No sound help please - driver is not compatible with my version of windows

Original title: no noise don't please help

While UN-installing some I have programs no longer use i accidentally uninstalled my driver audio soundmax. I have a dell optiplex gx520 with the 32-bit version of windows 7 Home premium. I tried to find and re - install the driver sound max and I find one and download each time it says that the driver is not compatible with my version of windows. I would really like my back her again. also, I went into the start menu and click on the sound devices and game controllers, and all that shows is my webcam. I know that I have an internal sound card and a speaker and I know that they do not work, but when I searched for the pilot, he was gone and so I know that it is uninstalled by me when I remove other programs, I no longer use. any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi Bill,

See the link to install the drivers for the Dell OptiPlex GX520. The drivers are not available for the Windows 7 operating system. Therefore, I suggest you to install in compatibility mode and check if it works:

I had computer week before because only out of town, back entrance and began August 18, but Firefox has worked that day. Does not use FF again until today. Today August 22, firefox does not start, shortcut icon changed program not there. Exe in the folder when you click Poster error message says the version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows, I am running. Exe of Firefox shows created on 20 August.

    Hello

    Some Firefox problems can be solved by performing a clean reinstall. This means that you remove Firefox program files (not the profile folder, where the bookmarks are stored) and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:

    Note: You can print these steps or consult them in another browser.

    1. Download the latest version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org office and save the installer to your computer.
    2. Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (click on quit in the file menu or Firefox).
    3. Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
      • Windows:

        • C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
        • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
      • Mac: Delete Firefox in the Applications folder.
      • Linux: If you have installed Firefox with the distribution-based package manager, you must use the same way to uninstall: see Install Firefox on Linux. If you have downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
    4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
      1. Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
      2. Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.
