Re: 'sthda'sys'



I checked out that link Olorin gave and it sucks. It's a pay for help site that gives you a 7 day free trial. I'll never sign up for that.

A quick Google reveals sthda.sys to be a sound card driver file for your Intel chip motherboard named C-Major Audio, from SigmaTel, Inc.

It seems that you may be on a Gateway system as they come with that integrated sound card on the motherboard. If your system is a Gateway have a look at the following forum discussion which contains a link to download the drivers for the sound card.

http://www.notebookforums.com/thread188271.html

If your system isn't a Gateway, go to the web site for the manufacturer of your pc or motherboard, and look in their Tech Support links for your sound card driver download.

I need to find a
file 'sthda'sys' to continue installation.

Any MS people here know where I can get this file or if there is a way
around it?

With the minimal information you've provided (installation of what? what is this to do with MS or XP?), all I can do is advise "Google is not your enemy" at point you to, perhaps, http://www.experts-exchange.com/OS/Microsoft_Operating_Systems/Windows/XP/Q_22918525.html and suggest browsing the installation media (DVD, CD, floppy) that came with whatever it is you're trying to install in case the file is tucked away there somewhere.
