Carnage what would drivers have to do with the sound delted of the PC?
Alvin i think you are close. It could be the volume control manager or the maybe the sound card is disabled.
But from what i read the sounds were jsut deleted. Which even with correct drivers nothing would work. The sounds need to be reapplied.
I have uploaded my sounds. This is from Windws Media Center Edition. The files go intot the Windows\Media folder.
