HI enduser, I have just written a very similar response to yours to Rony. This is
my 1st computer Its a win p dell inspiron and Its only 3 months old so you can imagine
my disgust when I found out that I am going to have to pay at least 30quid to download
audio drivers because mine weredeleted when I had the computer cleared. It seemed
easier than trying to resolve the mistakes I had made. I would have thought that
microsoft have some remedy for this problem as it involves thousands and isn't just
a fluke. I feel cheated. Anyway just thought I would give my support to you. If you
find any other solutions I would be grateful to hear them. I really am a complete
novice at this but I'm getting better. thanks enduser. Maria.
