    Think something accidentally got uninstalled. Have no sound whats so ever on the computer. When I go into device manager there is a yellow question mark in other devices. Not sound,video,game controllers. When I right click the ? mark, there are 2 things that drop down. One says Audio Device on High Definition Audio Bus and two says Video Controller (VGA compatible). They give me the choices to update; disable; & uninstall.
    When I click properties it says to reinstall.
    Says this... The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)
    To reinstall the drivers for this device, click Reinstall Driver.

    If I try to reinstall it asks me for a disc. I do not have one. Not sure what I have to reinstall. DriverMax was not that helpful. I don't really want to keep trying these driver help downloads. I just want to know what exactly to do. This is the info I got from my computer. I am sorry I don't know more than this. It is not our main computer, thought it was rebuilt. I really appreciate any help. My kids are driving me nuts wanting sound for their games, lol. Let me know if you need anymore info. And yes, I tried system restore, didn't work. Thank you!

    Is there a way to download that without downloading the driver inspector?

    Not to sound too dumb, but I am still a little confused. Tried what I thought was right on that page, didn't do anything. Well, it put something into a zip folder. Could you be a little more specific. Sorry. Thank you.
