Since downloading on 6-14 the student version of AutoCAD Electrical 2007 from the Autodesk site (which included concurrent Direct x 9.0 and Realtek Audio AC 97 Audio downloads), I have no sound, including no computer sound effects, and get two messages on startup:
1-There is no sound recording capabilities for Skype, and
2- Found hardware wizard that can't find the Multimedia Audio Controller.
-The Device Manager also says there is none detected (Multimedia Audio Controller).
-Checked the Realtek site and there doesn't seem to be a download for WinXP.
-Also did the Windows troubleshooting to no avail.
-Tried restoring the system to two days ago restore point and it said it couldn't do it so that my computer is still unchanged.
-The AutoCAD download took three times to finally download so maybe something got messed up in the process. I'm trying to avoid having to uninstall it since it took so long to finally get through.
Tried three times to download EverestUltimate from softpedia but it said the file was incomplete. Was able to download the Belarc system info program though.
Below is some info on my computer from that.
Any suggestions on what to do? Would much appreciate some direction!
