Default HELP

I have no sounds. I have tried everything. Could a person accidentaly
delete the sound card? My kids get on here and down load things and change
things. I have done everything the book says to do. Debbie

Check to see if the sound card drivers are installed
right click MyComputer/properties/hardware/devicemanager
look under the sound etc tab
anything thats missing a driver should be marked with an exclamation usually
in red.
If that is the case dig out the CD that came with your sound card or
computer system and look for the drivers on the CD.
then install them...usually an .exe file.
The other way would be for you to right click the offending device and then
Update driver....at which point you will have to point the driver wizard to
the CD or let it find the drivers on the WEB.

"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving

sideways, chocolate in one hand, margarita in the other, body thoroughly
used up, totally worn out and screaming, "WOO HOO what a ride!"
