Sorry for posting so many times, but this is critical, and I failed to mention it. I keep getting various -strange- requests from the computer, things like "ksuser.dll" and "aec.sys" or whatever it was, all these things pertinent to installing new hardware MEDIA (as it calls it). I fear there are larger, more grisly problems to tackle with this thing--it seems to think it can get them from the Windows XP install CD, but clearly it would have put them on the computer if it had them in the reformat, wouldn't it? Furthermore, I've searched the CDs extensively for even one of the many files for which it seems to be asking and have found nothing. I'm starting to think this entire computer is beyond repair.

Also, when I go into Windows Media Player to play something, when I try to play the song it doesn't even try to play the music, it just gives me an error saying "Cannot play back the audio stream: no audio hardware is available, or the hardware is not responding." I know I have a sound card, sounds played before the reformat. I'm just not sure how to fix the drivers now :/ IP: Logged |

My AC 97 driver seems to be put back in place (after an Uninstall/Reinstall attempt I made)...if you look here ( http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v107/Stoneneedle/screenshot-drivers.jpg ) you can see my Device Manager take on things--this "Unknown Device" is ominous. So I think to answer your question, yes, I have the drivers...or...do I? IP: Logged |

I'm having a similar problem to the post of June of '05, a user named ghoul_hades reported his sound card not working. I tried the same solution, because it seemed like I have a similar card, but the program gave me an error, stating "Device Object not present, please restart and run setup again." Obviously I restarted and it just said the same thing...AIDA32 reports my sound card as an Intel 82801DB(M) ICH4(-M) - AC'97 Audio Controller [A-1] PCI card. Any suggestions for what I should do?
