You might try a System Restore to a point prior to your problem:

start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore

Also see this:

No Items Appear in the Device Manager List When You Open It

Hi
I can only run a system restore as a yesterday - but I deleted sound device a little while ago. I have clicked on link above for ' no items appear in the device manager list when you open it' - play & plug was disabled so I clicked automatic and then re-started .......still no sound device.

Any ideas
Thanks in adavance
Janet

Try reloading that driver now that Plug and Play is on.

Also, now that plug and Play is on, Try that refresh thing in device manager

Hello

ITS FIXED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I reloaded the realtek 97 thing then went into control panel--administrative tools--services--windows audio & this was set to disabled, I changed to automatic. Went back into audio in control panel & it still said 'no audio device'.

Restarted PC & went back into control panel--audio & there is my audio device.

Thanks for all your guidance & patience it is appreciated. Setaves me having to pay the local PC man to fix it for me, Thanks
Janet

And the local PC man would probably just come on here to find the answer anyway
