So my computer was running really low, and i decided it was a good idea to delete some "unused" programs. I started deleting away, and in my deleting frenzy, i accidently deleted the sound program for windows xp, soundmas, or something. I tried to system reset but it didnt work, and so now I have no sound on my computer.

sparknotes: I have no sound, and need to get it back, fast

you need to download the sound drivers necessary for your computer. it depends on what kind of sound card you have, or whether it's built in to the motherboard. you should be able to find some places to find the downloads online

or you could just do a system restore...

"System Restore helps you restore your computer's system files to an earlier point in time. It's a way to undo system changes to your computer without affecting your personal files, such as e‑mail, documents, or photos."

If all else fails, turn on your speakers.


But really, you most likely deleted a audio driver

For future reference, how were you removing programs?  Were you using their actual installer or were you just deleting the folders?

I think installing Linux causes you to move one step further away from the pussy and exhibits some true geekiness.  Luckily enough I already have a girlfriend so running Linux doesn't compromise my pussy-getting abilities.
