    Okay here is situation. I haven't had sound for months, doesnt bother me but hubby is crabbing to get sound.

    Now hardware wise I know things are working because we have a game in which sound does work.

    In control panel it says no audio device.

    I have deinstalled and reinstalled realtek AC'97 drivers, nothing.
    Checked services and found audio on manual, tried starting it but comes up with "Could not start windows audio services error 193 Oxc1". Checked dependicies both (Plug and Play and RPC) are both started.

    Someone on another "geek" board told me that my card is probably going but I don't think that's it.

    Please help

    One other thing, after more investigation I ran a sfc /scannow to see if maybe it came up with some missing files. It said there were some missing files (never said what files) and to insert a XP Pro cd 2. Unfortunately this was a preloaded machine from Circuit City and I never received any XP cd's.

    Do you have an i386 folder?
    If you do, you can change it so that sfc looks in there instead of at the CD drive for an XP disk.
