after reading various posts about having no sound, I
understand about rebooting in Safe mode, but if I check
the Device Manager under SAFE MODE and look for all
occurrences of "SOUND" I find about 10 different things
from the sound card its self to wave modem to game
controllers etc. In NORMAL MODE there are only 3 items
pertaining to Sound.
So should I be deleting everying (all 10 items) in SAFE
MODE then rebooting to normal mode so that WinME re-
installs my drivers for my sound cards?
If it isn`t detected, does that mean I will have to
recover my system using the recovery disk?
Thanks
