I have inadvertently disabled my sound card and cannot system restore it -
hence I have no sound !

I tried to be clever and downloaded what I thought was an update for my
sound card from the Microsoft update page
(Custom - Hardware - C- media AC 97 ?)

I thought it was an update for my CMI Audio X3d ?

Now I cannot find mine original one anywhere (it is on the start up list and
used to appear as an icon )

And all is quite.

I have tried to system restore in an effort to back track but it will only
go so far and tell me it cannot restore - try another one. unfortunately
with the same result.

Any advice help would be gratefully received !

Incidentally the system properties now seem to save a yellow exclamation
mark and the name of the 'new' device ?

What can I do !!

many thanks everyone

Jim
