Could be the driver is malfunctioning and needs to be updated or reinstalled. Without the proper driver your computer cannot communicate with the software and internal features such as video and audio cards or network interface card.

Windows updating, software acting strangely, software not working all of a sudden. Any of these can mean that a driver or two somewhere needs to be updated. Checking for any driver updates should be your first stop. Keeping drivers up to date will help ensure a smooth running computer along with the software installed on it.

OEM computers, such as Dell, HP, Gateway, etc will have all of their driver information easily found on the manufacturers website. Any add on software or hardware will have to be searched out manually to locate drivers. If your computer was built by the local computer guys then you may need to revert to your hardware list provided when you picked it up to start your driver search.
