SYMPTOMS
When you try to play a sound (.wav) file, you may receive the following error message:

Sound Recorder cannot record or play back because a sound device is not installed. To install a sound device, click 'Add New Hardware' in Control Panel.

CAUSE
This problem can occur if the "drivers=MMSYSTEM.DLL" entry is missing from the [boot] section of the System.ini file.

RESOLUTION
Add the following line to the [boot] section of the System.ini file: drivers=MMSYSTEM.DLL

If the line is present but has a semicolon

MM

I would remove the sound card then readd it first. if its built in remove it from the device manager then reboot the computer. make sure you have current drivers available......

ad-aware deleted everything then that happened I shut the computer off and on and it came back

Thanks for the help though.
