    Ok so i bought this on ebay came loaded with software and the respawn software as well. Well, i wanted to dump the entire computer, because the previous owner had a bunch of nasty stuff on it.

    On the part where i put in the image disk (respawn software), the computer says this disk is corrupt and wont work. I do a integrity check and it still is bad. Now im left with no O/S on board and will not boot.

    So i install a fresh Vista 32 bit on it, that i use on my desktop at home. After it is installed and running the sound says "No audio Output device is installed" . I installed the so called driver for this sound but still nothing. It says no audio devices are installed.

    Im stuck in a bind with no sound and can not get any of the orignal specs back. What do i do? What can i download to get this rolling? My intentions is to play world of warcraft on it, but i need to get sound first. Please any help is apprecriated.

    Go to the M9750 driver list which is stickied and try one of those drivers.

    Thank you, I did try the drivers and still nothing. Same error code on the volume. Is there like a alien ware pack i could get or something that even comes with the whole alienware GUI software.
