Can anyone tell me how i can get this file?

Thanks

Julie

Howdy Julie and welcome to G2G:

You are going to have to reload the drivers for your C-Media sound card..

These will either be on the systemboard driver cd you should have received with your system or on a separate driver cd if the sound card is a separate card and not integrated into the motherboard!!

Hi Murray,
Thanks for replying

Have done this and the drivers are there but says sound card cannot start without the file. um, have also been through xp troubleshooting - still no luck.... :-(
Any other ideas?

Thanks Ju

Go into Device Manager.. Now, check to see if there are any yellow or red marks beside any of the items listed in there..

I'm running XP and can't see System in there. if its any help when i go into sounds etc and hardware and select my sound card it says:-
C MEDIA AC97 Audio device, device 17, function 5, this device cannot start (code 10)

Control Panel>Folder Options

Click on View and make sure the Show Hidden Files and Folders option IS marked..

The message is telling me the drivers may be on your system but they haven't been installed..

Murray

[jgallinzx]

This may sound silly but i cant find that one either :-(

[Murray S.]

Are you in the Control Panel??

And, you are running XP right??

Murray

[jgallinzx]

yes running xp. it shows the driver in the add/remove program list. when i go into control panel i have appearance and themes, network and internet connections, add / remove progs, sounds speech and audio devices, performance and maintenance, printers /other hardware, user accounts, date time language etc, accessibility options and security center

[Murray S.]

Hmmm.. go to Start>Help.. Type in Device Manager.. It should give you the link to there..

Hi again, It all started when i did a spyware chaeck and fixed a problem. I've restored it back to how it was before that but still have spyware........

[gerryf]

start > run
devmgmt.msc
enter

[jgallinzx]

OK I have device manager up now, i should say that since i did my restore the sound is back. the offending piece of spyware was called euniverse.searchnugget.toolbar
