it and update driver with your driver CD in the drive,N
right click on your sound card and uninstall,reboot with
your driver CD in the drive run it thru....If you do not
have a driver disc,you are screwed.If you box didn't come
with a disc at all and is preloaded,do this after you
backup all your files you would like to keep incase you
F*** this one up too,,,from a turned off computer,pump
the F10 key as it starts up,,,the recovery console comes
up,select the non-destructive recovery option,that should
keep your files for you,run it thru you'll be fine and
the sound will be back,you just need to set your
desktop,screen save back,also removes most updates too so
visit the MS windows update page after your done also.If
you have a disc with XP on it for recovery,put it in and
boot from it choosing R and do a repair install.That or
head to your favorite computer store and pick up a sound
card and install it in a PCI slot on your computer,then

The $5 card is the way I would go if I were you,take the
side cover off,AFTER you turned off the computer and
unpluged it from the wall,should have 1 or 2 thumb screws
holding it in,slides back,holding onto the metal part as
you work inside(to keep it from static electricity)don't
do it on carpet!Take a screw out of the cover on an empty
slot,slide the plat off,put the card in line it up with
the slots,put screw in to hold it,cover back on,plug it
back up,turn it on,put disc in for driver run the wizrd
that comes up.May have to go into device manager and r
click on your old sound card and choose to disable
it...Ahhh what the hell am I telling you all this for
just read the directions that come with the card.
