I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling quicktime and itunes, separately. No dice. My computer didn't come with a driver CD for my sound, so I ran the Belarc Advisor.

Using my deductive reasoning, I've determined that this: http://downloadcente.....nal& lang=eng is the driver I need.
Problem- Here is what happens when I try to install:
1. Open download, download begins to extract files to C:\Program Files\Intel Desktop Board Audio Driver
2. Whether at 99% or 100% completion, extraction stops and the installer displays the error message, "The system cannot find the file specified."
3. SoundMAX installer opens. I recieve the error message: "Error: Placing Bitmap"
4. I click "Next," agree to the EULA, and the software begins to install.
5. My personal favorite problem comes up: The installer asks me to INSERT A CD. What? "Please insert disk 1 that contains the files Sys/Cleanup.exe"
this is extremely frustrating as I need to have properly working sound for my job. I don't know what else to do, so all help is appreciated.
