At start-up, the hardware install wizard activates to
install "Multimedia Audio Controller". I'm not sure why
it's not installed; I may have accidentally deleted it
when cleaning up my hard drive. I think this is why none
of my multimedia applications like Windows Media Player
can open audio files. I tried using the wizard, but it
can't locate the file it needs. I tried looking for the
file on the Microsoft website, but I can't find it,
anywhere. Please help. I've done alot of work tonight,
and I don't want to have to resort to the system restore
application. Thanks!
 
It is looking for drivers for your sound card. Find out
the make/manufacturer of the sound card and download the
appropriate drivers from there web site. It may be an
onboard sound card as well. You may have to go to the
motherboard manufactureres website for drivers. If it is a
brand name machine such as a compaq or a dell go to there
website for drivers.

Bottom line, you need drivers.

good luck...
 
Oh, I am sorry.... I misread your post....

I doubt my suggestion directly applies to your situation, since you think
you nuked the drivers.
Try doing what I said, but with your Windows XP CD in the system, and when
it asks you where to install from, choose the CD. It may take a bit of
effort to point it to the right place, but you'll get it.

Good luck,
