No Sound

I was fiddling about with my computer, and next thing I know next time I turned it on it had a pop up box saying no access to volume control as I started it up (which it still does everytime I turn it on), and basically there's no sound on it and I can't get the sound to work.
Any suggestions on how to fix this?
Thanks

I was deleting programmes, to create more space on the computer.
I know, I know... I am a dumbass.
Deleting programs can cause several kinds of problems, especially (but not only) if you don't know what you're deleting.
Whatever you want to call it, thats what I did (don't really see the difference betwee them).
Either way, can't find installation cd, argh!
As for not finding the installation CD, don't fret. If you know what type of soundcard it is you can go to the manufactor's web page and download the drivers from there.
Right click my computer, properties, hardware, device manager.
Does anything show up with a yellow exclamation mark on?
Yup, yellow exclamation mark by the Audio device.
Is there anyway to go about it without the installation cd, you reckon? Or do I need to continue my search?
Thanks
Check the manafacture website too
Here ya go. This is the --> download page <-- for your sound drivers.
Choose the top line if you're Vista, or 2nd line if you're XP.
Oh and post 1500 :-)
Though me being me, can I ask, what do I do once I've downloaded it?
Thanks
If it's an .inf, you could go to that thing in the device manager, double click and "install drivers" (or something like it) and find that .inf. But I don't know for sure.
Just don't really know how to go about it all
I am going insane. Lost my mp3 player, my stereo is broken, and now I have no sound on my computer.
Yay, thanks guy
