I need help, bad. I had to reinstall Windows 98se and when it came back the sound
no longer worked. I've tried everything to get it back, uninstall, reinstall, update
drivers, etc.
Then I looked at my System Problem Devices and saw this:
Plug and Play Software Device Enumerator

Device failure: Try changing the driver for this device. If that doesn't work,
see your hardware documentation.

I've Googled for hours and hours and I keep seeing the Enumerator error associated
with no sound but nowhere do I see a solution.
If I go into Add New Hardware and choose the MS Enumerator it says click Finish to
install, I do and the screen flashes but then nothing happens and it doesn't change
anything.
I really do not want to reformat my drive. Does anyone know how to fix this?
I saw an earlier thread that said to do this:

I did all that and the Enumerator still does not show as a device on any of the lists.
