After removing the Real Tek program from my pc after experiencing a DLL
relocation error message, I am unable to successfully reinstall it and
get
audio back on my pc. my add/remove folder shows the following software
is
installed on my computer: 1) Realtek AC'97 Audio 2) Realtek High
Definition Audio Driver.

Question: why is there no sound on my pc?

Still got problems?

Did you find out if you had the 2 ms updates in add/remove as per my 2nd
reply ( if you didnt see it let me know and I'll repost it for you)? They
were both problematic for lots of users with Realtek recently. It is
possible that your problem is nothing to do with this but I still think you
need to go that route even if its just to rule it out of the equation.

How did you uninstall the realtek in the first place, was it through
add/remove?

Some software leaves a registry entry or some other marker which prevents a
re-install (usually limited trial versions but some full versions as well).
Usually going through add/remove is more effective at tidying up loose ends
but with some like Norton (spit) you have to get an uninstaller from the
home site to clean house and then delete registry entries manually (not
recommended unless you have backed up) to allow a fresh install.

Also some software doesnt install properly if you dont switch off the
antivirus and popup stopper (once downloaded and checked of course) while
installing.
