sound driver not found

I googled how to get sound working on windows xp and found this thread http://www.softwaretipsandtricks.com...esnt-work.html and luckily that guy had the exact same problem and the same motherboard as me. So i downloaded the program (http://support.asus.com.tw/download/...Language=en-us) but when i run it i just get the error "Driver not found! Reboot your system, and run this setup again.". I reboot my system and run it again and still nothing happens (i tired it more than once). Could someone tell me why this isn't working or tell me another way i could get my sound to work?

try installing this way, use the If No Setup File method

Installing Drivers

Create a folder for what you are downloading

Example: Audio
Then download the zipped file to that folder

Then download and install Winzip
Go to the folder and right click and click Winzip extract to here

That will automatically make a folder and unzip files to it ( make a note of file path)

Then go to folder and click on Setup file and follow instructions displayed for installation

If no Setup file

1. Expand "Sound, video and game controllers"
2. Right-click the the yellow flagged device ( or audio device Realtek, Soundmax C-Media etc ) and choose Update Driver
3. In Windows XP SP2, the Update Wizard will prompt to connect to the Windows Update
4. Select "No, not this time" and click Next
5. Select "Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)" and click Next.
6. Select "Search for the best driver in theses locations" and check "Include this location in the search"
7. Click Browse and select the location of downloaded driver
8. Click OK and click Next
9. Wait while the Wizard installs the software
10. Click Finish.

Set a System Restore Point before installing just in case
Start / All Programs / Accessories / System Tools / System Restore – click radio button Create a restore point and follow instructions

Good, sometimes you have to make Win XP use the driver, it can be a picky little devil LOL
