Gail if this is a Dell you can go to their web site and download all
your drivers.
When you run the self expanding driver it will create a directory on
your HD called dell and will make a subdirectory of the driver. Mark
down the number of each driver, and the do an install of the hardware
or when it asks for a disk, direct it to the subdirectory.

Hi I rinally (for the first time) reformatted my HDD on my Dell
Dimension E510.
The procedure went surprisingly well, and I THOUGHT I had gathered
all the software, drivers, etc., taht I needed. However, somebody
said the drivers would be on the ereformat drive so I wasn't very
careful about that I fear!
So I can't find the proper sound card driver -- well, I apparently
had it because the sound worked for a couple days but then I
downloaded Service Pack 2 and now I have a couple issues: There is
no sound. I've double checked to be sure the speakers are plugged in
and I've looked at the Device Panel to see that my "IDE High
Definition CODEC" has a yellow question mark and when I check it,
I'm told that the device cannot start (Code 10). The troubleshooter
wants me to uninstall it let the system reinstall it it seems to
think all will be well. So I did that and it sstill doesn't work.
Upon the "found new hardware" I'm asked for a disk and then we go
back to grund zero.
I have to suspect that this came about with the installation of
Service Pack 2. And I have two other issues (that i had on my
machine before the reformat) which are two error messages at
atartup, having to do with my DLINK router that I use to access the
Internet through my Comcast Modem. The messages are:
AIRGCFG.EXE NOT FOUND (WLANAPI.DLL). The other one is WZCSLDR2.EXE
-- driver not found in wlanapi.dll. Those two issues (and a couple
more) occurred before the reformat after I onstalled Service Pack 2
on the machine a few months ago. No users except myself are in my
little "network"- on the desktop and the laptop.
So long as it's not hurting anything these latter two annoyances can
stay but I really need to see what I can do to restore sound to my system.
One of the reasona I wanted to reformat the HDDD was so I could get
my Media Center up and running again and then watch TV through my
Hauppauge USB Box. When iI first got this machine 3 years ago it
worked beautifully but , sometime around the time I installed
Service Pack 2, it stopped working, Of course until I can get sound
it seems silly to test to see if I can get the TV to work NOW THAT i
HAVE REFORMATTED THE DRIVE SO so I haven't done that yet.
Any help/advaice/ etc you can provide will be MUCH appreciated. I'm
eager to get this finished so I can get on with Christmas!
Warmest regards,
Gail Miller
