Hello

 

I have read about this quite a bit on the net, but I can not seem to find a patch or download that will allow me to have sound on this computer. I accidentally wiped out my sound card. I have a windows xp home edition.

 

When I go to control panel and audio sounds and devices, everything is completely blank. 

 

I know very little about computers. I would not be able to open the computer and locate a thing if I had to

 

 i accidentally wiped out my sound card while cleaning old files out. I did go to the device manager (By pushing the windows button and pause/break) and found the yellow question mark box, but when I updated the driver, the question mark went away and it gave an error message (I think error 10) that it could not fix the issue, and now I can not find the name of the original sound card. 

 

Is there simply a download on CNET or elsewhere that will give me a way to re-install the card? Is there a program that I can get free or otherwise that will restore my computer to 2 days ago before this happened?

 

(My system restore will not give me a restore point before today)?

 

 

Kind Regards

Ken
