Linda,

Go to your sound card manufacturers website and download the driver from there for it!

Thenit will work.

NEVER download drivers for hardware devices from microsoft. They are generic at best.

Also, unless an update is for a security thing, don't install all the other mountains of crapware either.

I NEVER let microsoft do "automatic updates". I choose what I want to update and WHEN I want to do that, AFTER looking at what is available.

This approach will save you lots of headaches.

the best,

micro...

Installed a new hardware driver for my sound card, off Windoze Update.

Broke rule #1, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

You guessed it, no sound. Thing didn't install, but it didn't leave it intact, either. . . .

Curses, foiled again. Thanks, MSFT.
