A friend of mine, who "knows computers" reformated it and wiped it clean. Well now it runs better and I have no sound. When ever I try to play a song on winamp it says " bad directsound driver". Can anyone help me get my sound back please????

[/ QUOTE ]

1) What version of Windows was on the computer prior to wiping it clean? Was the reinstall done from a cd/dvd that originally came with your Dell computer?

2) Does the sound just not work using Winamp? What happens if you try playing a file using say Media Player? Does any sound come from that?

D'oh! Be sure to install the drivers. Seriously, you really don't need to do that.
