Sound Driver Problems

[cafc-4-life]

Hi there. My computer recently became very badly infected with malware but I managed to get rid of most of it because I borrowed a friend's eMachines restore CDs. One of my restore CDs had a crack down it, therefore I used my friend's one to restore the computer. Everything went well and the restoration was fine. The only problem I seem to have now is that I have no sound on my computer. I have tried to download a few sound drivers already but nothing seems to have done the trick.

My computer is an eMachines 3220. The CD's I used to restore it were from an eMachines 180.

Can anyone provide any information or help?

Here is a post of my Hijackthis log. If it helps...

If the restore disk you used is from a different model eMachines computer than yours it will have installed the wrong driver for your audio, and possibly other drivers. To solve your audio problem go to the eMachines website and download the driver for your sound card.
Completely uninstall your audio driver from the device manager, reboot and install the new driver.

Hopefully that works, if not the problem may be something else.

Unfortunately by borrowing another set of CD's you are no longer using the correct Windows that belongs to the system and you are using someone elses copy. By our rules we cannot assist you any further. You should try to contact eMachine to get a new CD shipped to you.

As a footnote, since you mentioned that your restore CD was cracked, you should have just made another one. Most eMachines have that option from your start menu, programs
