I have windows ME

a while back I had to reboot the system because a virus found its way onto my computer


since then my sound card was uninstalled and I have not got a clue how to get it working again.

anyone help?

Do you not have a CD which has the sound card thingamabob???

[Officer Barbrady]

When I reinstalled my ME I used one of the cds, I think the 'drivers' cd to install it again.

[Geordie Ahmed]

Ywah you should have CD for DEVICE DRIVERS

even if u aint got the cd...go to the website of the makers of the sound card and look for the drivers for it.

Go to My Computer and RIGHT CLICK and select PROPERTIES

Then select HARDWARE, then select DEVICE MANAGER, it should tell you about your sound card there!

(Im no expert either so i may be entirely wrong)

it says 'PCI Multimedia audio device' and it is uninstalled. I tried reinstalling it but it could not locate the software.

thanks

[Geordie Ahmed]

so you dont know what the name of the sound card or even the the company

geordie- i have no idea exactly. My friend suggested unscrewing the back of the computer and that will tell me but that sounds a bit dodgy to me.

actually that probably is your best option otherwise you wont know what Driver to install!
For example if you knew the make you can search for Drivers on the Net no problem!

I dont think its that dodgy. just unscrew it and catch a glimpse of the name

Or if your not keen on doing the MECHANKIE, then take it to a PC Shop

[Geordie Ahmed]

What make is your PC???

[Hash]

it is tiny

Hash bro, you can find out most of your PC's info by using a program called Sandra by SiSoft, which you can download at the bottom of this page:

You can also easily unscrew your PC case and try to find your sound card model. Then all you'd need to do is to google your soundcard make and exact model and also type "driver". You'll find it.

Tell us if you get the model/driver. Installing it is also easy.

[Geordie Ahmed]

you can try contacting them and sking for a CD! or you can do the unscrewing option!

thanks lads

What make is the PC?

Just find out the make and the model number which should be on the PC tower ( most likely on back ).

Go to the manufacturer website and they will have all the drivers for that model.

Motherboard, Soundcard and Graphic drivers.

[Muddaser]

So its Tiny?

Now just tell me the model number and I'll give you the links for the drivers.

Exactly. If your PC isn't custom built, this is certainly your easiest option
