No sound on my PC

[gmshawn]

I accidentally press "SoundMax" change in "Add/Remove Programs".
When I reboot, BOOM, no sound...
So I tried reinstalling SoundMax but it said that the files does not support your pc( If you have recently uninstalled, please reboot, or restart and run this setup again.)
I have restart and reboot a few times but it gives me the same result.
I also tried installing realtek audio driver and also, it does not work.
I am running Windows XP SP2, I am unable to upgrade to SP3 due to my computer unable to handle the files..
Please help ME!!!!

You need a Soundmax High Definition Audio driver (you may have been trying to install a non-HD version of Soundmax)

Best to get the driver from your computer mfr support site. What is the make/model of your machine or the motherboard?
