Thanks, TRIGGERFINGER for suggesting remedies for my "lost sound". I reinstalled the audio driver and had sound to announce I have mail-ONCE then no more sound. I went to a video on a sports page and received the picture, but no sound.
As I am a "rookie w/ computers" I am now about to ask some dumb questions:
1. Where do I find my device manager....on EManager?
2. I googled Linux and found Knoppix 5.3.1 for $9.95, I think? Am I to assume that if I buy this software, install it, it will diagnose and repair my problem?
3. Yesterday, I bought a subscription with Driver Detective and it found some driver and software errors. One was the audio driver. I dowloaded RealTk AC97, but am unable to install it. Their drctions are in audio format and their written directions are "over my head"...
