i have successfully reinstalled my C drive to its original state. however, my startup bar now looks ancient-rigid silver bar with black font unlike the modern blue startup bar with white font, and i have a volume control problem! it seems i do not have a volume control panel, and my com gives out extremely loud beeps each time there is a computer error. i cant even mute my com. help pls!
anyone knows how i can install the volume panel?
You need the sound drivers. It's usually found in a CD that comes with your motherboard (or computer if it's not a DIY one), or, if you are able to identify the model of your sound card, you can find it online via Google.
Assuming that you're using Windows XP, you can change the desktop theme by right-clicking anywhere empty on the desktop, go to Properties and set the Theme to your preference.
if no cd, just go to the internet, find the manufacturer then install the driver from there....
You sure you format?
