Default SOUND NEEDED - CAN SOMEONE LOAN ME THEIR BRAIN??

Elle

How old is the computer? What is the make and model?

Computer hardware has been transformed since the days of Windows 95!

Firstly I appologise as my computer wouldn't let me commence my own

Ive just purchased service pack 3 (windows xp) and previously had I
think windows 95 (but it was apparently a dodgy copy). We have
installed the service pack 3 and yes yes yes,,,,, there is no volume
at all. I have tried help and support to no avail. I have also
tried some hints on here to no avail.

There seems to be a problem with D drive. I can get media player to
play video clips but no sound.
When I go into Sounds and Audio Devices, there is no audio device
under volume, when I try sound and try to play a windows default
sound - nothing,,, It looks like (an I really don't know) like maybe
the hardware is incorrect or there is no hardware??

I tried Start, All Programs, Accessories, entertainment and volume
control then i get a message "NO ACTIVE MIXER DEVICES". Then follow
the next steps which is Control Panel, Print and OtherHWare devices
and Add Hardware then blow me down,,,,,,, it tells me to insert the
installation cd (which im guessing is the disc labelled Windows Home
Edition) and install hardware this way,,,

How do I install off of this disc when we have already been through
and installed everything on it,,,,,,

Can someone help please????







this is the beginner forum correct?

how does one find out what exact build/version of xp pro they have
on their machine?
