audio problem
I recently split my hard drive and have been unable to get my sound card to work. I have a packard bell model 5x5.3. The sound card shows up on the device manager as a sound blaster pro but is actualy an aztech card. My audio utils are loaded but when I try to use them I get a message that the drivers are not installed or are disabled. Please tell me how I can fix this.

I have tried several times uninstalling and reinstalling to no avail. I believe the drivers are there but disabled and I dont know how to enable them
Sorry dude, but ''welcome to PlugnPlay Hell''. Usually if you keep fiddling long enough you'll convince it.
Try deleting the soundcard from Device Manager as Spesh suggests, then rebooting. When you reboot, Windows should redetect the soundcard and start asking for drivers. Feed it the original floppy/CDROM that came with the soundcard.

If you remember which device used to work (before the 'split'), you mentioned the AZTECH, just add new hardware and specify the device. Then remove the wrong one.
