Unfortunately you cannot download the system.ini file. It contains information pertinent to your particular hardware/software setup.

You do not mention the version of Windows that you are using but if you do nat have a backup copy you could try this:

Boot to DOS
go to your Windows directory (c:\windows or whatever)
Type "dir system.*" (no quotes)

If there is a windows.bak, windows.old or windows.something then copy that file (if there are more than one choose the one with the latest date) to system.ini (ie "copy system.bak system.ini"). Reboot your system.

You might have to reinstall some hardware or software if you find certain components do not work properly.

This could also be the problem with your sound. Some settings are stored in the system.ini file on certain versions of Windows.

Let us know what happens.
