I just built a new computer and installed all of the drivers. It worked well until the comp froze and went back to the settings it was at before the computer auto installed the drivers. The problem is that I can't get the comp. to reload the drivers (mainly vid card) and (sound card). How do I get things working right again instead of working (more or less in safe mode) as it would seem?
when my computer starts up a get an error message that says error loading cmicnfg.cpl i think that this may have something to do w/ my previous post. Please respond if you can help

This is a reference to the onboard sound, also known as AC '97 sound. Do you have a sound card plugged in? This can lead to confusion within Windows if the onboard sound is not turned off.
I too am getting the same error message on re-boot. error loading cmicnfg.cpl on Windows 98SE with a Chaintech 7KJD Mainboard. Driving me crazy as well. Have delete and reload several times. Have deleted sound and video devices and rebooted but error returns each time. Will start up with sound but eventually the sound drops out and have to reboot to get it back.

I had windows auto-install my onboard sound, but my computer still refuses to make any noise. Looked in device manager at the sound device "C-Media AC97 Audio Device" and there is a yellow exclamation mark next to it.
I then go to Add-Remove-Hardware and remove "C-Media WDM Audio Driver" and reboot. When XP reboots I get the error message about "cmicnfg.cpl", and of course still no sound working on my computer.
