Firstly not sure if this is the correct area to post in, so apologies upfront if its wrong

Now, please dont laugh as I am not clever with computer mechanics whatsoever

I decided that i would tidy things up and went into th add/remove programs in XP and deleted a few things that i have used 'rarely'

Now my speakers wont work or anything and any sort of notification for anything is a 'beep' :rolleyes:

cant play musice , nothing. I went into norton recycle bin and tried to see something obvious but being a bit of a thicky biscuit i cant see anything.

I have looked in my installation disks that came with my computer a couple of years ago and nothing seems obvious there too.

Can someone please advice in the most basic way possible?

Many thanks

matt
 
It's probably going to be the program and/or drivers for your sound card. did you get a separate disc for the sound card? or was it all compiled on one disc?

edit: and yes, this should probably be in the windows forum, but I'm sure a mod will move it for you!
 
not at all familiar with dells specifically (other than the one I'm using now at work, but I don't get access to the discs and stuff unfortunately) You might be able to install the drivers separately from the main disc, but it might be best to see if someone who actaully has a dell can tell you!
 
Was thinking that with dells theres a sticker on the back of pc with a service code which if you go to manufacturers site and enter the code it will show you hardware which was installed when put together plus drivers to download

Also if your running xp try a restore to see if that works first
 
Defiantly sounds like you have uninstalled your sound drivers.

Download and install this

I am guessing that you have onboard sound here. Although if you dont you may need a different driver, but try that one first.
