NO Windows System Sounds

Hi,
Sorry to bother all the experts out here, but i'll encountered a problem which i'm unable to solve.
I dl-ed a prg named FantasyDVDPlatinum which allows me to play DVDs on my comp.
Problem is, once i deleted it, all my codecs which i previous dl-ed cannot work. Thus i re-downloaded all my codecs again. Apparently, this prg also changed all my media files to be played using this prg without my knowledge/approval!
Now, the problem starts when after i restarted my comp, all my windows system sound doesn't work at all ( no start-up sounds, no error sounds etc.)
I went to the control panel/ sound and audio settings,, where normally people change their startup sounds and it seems that I am unable to 'play/preview' the selected system sounds! (the play button to play the sound became dulled over, thus no matter how i click, i am unable to
preview ' it!)
I've attached a screenshot of it. . .
However, when i play sounds or games, the sound still works.
Can anyone help me solve my problem?
I really need the system sounds to be back. . . .
Thanks in advance~!

Click the 'Audio' tab and make sure the default audio playback device is set to your sound card.

Dunno if this would work, but go to

-My Computer-
-Tools-
-Folder Options-
-File Types-

and see what program is using to play like ur .wav, .mp3...etc.

Also did u check your Device Mgr for any conflicts?
