ok somehow during an install of new drivers for wireless ariel which had to do about 4 times!!
on deleting the useless drivers or something, i must have deleted the bit that works my soundcard? i think,
now have no sounds when speakers switched on? damned annoying, but i got me new ariel up and running and its great not having the signal waft in and out as we are over a kilometer from the village >:(
so question, its standard windows xp missing its sounds do i go to microsoft and try to reload the soundcard drivers or something?
bear in mind utterly useless with computers hence the cockup trying to load the ariel drivers cos it wouldnt work 4 or 5 times so i deleted it all everytime and did the whole thing again, somewhere i can only think i deleted the sounds?
any easy step by step help much appreciated!

Look in device manager mate and see if sound components have been picked up and have a yellow exclamation mark next to it/them. If so go to driver install - right click item select properties - click driver tab, click install/update driver. If Windows can't install drivers you need to get driver from sound card/chip manufactures site, then install it.

Thanks Dbug,
ok done that and there are no drivers according to the computer! how do i find the sound card name? its an acer laptop,
more importantly just seen your sig says you have a tr4a :y
hoping the reg is not gvc ??? cos thats my aunties old one brg great motor!!

ALWAYS use the drivers provided by the hardware manufacturer if you want it to work as intended.

dont know but a restore would wipe out the new drivers for the ariel i have just installed which caused this problem in the first place!! so not risking it!! lol
-

hmm its an acer aspire 3630 now aorund 6 years old so must be due to die soon!
there is some faded lettering which says aspire 3634.......
more worrying is the bit i just found though
acer arcade multimedia suite, now i know that was wiped off few months ago could that cause the non function?

Hi mate - my TR4A reg starts RYH but was BRG when I first got it - part of the renovation I undertook was bodywork and a respray - I sprayed it red as that immediately increased the length of my willie by 1" ;)
As cem says post up exact model reference of your laptop then can get correct drivers from net.
Don't try a system restore mate - flakey at best of times :y
Whoops not quick enough

Look here mate http://support.acer-euro.com/drivers/notebook/as_3630.html (http://support.acer-euro.com/drivers/notebook/as_3630.html)
click on drivers and utilities for XP and select audio - download file, unzip it and look for instructions (usually a read.me file)
HTH

well kind of, only 4 judges n the mercantile court for the whole of spain, they now been told they have to work in the afternoon to catch up the backlog, no more money so they are now working even slower! last week our case was 848th in line, not bad after 2 and a half years in the system eh? and guess what? there is not an injunction order in spain so we cant stop them doing it only denounce them afterwards!! if we interfere with them doing it we get arrested!! :-X

long story Cem, but basically we bought the land, from a conman, and we didnt buy the land if you see what i mean? so he thought he could throw us off by getting the russian mafia in to terrorise the residents into leaving, where upon he could sell the land again complete with houses, cut off our water, electric, etc etc,so far have resisted but it aint easy living this way!! :o

Sorry to hear that Omegatoy.. :(
Russian mafia is the worst I know .. if they threat you, keep some arms in home and dont stay defenceless because those mafia men have no joke.. :-\
and if you can take your money back, there are many sunny cities south of Turkey.. here wont be this much of problem.. and justice system not as expected , but definitely much better than there.. and I will do my best to help :y

;D thanks Cem!! :y

;D thanks Cem!! :y
dont laugh.. good mechanic knowledge is very rare here.. you can quickly make a fortune .. :) :y

lol how long ago was this? :-\
would just like you all to know i finally got sound back on me computer!!
no matter where i went or what i downloaded nothing worked,tried everything posted on here and unless i was doing something wrong(probable) or guess maybe cos the laptop is to old or something, anyway i went to acers website again tonite, and downloaded the netbook audio, after repeatedly telling me it was an unsafe download, and i had to click continue anyway 7 times!!
it finally installed and promptly deafened me as long unused speakers burst into life!
up till now been using the skype handset to listen to everything which is not the best way of doing it!!
however soon as i can get the time im off to me mate,s up the road where he has said he will do a complete reformat? what ever that means!! which i am assured it will sort out most of the problems!!
thanks fpor all the hints and suggestions guys!! :y sorry im just not computer literate enough to carry them out!!
-
A complete reformat is wiping your hard drive and then reinstalling windows.
Make sure you have back up copies of those new aerial drivers!
-
rule #1, if it works dont touch.. believe me I learned with a highest cost that no one can guess.. :'(

then its time.. :-\ but before , go in device manager and take a note of all device detals , so you can later find their drivers from the names.. after noting them download all devices and write to a cd..
and back up all your work..
