Belarc Advisor should tell her the make and model of her sound card. It's free. Here's the link to it: http://www.belarc.com/Programs/advisor.exe If for some reason that doesn't work for her then there is another free program called Aida here: http://www.aida32.hu/download/aida32pe_388.exe G. Cox My darkness inside is full of stars - and each one has a name. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cyril Halbach" <kr3y@xxxxxxxx> To: <pchelpers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, January 09, 2004 9:12 PM Subject: [pchelpers] Sound stopped.. The sound stopped on my daughter's computer at the same time that the Modem quit. Unfortunately she is up in Canada, several hundres miles away. She is running Windows 98 and she was able able to get the Modem driver replaced and the modem working with some help over the phone. Is there some procedure that will interrogate the sound card to identify the model amd manufacturer so she can download a new driver? OR is there another way to attack this problem. Sugestions appreciated.
