Accidentally disabled my speakers

In the sound pop up from the control panel I was trying to change the default
speaker, but accidentally disabled it. Now the speaker has disappered from
the playback devices tab and I cannot get any sound out of my speakers.
Q. How do I enable my speakers again?

PS. Its a laptop, so I think it's the internal speakers I've disabled
 
Right click in the Playback window and check both "Show Disabled Devices" and
"Show Disconnected Devices".

Have you tried reverting the system to a System Restore point to a date
prior to your problem?

You're welcome.

Wouldn't it be nice if all problems had such an easy, simple solution?

I think you meant the popup from the task bar or system tray. So, open
Control Panel, Look for the audio controls for your sound system, and open
it. You should be able to adjust just about anything. Also, some laptops
have a Fn key combination to mute the speakers, make sure you check that and
that they are not muted.

Good luck.

KAWAN actually tried and FAILED A THIRD TIME!!

There oughta be some kind of "computer aptitude" test built into every
computer/keyboard like the blow test for alchohol. If you don't pass
it, you get locked out for 24 hours until you find the answer to a
computer-related question the computer gives you after failing.
 
You need to reinstall your audio drivers. If you have on board sound the
drivers are on the system disk. If a card they are on the CD that came with
the card. You could also down load drivers from the manufacturer web site
