Troubleshooters vanished ...

I've now got no audio cd sound from the cd drive. The sound troubleshooters
have vanished too.

Putting in a data cd drives the system wild - it thinks that it's an audio
cd and won't let go of the idea.

What's got into the thing?

Not sure, but here are some troubleshooting instructions for audio and CD
functions in Windows 98:

Are the discs factory made or home burnt? The first thing to do is to clean the CD
drive using an inexpensive audio cleaning CD.

As for the troubleshooters, they were broken/disabled by a couple of Windows
Updates.
There are two different fixes, depending on the Windows updates you have installed.

The original fix for the older update was this:
First, click Start Settings Folder Options View tab, and click to enable "Show
All Files" and click OK.
Click Start Find File or Folders, and search the C:\ drive for a file named
Tshoot.inf...it should be found in the \Windows\Inf folder.
Right-click Tshoot.inf and click Install on the menu that appears.

If the latest cumulative patch for Internet Explorer is installed, there is only a
workaround.
