Soundmax not found

[buddy bethea]

computer: custom asus pc-dl deluxe.soundmax onboard audio. I just reconnected my computer after service. soundmax control panel has red x through it. sound will not play. on desktop the icons remain and the three associated files are present, shortcut, help, etc. but soundmax control panel is not. In add or remove programs the control panel is listed as an installed program. In c/program files/analog devices/soundmax all the files seem to be there. I have a lynx 1 audio card installed as well. Does anyone know of a simple solution I am overlooking? We just ran the repair consol on the operating system and I don't want to start downloading drivers and reinstalling unless its necessary. If I do does anyone have a link direcly to the correct drivers at asus? Thank you for your assistance.
