I have a Dimension 3000 Dell and the sound car is Soundmax integrated Digital Audio. Sound isn't working on it probably because I don't have the correct driver. I Downloaded one but it won't work. Can any comp. techie help me out?
Are you sure it's the right one? Have you tried www.driverguide.com? They usually have all the drivers you need.
Definitely look for the driver in one of the CDs that came with your computer or look for a download on dell.com.
Didn't want to start a new thread so I just brought back this old one. Anyway, my computer said something like by October 10th my version of Windows XP will be expired or something. In order to update it I clicked on the bubble and it took me to the official site. After I downloaded the new XP thing my computer has been acting retarded since. It's not even starting now. Any help?
Re-install XP? I don't know, I just remember my brother doing that to my computer a long time ago and it worked.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Locke:</div><div class="quote_post">Do you have XP Home? If you do, install XP Pro, it gets rid of the confirmation stuff.</div> Not necessarily. Activation is a part of all versions of XP unless you have Windows XP Professional Corporate Edition. You definitely want to have a legitimate copy of Windows these days because they validate your system before you can apply security patches. What was the "new XP thing" that you downloaded? Windows Genuine Advantage?
