re: PCI Multimedia Audio Device driver Friday, March 26, 2004 at 12:09 am Posted by Ms. Eagle (33507 messages posted) Are you going through the Add New Hardware icon/applet? If so, try going into System Properties instead. You can also, do this way....right click My Computer - choose Properties. Under Device Manager, expand the + next to your sound device. Highlight and choose remove. Reboot.

If I remove PCI Multimedia Audio Device and reboot. What will happen. Will windows attempt to install it again? Will it find the driver? Please explain what will happen.

It normally works fine that way. After removing the device in Device Mgr. and rebooting, once back at the desktop, you should get a message that Windows has detected new hardware and will reinstall the software for it. If for some reason the driver's still not installed, you'll need to install them manually, from the directory they're in, by browsing to the location.

But still couldn't locate the driver. It followed the same steps as if you choose add hardware. Problem now is I don't know what the driver is called. I tried pointing to C: so it would search the whole drive. But still no luck. On Monday, March 29, 2004 at 4:50 pm, Carol wrote: > > >It should find the driver, as long as it's on your hard drive.

There may be an .inf file, but I don't know for sure. I can't help any further, since I can't see what's there. It's time to call a friend over, for some hands on help.

It restored the sound driver but messed up Norton Antivirus. So I located the drivers and copied them to my D drive. Then restored back to the current day. When I pointed to the drivers on the D disk it still didn't work. I then decided to restore back again to the day before and reinstall Norton. The restore stopped working. So I gave up and am leaving it as is. Bottom line is pc technology is mess. Can't wait till it catches up with mainframes in reliability.
