I cannot restore to an earlier time, (as mentioned).....

So what would be the point of saving a new restore point at a stage where my
sound doesn't work.... ?

1 put the cards where they were and

2 do a system restore...and confirm the pc is working as you want it to.

3 make a new restore point

4 then do your experiments - changes

Hi peeps....

My pc was working fine, has been for ages.....

I added a pci freeview tv card, i had to remove the modem which was in
one
of those small slots right next to the spare pci slot so that I could fit
it.... all went normal.... tuner worked, sound worked, but that was
Monday....

yesterday I noticed my sound had disappeared & the tuner software had now
refused
to run, after trying all I could think of, I uninstalled & removed the
freeview card & refitted the modem, back to as it was...

still no change....

I reinstalled the sound driver for the onboard sound, but no change....

I look in 'control panel/Sounds & audio devices' it states 'no audio
device'
& all is greyed out, under the other headings of audio & voice options I
seem to have 'modem #0 line playback' & 'modem #0 line record' & nothing
else to change to....

But... Under device manager the audio drivers are there & it also states
the
device is working properly

I tried a system restore to prior to this, but it simply doesnt let it go
back to any....

even removed the sound driver again etc
even the voice modem too this time.... & let windows sort it out with net
access.... windows
found the devices... installed a driver too....

still, no change.... if I dig through audio driver properties I still get
'the device is working properly' but under its hardware properties part I
found 'driver is enabled but has not been started'..... ?@#!

I had reinstalled the driver I had used when I first setup the
system,loadsa times... I have also, in desperation tried other
variants.... no luck though....

Even tried someone elses solution here:
http://www.mcse.ms/archive61-2005-5-1069682.html but no luck there
neither....

I was tempted to go out & get a new card instead, but... I dont really
want to lose a pci slot, I only have 3, none really going spare....
typical



How on earth do I get round this crazy position... ? XP seems very
stubborn in its ways...

Hopefully someone out there can help...




btw, I have a 512mb p4 imedia 5064, which has the GA-8SIML rev 2.0 mobo,
onboard lan, sound, graphics....
