Compaq Presario 5000 sound driver
I'm trying to get the sound working on a Presario 5000 for someone (no driver was installed), so I downloaded it from hp.com and during installation, I get an error saying the driver cannot be found. I do have a recovery disk but I think it has win 98 on it and they want to keep win 2000. So if I can't get the onboard sound to work, my last resort is to buy a pci sound card and use that.
Any suggestions before I leave to get a sound card?
Also, this computer was unbeleivably slow, I opened "My Computer" to open the audio driver setup I burnt to CD, it took a few minutes to open my computer, then when I clicked on the CD drive it took another 5 minutes or so to show the file that is on it. Is there a way to install win 2k on a compaq and get drivers or will I just reproduce this audio driver for every device inside? I hate working on brand name computers, at least if it's a PC I built, I have all the drivers and know what's inside.
Thanks
