I work at a not-for-profit where we sometimes get computers donated. I'm
responsible for them....I am self-taught so sometimes what I know can be
dangerous.
We got a brand new Dell Dimension C521 that was loaded with Vista Basic.
Since it's important the computer be compatible with everything we have, I
got a recommendation to downgrade it to XP Pro (of which I had a new legal
copy).
I had absolutely no trouble with removing Vista and installing XP Pro. I
got network and printer drivers from the Dell site and they installed just
fine.
My problem has to do with sound. There is none. The audio drivers that I
downloaded from Dell for my specific computer won't install because it says
there is no device installed. I find this hard to believe since there is a
place for speakers and, I believe but am not sure, that media center was
part of the original vista.
If this makes any sense to anyone, I'd appreciate any thoughts you might
have on getting audio to this computer.
Thanks. Liz
