In the user account, when any sound was played a message appears saying no sound device installed.
I have tried re-installing the AC97 adio drivers but it has made no difference.
system:-
win xp pro
Onboard sound card
1 user set up (did have admin wrights but since problem occured a new admin has been set up and the main user given limited access)
Any ideas as to why this is happening?
Thanks

Hi Paul, Probably that one user has muted the sound or turned down the volume to zero. That would be effective only for him. Get him to un-mute or turn the vol up. Jim
