**Update**

try this site http://www.realtek.com.tw/Downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=14&PFid=24&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false

 

thanks again but still nothing its 4:31 am here and im not giving up lol last night i was up till 8 am :zzz theirs got to be someone that can save me lol

 

the only other i can think of is do you have a windows xp disk (or the disk of the os that's on that computer) put it in it's drive and try to redetect every problem device on your computer and see if that helps.

 

Can you tell us what the FULL PC model # is or find the serial or part #'s listed anywhere on your tower?

Once you have that number, go here and input your nunber. That should take you to your PC Model and drivers.

If that doesn't work, do the steps below.

Use Everest to get a report of your system’s hardware, OS, and drivers. Upload the report as an attachment
Everest: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4181
When Everest is done scanning, click "Report" at the top of the Everest window, click next to get to "Report Profile", select "Hardware related pages", click next, select "Plain Text", click "Finish". Then when it is done processing, click "Save To File". Save it where you want to. (I would use Desktop.)
Click "Go Advanced" in the MG reply box, scroll down a little way until you see "Manage Attachments", click it, browse to your file, click "Upload", and close the window. Then submit the post. You may have to also type something in the reply box, like, "Here's my report.", so that it will submit.

 

here you go , thank you so far for your help

 

Try doing these steps as complete as possible. (Some steps may not be available):
1) In Device Manager, remove the High Definition audio device under Sound, Video & Game controllers (or the unknown device, if there is one).
2) Go into Device Manager>System, right click the UAA Hi-Def Bus driver.
Disable the device and then uninstall it. (Do not re-boot yet)
3) Uninstall Realtek High Definition Audio Driver (you may just have a folder that says Realtek) through Add/Remove Programs (if it's installed but not working)
KB888111
In Add/Remove Programs, look for the KB888111 update and uninstall it. (It may have uninstalled in last step)
If you install, remove, and then re-install this update, the update is no longer listed in Add or Remove Programs in Control Panel.
Therefore, you cannot remove this update from your computer.
To work around this problem, follow these steps.
1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit in the Open box, and then click OK.
2. Locate and then click the following subkey in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates\Windows XP\SP2\KB888111 (may be in SP3)
3. On the Edit menu, click Delete.
4. Click Yes, and then exit Registry Editor.
Run CCleaner, both the Cleaner and Registry.

Reboot, but don't let Windows install any drivers.


This is the chipset driver for your board from the Packard-Bell site:
http://support.packardbell.com/de/item/index.php?i=6944030000&pi=platform_veloce_ixtreme
Install it shut down your PC, then reboot, before installing the audio driver

This should be your audio driver. It does contain the MS UAA:

Do another shut down and then reboot.

Yes, try re-booting again and see if the Wizard comes back up.
