If the problem can be solved by a restart of that thing's service (audio, network, etc.) then it has fixed things for me in the past.
Pretty much no other solution (especially the running old games one) has ever worked in the troubleshooter without me having to tinker with it further.
Oh, man, I may have to eat crow on this one! This reminds me how, at my previous job, the lousy HP printer driver would freeze up and stop printing. I could get it printing again by going into Services and re-starting the printer service. It was more convenient, and easier to train my staff, to just run the printing troubleshooter. It never reported a problem, but it did re-start the printer service, which fixed the immediate issue.
Moral of the story: Only an HP deals in absolutes.
