclamation marks or red X's under the sound controllers?

I have an inspiron 1545 Windows Vista 64bit.
Under device manager, there's no exclamation marks or X's.
What driver, or what would I have to update?
