Reformatted Dell machine but no sound

I've reformatted my 2 year old Dell Dimension 3000 for the first time in order to improve peformance (previously was getting lots of errors etc).
I now have no sound through the speakers. I have tried installing the driver using the resource CD but to no avail.
Could any help with why I am getting no sound?
Thanks!

Could you elaborate? Did it appear to install or not?
Have you tried downloading the driver from the Dell website?

Well I tried to 'Add Hardware' and it showed various items with a yellow mark next to it, one of which was 'Multimedia Audio Controller'.
I then ran the Install Wizard which said it could not find the driver (I was trying to get it to find it from the CD).
Anyway it just does not work....
P.S My taskbar (start button and grey colour bar along the bottom) has suddenly gone missing. I've tried Ctrl+Esc but it only temporarily brings up the Start menu alone - not the grey bar."To be ignorant of one's ignorance is the malady of the ignorant." Amos Bronson Alcott0 -
No problem - both issues now sorted - just wish I'd backed-up 'My Documents'.... thought I had but it turned out I hadn't..."To be ignorant of one's ignorance is the malady of the ignorant." Amos Bronson Alcott0
