When I try to turn up the volume on my laptop (windows xp) the volume slider goes up then automatically slides back to zero and I can't hear anything. The volume will stay up if I continually click the mouse but once I stop, it goes down again. Any ideas how to fix this

Check for any other software that is running and set to 'mute'. The slider only displays the status of the volume mixer device, and the device itself is shared between all the programs - if any of them changes the volume, others should move their sliders accordingly (if they don't, it means they are sloppily written.) If one program keeps muting the volume, setting it in another won't help.
Also check if (if you have a laptop or a multimedia keyboard) the 'volume down' key isn't stuck.
