Impossible to re-install audio driver on Latitude D400
I have no sound on my Latitude D400 and tried to re-install the audio drivers - unsucessfull. All install procedures (different versions of the relevant driver package from the DELL website) failed with a message like "fault on operating system or wrong operating system for this installation tool".
I'm running Win2000 Professional on my machine - since I've set up the machine completely new, I haven't had any sound.
I wasn't successfull to run the diagnosis tool, too.
What should I try next?

and this is definitely the driver you're trying to use yes? ftp.dell.com/.../R90698.exe
instead of running the Setup.exe that comes with the driver have you tried going to device manager and manually updating the driver for the audio hardware?

Windows 2000! That OS is pretty old with limited support, the machine will run better on XP SP3 but that too is reaching end of life.

Philip, Win 2000 was even pretty old in 2004 too when the OP posted.

Thanks Jimco I only looked at the date of the newer posts.
Dell d400, you should create a new thread explaining your problem in more detail.

Hi,
I'm not quite clear on a few things, did the sound work when you got it ? Do the diags work on sound ?. I would take out the modem, re-install the drivers from the resource CD and then try. You could then try the Diags and if all else fails, log a warranty call.
