Hi Barbara,

Many thanks for the suggestion....

Unfortunately the windows audio service exists, is auto and has started successfully.

I sort of suspect that the on board audio is dead, but I'm too much of a bulldog to accept it, since there's no obvious reason why it should stop working after 3 years.....

What I'm really trying to do is get a copy of the avove set of drivers. Any suggestions?

Thanks again
