Thank you so much patio. I had tried last year to get an update on all my drivers and Dell wanted much $$$ so I did not believe they would replace any but YEP, they did and the Soung Max was one of them. I did not install all of them and realize that I do need to install the updated storage firmware ones. I have to do a double reboot now because it hangs on the floppy one. That is so minor compared to what lies ahead. I have 5 years of tweaking and updating and removing unwanted files, etc. to do now to get machine back to the appearance and easy use that it was before. OOHHH if I had only checked here first for what I was looking for. That will be another post on another topic. I have toolbars and search bars on top and botton of screen and browser that have long ago been removed. I don't even know what they are called now, the bottom one has no ID at all and the Windows search is an anoyance. But thanks to you dear tecky, I have sound and a icon in task bar. Thank you, thank you , thankyou for your hard and diligent work.
