yes most of things you have listed looks like you have done a reformat and have not run the m/b cd to reinstall them

Hey, I have done it eventually
I was just going through D: drive & there was a folders containing Drivers, when I opened, it was Soundmax. I run it and it started working.

Dai, lemme ask u something here. I have a old nx5000 hp laptop.
I run m/b cd b4 i find the driver folder. But m/b cd did not recognised any drivers which was in yellow colour. Everytime when I ran that CD to re-install and upgrade drivers it says 'Hardware Not Found'?????

Is it because my laptop is too old and all drivers in m/b are newly updated???

Thanks!!!
