I just upgraded an old computer shell. Got a new 200 GB hard drive and a Gig of memory. But I noticed none of the audio hardware drivers are installed. Here's a list of the hardware without drivers, has a little yellow questionmark beside each: PCI Simple Communications Controller Video Controller (VGA Complatible) Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller Multimedia Audio Controller Any idea what drivers I might need and where I can get them, to make my sound work? |

Oomph ! I think I found it on the HP website, never mind, and thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. :D |

Ugh, now it is saying I cannot complete installation of the drivers because I am not a "Computer administrator", which yes, I am, last time I checked. I have the only user account on this, password and all, and I log into every time I turn this machine on. Any suggestions? |

what operating system are you using? |

Windows XP Professional on an HP Pavillion a610n desktop PC, with a newly installed hard drive (only hard drive, no slaves or anything). There are audio jacks and USB in the front as well as the back, and when I go to the volume icon at th bottom of the screen, sound input and output has no devices and I can't choose any devices either. Thats how I found out the drivers weren't installed. |

I had a similar problem installing drivers a while ago. I only have one user on my computer, but Windowz said I wasn't Admin. I figured out a way to solve it. Restart your computer in safe mode. Then you can choose Administrator as user, and (hopefully) install. |

*and you can (hopefully) install. |

I just tried that actually, logged in on the Admin, and still, it starts the opening/extraction of the drivers and the same "You must be logged in as an Administrator" error message pops up. I'm at a loss. :[ |

Hmm. Maybe will resolve it. |

Thank you, I will give this a shot. :D |

I am not sure exactly what to do one I type in the first part on step 2 and hit enter. |

It opens a window titled Automating Security Configuration Management, and it just looks like a bunch of help indexes with nothing to really do. |
||||||||

You type in exactly what says in step 2 ('secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\repair\secsetup.inf /db secsetup.sdb /verbose') in the window that pops up (cmd.exe). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
If you run 'cmd', it should open Command (cmd.exe). If not, do a Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> Command and type it in there. |

I think I discovered the problem. Haha, and its simple as fucccccck. Through moving the CPU around downstairs so much and fiddling with installing the new HD, I think the sound card came disconnected. Haha, so I will make sure that is plugged in later, and it should have default drivers. |

Sound devices/hardware connected okay. Still can't select anything from the input/output in the Audio Control window. Still can't install drivers. I also looked for the Compaq or HP Restore application and I can't find it anywhere on this computer. |
