I had a virus on my disc, so i cleaned it down with a format on C:Format. Now that I have rebuilt my system, i can not get any sound from my machine what is possibly wrong, also my 'Kensington' camera fails to work as well. So I have lost touch withmy son in Australia, so it is important for me to fix my system !!

Start by downloading and installing the manufactures latest drivers in the following order;

System / chipset / motherboard
DirectX (Microsoft)
Video card
Sound card
Other plug-in cards
Camera
(The camera will also need software to function,this should be on a CD that came with the camera)

If you need help identifying your motherboard, go to either www.motherboards.org
or ww.wimsbios.com
Both have tools to help identify who made your motherboard, and links to driver pages.

For the plug-in cards, go to www.driverguide.com
(membership is free)
And search for each card mfg.
Use the links to the mfg web site whenever possible.

If you are still having problems, go to Control Panel, Add/Remove programs, Windows Components.
Under Acessories, Multimedia, and Sytem tools, you may need to add components.

When you buy a computer and camera, the seller may give you the CDs that contain driver for your hardware.
First, you have to check your sound card, which brand it is.
Second, click right mouse on My Computer > Properties > Device Manager tab. Ifyou see the hardware with the question mark remove it.
Third, click Start > Settings > Ctrl Panel > Add new hardware and select hardware that you would like to install like Sound Card and Camera.
If the steps above won't help download the latest version of the Sound Card and Camera driver from the Internet. I hope this will some help.
