Unhappy Solved: Sound Device Missing?
Hiya.
I recently got a computer that had not been used very much, from my friend. It is a slim Dell computer, and I am using Windows XP.
I accidently uninstalled my sound software, which was Avrack Realtel AC97.
I can't get it back, and when I install it, it still says that there is no sound device hooked up, when obviously, there is.
My speakers work fine, and they are hooked up correctly.
I desperatly need help. Any ideas?
And thanks.

Hiya.
I actually fixed this yesterday. I just uninstalled everything and reinstalled it, and for some reason it worked this time.
Thanks though. :]
