also, if it was sold as a new

that is cheating customers with

That some people are so ignorant when buying a computer that they don't
think past their noses.
They look for a computer and find one they like. The salescrook expouts
it's a great machine,
256meg of ram, cd burner and easy to use. Well shoppers, take a moment to
think about what
you're going to do when the time comes (and it will) to reinstall the
system. Yes, that flashy machine
didn't come with installation disks did it. How many of you reading this
have got all the necessary disks?

I'm reinstalling my friend's machine and guess what, yep no disks.
No windows, no modem drivers, no graphic drivers, no sound drivers, no
antivirus software. Wake up
people, would you buy a car with no petrol cap? But it was full when I
bought it! They say there's one
born every day. More than one, me thinks!!!

Anyway, I need help and advice.

After installing Windows Pro it appears the multimedia audio controller is
not installed.
How would I overcome this problem?
Also, the PCI modem isn't installed either. Yep, no disks and Windows
wizard couldn't
find a driver for it.

I thought windows installed it's own drivers for these but apparently not,
or do you think it's a bad installation?
Can someone help me out so I can give this machine back and forever keep my
big mouth shut in future.
Could it be that the new install of Windows Pro is faulty and needs to be
reinstalled again?
