All you have to do is install the audio driver. (when you reinstall the operating system you need to install drivers as well (drivers make all the hardware work eg. network, speakers, mouse)
Right click My Computer>properties then click device manager. If there are exclamation mark signs then you have missing drivers. To install drivers you have to click the exclamation mark then click (or right click) "automatically search for drivers" It should find, download and guide you through the installation process.
If your internet does not work you need to find your network drivers which can be on a disk. You can also manually download the most recent drivers for your sound card at the manufacturers website.

There is no problem with speakers.
You have to reinstall the sound driver.
If you have an 'onboard' sound system, use the motherboard CD to install it. If you don't have it, goto the motherboard manufacturer's site and download the sound driver.
If you have a separate sound card, use the sound card CD to install it. If you don't have it, goto the sound card manufacturer's site and download the driver.

I have an Dell Dimension E510 running windows XP. I have 5.1 surround sound speakers that were working fine until recently. Only 2 speakers work; left and right. None of the others have sound. I have...

Reinstall the software for the sound system, this should redetect the speakers properly as 5.1 surround sound speakers.

If you do this and it still doesn't work then the speakers are bad and your sound system would need to be replaced.

It doesnt print

delete your printer from your computer and reinstall it.
This will reset it. Make sure you have your cd with software and drivers handy or that you can download drivers from your printer company site under support of you device first.
You shouldn't need the drivers but just incase.
After you delete your printer out reboot your computer and reistall your printer. If running windows 2000,xp or Vista it should reistall it when you reboot.

Speakers work for just a second when windows starts up

Try to uninstall the sound card, shut your pc off, take the sound card off, attach it again and turn on the pc. Then reinstall the drivers and see whether the same problem occurs or not.
