Answer» I am really in dire needs of sound on my laptop. I have a Sony Viao model VGN-FE790. It has Windows XP. It has been through a system recovery and completely wiped clean and re-installed. Aparently my sound driver was not re-installed. I went to the Sony support SITE and tried downloading. At the end I get the error message that the driver installed is not for this model. The site said otherwise. My computer does not list ANY drivers for sound so I have no idea which one i need to re-install. Can anyone help me? Download System Information for Windows: http://www.gtopala.com/siw-download.html to your Desktop. Get SIW Standalone (English-Only). Double click on siw.exe to run the program. Go File>Create Report File>HTML Save the file to known location. Zip the file, and attach it to your NEXT reply.after i click run a window pops up stating:
C:\Documents and Settings\April\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IES\JSW9C9N6\siw[1].exe is not a valid Win32 application
?Right click and run as administrator.in the RUN AS ADMIN window, it is prompting me for a password and i have no clue what that COULD beI'm sorry. You're with XP. For some reason, I thought, you're with Vista.
I'm not sure, why SIW wouldn't work.
Let's try something else.
Download, and install Everest Ultimate Edition 4.6: http://www.lavalys.com:8081/everestultimate460.exe Enter following registration code (Help>Enter product key) to make it fully functional: RHGJE-54X47-HML9C-V498I-UUMVI (it's all legal, the above version has been recently offered as a free download)
In left pane expand Computer folder. Click once on Summary In upper menu, go Report>Quick Report-Summary Save it in text file, and paste it in your next post. Don't include anything under the line Debug - PCI
this is the result. hope i saved correctly! thank you for all your help thus far!
