[sigh] ... that's the series

... Lookee how many hits it gives ! (see if you can fathom which model you have).

You can try all Mayets links if you like .. & see if she's been inspired to 'guess' correctly, trouble is as I said with 'onboards' is the 'bits' are tough to identify exactly & thus get 'bang on' the right drivers, they may very well work, I just can't be certain for you ....

If you ain't happy with that, try giving as much info on your box, then maybe someone here can figure just which model & be sure (Given that we don't know for sure, try the suggested ones first etc etc

)

no when i type "sndvol32.exe" in run it says there is no such file.... so im kinda lost and that link didnt work either well the download of it didnt.... and alos thanks for the link guys that fixed my sound and video now im just kinda lost on the sndvol32.exe issue....

sndvol32.exe should live in the windows\system folder.

Next thing to do is check in there and see if there is any file call sndvol32 - make sure you have set in my computer, tools, folder options, view, the ability to see hidden files and protected sysem files, also make sure you have unchecked hide extensions for known file types.
If it is not there, get your xp disk and go start, run and type in SFC /scannow and click ok. That should put it back.

Do you have service pack 1 and all updates installed for xp pro?

Nah honey ... you were on the right lines, just a touch 'premature', a problem you'll care to note I don't suffer from !

BTW ... if I remember 'correctly' sndvol32.exe's installation is something 'kicked' off by the detection process, on original setup, so its not unknown for it just not to be 'there'... I think to have it present xp must have found something it 'thought' was 'somehow' a s/c, even if it didn't have working drivers for it. I wouldn't worry about its 'absence' anyway

A 'fix' for you (JSI faq - this gives you the correct 'expands' if you don't fancy searching all your cabs

)

nope i dont think i can download the critical update 1 because i dont have a registered copy of XP Pro

**Mayet** · January 10th, 2004, 07:33 PM

you need to go buy a registered copy of XP.

Piracy is illegal and especially with windows Xp you need to register it to activate it....

I personally will not assist people who use illegal or pirated copies on their systems...it is so wrong....

So please do yourself a favour...get back in Gods good books by buying a proper legal copy.....
