How To Find Out Which Driver I Have?

7 11 06
Can anyone help a PC novice?

Have had NO SOUND thru PC for over a week. Mistakenly wiped sound program using W2k ADD/REMOVE system.

Have been advised (elsewhere here) to d/load REALTEK audio driver (as most common driver) but after 1hr 20 min d/l complete but tried to open and got;
"corrupted; download again"!!!!

Had PC made by someone 2004 and no longer in touch so cannot get advice there plus do not believe I received any driver cdRoms etc.
Am not sure how to find out if there is a Back Up somewhere on my system that might allow me to re-install components.

Have tried Windows search for updates but they state "cannot detect".
If I could find out which sound driver I have then maybe I could just go to their site and d/l the relevant but cannot find this at the moment though looked in the System Info section. There is a long list in Software Environment; Drivers and ALL are shown as "OK".

Am I looking in the right place??

My system info also has a menu title PROBLEM DEVICES and this shows one component;
Multimedia Audio Controller PCI\VEN_1106&DEV_3059&SUBSYS_97611849&REV_60\3&61AAA01&0&8D 22

Could this be the problem re No sound then and how to correct it? Did google on the above and only found some US military PC help forum and didn't help me (tho God Bless Americow).

Have ASUSTEK dvd/cd rom drives, and play mp3s on winamp. If that might help in finding a solution.

Can anyone advise....it's so quiet here now.........
