After countless attempts to repair XP with Ghost, nothing worked. I then formatted and installed a complete fresh XP. After clicking Esc every 30 sec because of file cannot load, I got XP up and running.
Problem is, there is no sound, just system beeps.
1) I downloaded the Realtech Ac 97 file from the site, did not work.
2) I checked system.svs under start, it says its running.
3) There are no yellow explanation marks under device manager
4) All drivers claim to be working properly.
5) There are no active mixers when sound is clicked.
6) I tried the recovery disk that came with the system, did not work.
7) I tried the Intel Chipset download but could not complete.
8) Sound is an onboard Realtek AC’97 Audio and a
Realtek AC’97 Audio Driver
9) Retrieved all info on system from Belarc.
