Ok basically the sound manager is installed with the sound device driver. So you need to find the sound driver for your hardware and version of windows and just run the setup. That will reinstall the manager and with a bit of luck even pick up your old settings. If you look at the details for your computer it should mention the hardware or just make a not of the model. Lets say it is a Toshiba 123. You go to Toshiba and then the support pages then select the 123 model. Then click on downloads and get the audio driver or any other audio stuff that looks like a manager or suite. It won;t hurt to run any of these even if not needed. Just download and run and see if your manager is available. That is the least painless way to do this unless you have a drivers disk that lets you install just the drivers. Some will want to reinstall windows which is not what you need to do. That is a bit of overkill just to get the manager back ;-]
