I just got windows Vista Premium on my Laptop. Now, my sound isn't working! I already went to the device manager and tired to auto-download the sound player. It downloaded, but it says Code 10, cannot start. Any help, please?
I have the same problem

hi there,

you should go to device manager again but this time ask to update the drivers but instead of trusting microsoft to look for the driver, tell it to look in the cdrom that came with the laptop, of course make sure you have it inserted.

When the windows pop up select browse and navigate to the cd/dvd rom and go to drivers/audio and the correct drivers will be there.

alternatively look at the specs of your laptop find out what drivers are needed and visit the manufacturer's site for the audio drivers.

ie. dont trust MS to get the right drivers for you.
