Cant hear my sound??????????

[confus-ed]

See I was wrong...it was the other one.....

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

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.....

will you be the one to donate me 199.99$ ?

You don't need the service pack to fix this.

btw its the serial number they block at windows update & you don't need to register xp pro only home ...

Void, you have just wasted a whole lot of time, ours and yours. I hope you will go look at the rules you signed up to here when you registered.

As for poor me I cant afford it argument, it don't wash. If you are a student, get a student licence, if not, save up like the rest of us have to.
