my niece decided that she was going to uninstall some programs and low and behold she deleted the audio program. when the computer boots up it says that the audio driver is not installed so there is absolutely no sound. I click on reinstall the driver but it just keeps on restarting and the message box comes up again. here are the specs for her notebook and please help us

in system information under problem devices here is what it says
