The sound does not work on my computer and in the devices panel I get the
yellow cirlce with an exclamation point on the C-Media AC97 Audio device.
Where can I download it from so I can re-install it (without having to
purchase an application to do it for me)?

Try your computer manufacturer's website.

You have a ECS mother board. That is the on chip audio device.
http://www.ecsusa.com/ is the site where I download stuff for my ECS board.
Find the model number of your board before you visit the site.
Good luck.

BTW this is the WU Newsgroup, not directory services.

Thanks but when I went to the cmedia site it led to the Software Detective
site, which wanted me to pay for an application. I went to the Realtek site
and downloaded a Realtek AC97 driver which worked for me. Thank you.
