I accidently deleted the volume...

[Saphster]

First off, Hello to everyone here.

I am such an idiot. LOL my computer has been going slow for a little while so I thought maybe deleting some programs would help lessen the lump on it's shoulders.

I have no idea how but I deleted the volume on my computer.:rotflmao:

This is what I need back on my computer!

Oh please if someone knows how I can get it back without deleting more things on my computer (like my pictures), or where I can download it please let me know. I am in desperate need here, and I didn't know what other section to put this in lol.

I don't know if rebooting it would work, but I have so much graphic picture work on my computer I don't want nothing more to be deleted. Someone please help me...:cry2:

What operating system on you using?

[Saphster]

I don't know much about computer software, or terms too much so forgive me if I can't catch on too quick. Well, I have Windows XP.

In control panel>sounds and audio devices> volume tab is there a checkmark in the "place volume icon in the taskbar" box?

[Saphster]

All I see is green checks by..

Adjust the system volume
Change the sound scheme
Change the speaker settings

But if I choose anyone it says "No audio device".

[Saphster]

Would rebooting help restore everything I deleted?

[Rainbow32]

Sounds like you uninstalled or deleted components needed for your sound card.
Try doing a system restore back to a date before you made the changes.

Is that it? I also am having trouble with mp3 files on my computer. Little music symbols used to come up next to any mp3 song that I had, and now just a little paper sign comes next to it.

Install these drivers and all should be good will require a reboot.

Is this a dell, HP?I ment HP

ftp://209.216.61.149/pc/audio/WDM_R154.exe

[Saphster]

It's a Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition/ HP Administrator.

What will rebooting help though? Will it restore all the programs I deleted in the last few hours? Will it delete any saved programs, files, music, or pictures I have on my computer? I need to know the risks...

reboot after you install drivers all will be the same but you will have volume:)

reboot after you install drivers all will be the same but you will have volume:)

Well after I installed it I had to restart it, and it works! I can hear stuff!:D But for some strange reason I can't use the volume keys on my keyboard. Everytime I try to turn the volume up with my keyboard it automatically goes to the lowest volume...wierd. It seems like when something is fixed, something else goes wrong grrr :curse: lol...

[Colmaca]

you been deleting a lot programs that need to run to make things work, let me look for your keyboard drivers. be right back:)

[Colmaca]

Here you go install these and the keyboard should work again

Well, a little pop up thing came up, and said I needed to restart again, and my keys are working! Thank God.

Thank you everyone for all your help. I can pretend nothing happened. :thrilled: :D
