Where did you get this driver?

I suggest going to the maker of the sound card and downloading the driver
from there.

One way to find out where your temp folder is to open a command window and
run the command
echo %temp%

But you could just run the Windows cleanup program. Click the start orb &
type Windows Cleanup, which will appear in the menu before you even finish
typing it. Uncheck everything but Temporary files and click on the Clean up
button.

I lost my sound when I installed some MS updates. This has happened
before - but now, I can't fix it. All indications on the computer tell
me that the sound should work. Last night, I installed the original
sound driver that came with the laptop - but I still don't have sound. It
appears that, when I install some things, they interfere with the sound
and I don't know where to go from here.

From the Recovery Partition that came with the original drive.

Thanks, I'll try that.

If you're interested, I explained my dilemma in my previous response to
Shenan Stanley.

I would use CCleaner to empty all TEMP folders.
Make sure you know all your passwords before running CCleaner because it
will clear them.

Thanks - that's exactly what I used.
