Well, I have a Dell Inspiron 1200 laptop and I had to reformat for various reasons...anyway, I did (to windows xp, normal one), everything went all honky dory except now I have no sound at all.
It's just..gone, on aim, the instant msg sounds are just a low beep, everything is, I don't have the welcome to windows xp little chime or anything, no sound at all. Is it a driver or...what? I'm garbage with computers...

Install the sound driver from your Dell CD's or download the driver from Dell.com
