    Hey

    Ok, so it extracted a whole lot of files.

    Is there one thats called Setup?
    If so double click on it and it should install.

    If not, Right Click on My Computer, then go down to properties

    Now click on the Hardware Tab, then Device Manager.

    Now You should see something like Multimedia Device with a yellow ! at the beginning.

    Right click on that and go Properties, now select Update Drivers.

    Follow the prompts and point to the Directory where the files extract to.

    Do it to all of them if there is more then one.

    OK...

    If you have the downloaded file i said to download earlier. Tell it to Extract to C:\TEMP

    Now, go into Device Manager and Right Click on the Multimedia Device, then go Properties.

    Now click on Update Driver.

    If you have SP2 installed, on the Connect to windows update, select No, Not this time then click Next.
    If not, dont worry.

    Now click on the Install from a list or specific location (advanced) then click Next

    Put a tick only in the Include this location in the search: then click browse

    Now select the folder where u extract the files which should be C:\TEMP then click Next

    That should then install the drivers.

    Do it to all the Multimedia Devices if more then one.

    Yep, thats the Disc

    Put that in the CD-ROM Drive and it should auto Start, select the Audio one and follow the prompts, it will then want to restart.

    You should then have Audio.

    Hey

    Has the Yellow ! gone from Multimedia now ?

    Go into Control Panel -> Sounds and Audio Device.

    Does it No Audio Device up the top or a differnt name ?

    Can you move the slider under Device Volume ?

    What does it say in Device Manger, when you right click on the Mutlimedia Device, does it have an error number or message ?

    Are you sure the speakers are plugged in the Lime Green plug at the back of the computer?

    Is the sound working, if you can move the slider it should...
