Hi,

I have an HP pavilion laptop and it used to run XP very smoothly until i got a virus that would not allow me to start up any programs at all, including the recovery processes. So I searched through all my computer CDs and found a copy of Windows XP and loaded it from startup. Now I have an operating computer, but no audio drivers or devices installed because the copy of windows XP was for a GATEWAY computer and not my Pavilion. I cannot locate my original CDs and am a poor college student who cannot afford to buy any new hardware and my warranty is out of date. I have searched and searched and downloaded lots of things that should have fixed my audio driver, except that my computer has registry problems because it is not a legitimate copy of XP for my pavilion. Can anyone SPELL out for me how to download a FREE driver and hardware that works so that my computer will play sound? Thanks.
