re: Windows reports ''no audio device'' Wednesday, September 17, 2008 at 1:57 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by james (1 messages posted) hey everyone I've been reading up on this whole situation, and the truth is i barely know anything about computers just the basics i guess.... but a friend of mine recently gave me a computer which included just the tower i don't even know the make of it, but the computer seemed to work fine until i guess i wanted to make some space because there were way to many programs i didn't need. i came to the conclusion that i deleted the sound program realtek AC97 on accident and I've been trying to restore the sound back to my comp since Friday. I've tried to do a system restore back to a previous date when the sound was there, and nothing..i always find myself going to the control panel.sounds and audio devices and it reports there is no audio device. I've also tried downloading the realtek ac97 program again and i get a message from windows saying that it does not recognize that file and i click continue and my computer restarts and i find myself back where i was...i honestly do not know what to do anymore.....any suggestions would be much appreciated thanks again On Saturday, September 13, 2008 at 6:06 pm, JOSE wrote: >you r welcome!
