    Oh dear, another audio driver deletion
    « on: July 24, 2009, 02:45:14 PM »
    Hi

    I have accidentally purged my supposedly unused program files but have also lost my audio driver.  I'm running XP; within sounds and audio everything is greyed out.  I've no idea what sound card I have; I've tried running DirectX diagnostics, but it said no sound card was found.  Any ideas, please?
