Problems with MMDRIVER.INF File with XP?

[Sting]

I’m having a problem: Maybe someone could help me out?

When I’m in the Control Panel and click on “Sounds and Audio Devices”, a window pops up reading:

“Cannot find the MMDRIVER.INF file needed to install drivers. The file may be damaged or may not be in your Windows System32 Directory. Copy the original file on Windows Disk 1 to your System32 directory”.

When I checked Windows System32 folder, I can’t find the file. The funny thing is that when I close the message box above, “Sounds and Audio Devices" will open up. And no doubt I'll need the file in the future.

Now for the stupid question: “How do I re-install the above file”? I’ve been using Windows XP for about 2 weeks now, and really don’t know much about this operating system.

Any help would be appreciated?

Thanks for your time,

John

You can surf the disk till you find that file then copy it to that directory...or

Stick your XP disk in the drive... boot from it.


Then do a Repair... R

type chkdsk /r
